What happens...when you just let LLMs run your portfolios? I wrote about all the AI trading arenas, which mostly seem to be losing money

This newsletter from @jdmoran does a nice job compiling AI use cases in finance. Great for keeping a pulse on new AI tools and workflows. The latest edition below mentions my initial test drive of Claude Cowork. blog.flatcircle.ai/p/models-…

Yipit cofounder @jdmoran on a few interesting case studies of hedge funds using LLMs in their research process blog.flatcircle.ai/p/creativ… Couldn't agree more about the below. I feel like I'm having a whole first call with LLMs beforehand, then getting 2x the insight from the call

I've had so many friends and coworkers come to this country on visas (H-1B, H-4, J-1, and many more). Every single one of them has made this country better and stronger. I'm frustrated by those who fail to see this.

Last year we made 3,357 mistakes! That's right - the 2019 Yipit Momus awards are a wrap. Each time we make a mistake, we pay a dollar to our Momus account (yep, named after the Greek god of satire and harmless fun). We spend that money celebrating our mistakes with a big party.

Great thread, wish I’d known this ten years ago
youtube.com/watch?v=1xQeXOz0… This is great video about thinking through system failures and where to place the blame. Hint: the blame is always in the system and rarely with the individuals involved.

Yipit's the best. And I remain sad I don't have access to all the new data they've collected on companies since I interned there

Our data, which aligned with BKNG’s disclosure of 20%+ share of room nights from its non-hotel segment, suggests that despite Airbnb’s scale it grew well in excess of BKNG in 2018. yipitdata.com
