--I don’t think the tweeting would be super helpful, though maybe
--If it’s so simple to hook up small RL models to trading platforms and make money, why aren’t others doing it? Why don’t big quant firms use giant neural nets? (Or do they? I’ve heard they use old-school algorithms instead)
--The scaling laws seem to predict that if you want a giant model to be useful you need a correspondingly giant amount of data (otherwise, a smaller model would work almost as well.) Are you thinking GPT-N would generalize from its other knowledge to be good at trading? If not, wouldn’t it need a lot more trading data than you are giving it?
My hot take:
