@mc@mathstodon.xyz This also plays into my conspiracy theory that quant finance was a decade ahead of the rest of the world in deep RL when it peaked around 2017 (aka they knew some stuff back then that nobody knows to this day), but then were completely blindsided by the transformer architecture (which for them is probably far more useful to run on raw time series data than on language)
