The essential tool of econometrics is multivariate linear regression, an 18th-century technology that was already mastered by Gauss before 1794. Standard econometric models do not learn. It is hard to believe that something as complex as 21st-century finance could be grasped by…

John C Bogle: Can’t be measured

“Artificial intelligence is based on the assumption that the mind can be described as some kind of formal system manipulating symbols that stand for things in the world.
