As someone who did some simulation focused engineering grad school stuff; there is a tendency for some of the best to go become quants. Does the field need it? I don’t know. But for whatever reason the draw of the “print money using math tricks” seems to attract some hardcore folks, haha.

It is really frustrating to see good engineers go to play trading games. We should study how exactly it is China managed to unlock this capacity.

Government effectively banned unproductive tech (adtech, fintech etc) and told ppl to go do stuff like robotics and AI

I’m beginning to suspect this invisible hand isn’t as clever as it was made out to be.
