It's not just RL.

Many of the harnesses used to search for solutions rely on quick/cheap correctness checks to discard incorrect hypotheses. With something like biology, you might need to run a wet lab experiment to reject an idea. This can add days per iteration, slowing progress down by a factor of 100 or more.

The sad reality is that many computational approximations for biological phenomenon are relatively weak and lack the predictive power we need.

High frequency trading shops like Jane Street.

Their brokerage dark pools their trades and front runs them.

Frequently they get pump-and-dumped based on some bullshit they read on Reddit.

These people lose money relative to index funds, so even putting money in index funds will let you take advantage of them.

ICYMI, the "alpha" is a reference to "alphabet", i.e., Google, after deepmind was acquired. You have branded your paper as coming from Google.

It's a quarter million people (including temps/vendors/contractors) over almost 28 years. There's no "just" here.

It's extremely inconsistent internally as well.

Look up the slime mold analogy for Google.
