MODERATORS
Biologists are (often) excellent statisticians too, you're correct. That's why the most successful quants are biologists or physicists, despite not having trained in finance.
They're not experts in (the badly misnamed) AI. They're experts in the statistical models AI uses. They know an awful lot more than the likes of Sam Altman and the AI-hypers. Because they're trained specialists, not techbro grifters.
