Can an AI model predict perfectly and still have a terrible world model?
What would that even mean?
Our new ICML paper (poster tomorrow!) formalizes these questions.
One result tells the story: A transformer trained on 10M solar systems nails planetary orbits. But it botches gravitational laws 🧵

Enjoying a great day with #EctJ events at #RES2025. Stéphane Bonhomme gave the Sargan Lecture on dynamic feedback & unobserved heterogeneity in panel data. In EctJ’s Special Session, @asheshrambachan.bsky.social & Tim Christensen discussed challenges arising from using AI/LLMs in economic research
What’s on at #RES2025?
Top lectures & sessions incl.:
🔹 Bonhomme – Panel Data
🔹 Iriberri – Women in Econ Journals
🔹 Greenstone – Climate & Transfers
🔹 Mary Morgan – Econ Narratives
