Found this article by a quant at ESCP on a Python-coded dynamic overlay strategy on top of an equity portfolio that uses risk indicators to help hedge decision making; for the uninitiated

Didier Rodrigues Lopes wrote a thought-provoking article on Financial Services and AI and how OpenBB, Bloomberg, LSEG and others are competing and ultimately, how the tech tailwinds (eg MCP, LLMs) are impacting their product road maps.

My thoughts below:

"As a baseline assumption, better models are a rising tide that lifts all boats."

But AI doesn't create sustainable moats!

This article explains why:

A large nuclear spin has been successfully placed in a Schrödinger cat state, a superposition of its two most widely separated spin coherent states. This can be used as an error-correctable qubit.
