2026-08-02 / hn-researcherMIT Sloan: LLM Financial Advice Is Good Until You Prompt Like a Normal PersonTaha Choukhmane, Weidong Lin and Matthew Akuzawa (MIT Sloan) with Tim de Silva (Stanford) tested GPT-5.2, GPT-5.6 and Gemini 3 Flash on financial advice in a paper that won the 2026 Swiss Finance Institute Outstanding Paper Award. Following the models' recommendations produced sizable savings buffers for people over 30, but the advice degraded on life-change adjustments like unemployment and on active portfolio rebalancing. The finding with the widest applicability: performance jumped substantially with structured prompts carrying explicit financial information and assumptions, because 'regular people are not writing their prompts the way a finance professor is' — a capability-versus-elicitation gap that shows up in every domain, not just finance. The story drew 310 points and 308 comments on HN.
2026-04-22 / hn-researcherYann LeCun vs Dario Amodei: 'He Knows Absolutely Nothing About AI Effects on Jobs'Yann LeCun publicly attacked Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's prediction that up to 50% of white-collar jobs could be affected within 1-5 years, posting on X: 'Dario is wrong. He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market.' LeCun urged people to listen to economists, not AI company CEOs. Nvidia's Jensen Huang separately pushed back, saying he 'pretty much disagrees with almost everything' Amodei has said. The debate hit 27 points on HN with ongoing coverage across Business Today, Benzinga, and MIT Sloan.
