This reads like a fluff piece for Goldman Sachs and the startup Cognition. It’s running in a bunch of outlets concurrently.

Goldman gets to appear as being on the cutting edge by incorporating AI. The startup behind the agent GS is using, Cognition (who is seeking a $2B valuation), gets to be seen as effective and bolster their name recognition.

Paul Graham’s “The Submarine” article seems relevant: https://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

Lol, considering that the entire pricing and risk system of the company runs on a proprietary programming language, I'm pretty sure this is just publicity

I'm all for this! Goldman Sachs can spend their profits on LLM programming, and then pay even more to consultants when some edge case input triggers a problem! Win-win!
