Donald C. Wunsch IIGUEST
And, uh, uh, and anywayUh, I got in a conversation with a fellow who was doing modeling, uh, of, um, uh, he, he-- I think he was using stochastic differential equations, and he was modeling deviations from the Black-Scholes model or something like that.

Donald C. Wunsch IIGUEST
And, uh, I had a fascinating conversation, and, uh, as you might recall, uh, before I joined your lab, I got a master's in applied math, and I think that that was my edge when, uh, uh, when coming to, uh, talk to faculty members and, uh, a-and I came to you, and, uh, you were my first choice, and thankfully, you took me as your student.

Donald C. Wunsch IIGUEST
And, uh, I, I found out that you could write down the math as fast as I could read it.

Donald C. Wunsch IIGUEST
But I had a talk with a guy, and he was doing this mathematical modeling, uh, using stochastic differential equations and other tools, uh, and he was an economist.

Donald C. Wunsch IIGUEST
And so, um, one thing that I would, uh, that I'm warning people about hubris in the field of AI is that, uh, like the business school students, the English majors, uh, uh, people like that, uh, they are, uh, they are not what, uh, what maybe, uh, uh, people in their sixties and older envision those fields as being, uh, when they went into STEM disciplines and saw these other people in non-STEM fields.

Donald C. Wunsch IIGUEST
... "No, you're, you're violating the standards." And, uh, and so I took out the Uzis, and then it did it.

Donald C. Wunsch IIGUEST
Um, but, uh, one of the images was pretty funny, and I, I did wind up, uh, posting that image just to see whether people laughed at it or not.

Donald C. Wunsch IIGUEST
She was clearly an athletic young woman, uh, but she was probably about m- at most 120 pounds and, uh, uh, you know, very attractive young woman dressed like a Jets offensive line, uh, line person.

Donald C. Wunsch IIGUEST
I'm not athletic at all, uh, but I weigh about 220 pounds, and most of my strength is in my legs.

Donald C. Wunsch IIGUEST
Uh, if she's the only thing preventing me from sacking Aaron Rodgers, and I didn't have any gentlemanly politeness, I'm sacking Aaron Rodgers.
