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
