Isn't DE Shaw quant based? He started almost 30 years ago in 1987.

I understand your skepticism but see no value in it. Throwing up your arms and saying it can't be done doesn't seem like an intelligent way to look at the problem when you consider that someone else has already shown you that it can be done.

David Shaw is a hero to all scientists that hate writing grants. The best part is that once he was done terrorizing Wall Street for 20 years, he went back to research in protein folding.

Now there is a role model for you.

Disclosure: DE Shaw paid for some of my research long ago.

This company? https://www.deshawresearch.com

It looks quite large. What are the goals of their research?
