We kick off with a talk on insurtech that Jathan gave last week on the politics of machine learning and actuarial science, then get deeper into dynamics of speculative asset bubbles, why insurers live and die by the “float,” and some of the cutting-edge insurtech innovations — and fuel for nightmares — that we learned about in Vegas.
