Keno pointed out that, historically, once the tournament data scientists “solve” the payout structure, the Numerai team is quick to update the payout calculations. He said, “Trying to earn NMR, from my observations of others, works for a little bit but then they figure it out and say, ‘these people are gaming us,’ so they change the [payouts] … you kind of have to think ‘what am I going to do with this competition — am I going to always try to game them? Or do I just submit a model that makes sense?’”
