“…We cannot go back in time and change conditions and see what would then have happened if things had been different. However, on the computer as well as in the laboratory, we do have this luxury, so let us use it.” (An Introduction to #Socio_Finance, 2013)

I’m thrilled for the opportunity to share the stage this morning at the @UNESCO House in Paris with the wonderful program co-organizers Stuart Russell and Mark Nitzberg. Along with my wonderful colleague and friend, Jaime Fernández Fisac, we provided opening remarks about the truly interdisciplinary program we curated for this year’s conference hosted by the Association for Safe and Ethical AI (IASEAI). #AI is a transformative and consequential technology, and it should be up to all of us — not just a few — to decide where it takes humanity.

Penny gone! Just realized that stores can no longer charge $X.99 — are the natural experiment economists starting their engines?

A Palestinian whose family was ethnically cleansed from Gaza in 1948 won the Nobel Prize. He was lucky 1srael did not kill him, as they routinely do with skilled Palestinians.

Melody: something that sounds good in sequence.

Harmony: something that sounds good in parallel.

Ergodicity problem: confusing melody with harmony.

Listen, propagandists; you idiots don't get that "Accessory to Genocide" is a label that will stick to you for life.

The @royalsociety is going to publish a theme issue of Philosophical Transactions A, on `Ergodicity and ergodicity breaking in the sciences.'

Very excited to see all the contributions, currently preparing mine.

I've rarely met an independent scientist, that is someone who doesn't care about an employer, sources of funds, reputation, customers, resumé building, etc. (Financial independence rarely eliminates dependence.) Such a scientist is Stephen Wolfram, @stephen_wolfram.

Israel bombs a hospital to kill journalists, then bombs the rescue team retrieving their bodies. How many war crimes is that?
