In an excellent essay, @alexolegimas argued for the demand for humanness (the "relational sector") as what would protect jobs from AI. Today in Silicon Continent I answer with the supply side argument I develop in my forthcoming book "Messy Jobs".

This 2-hour Stanford lecture breaks down how models like ChatGPT and Claude are actually built, clearer than what many people in top AI roles ever get exposed to.

Save this and set aside two hours today. It might end up being the most valuable thing you learn all week.

How to speak: When I was at MIT, everyone knew that this talk by my colleague, AI pioneer Patrick Winston, was one of the Institute's treasures.

@MarcHvidkjaer @fghjorth @ThorkilKlint Thanks @MarcHvidkjaer — If you are interested, I just posted a new version on my web page that includes also the most recent Norwegian election (September 2025).

My first publication! 🥳

It's published in @JPubEcon (w/ Benny Geys & @RuneJSorensen) and tackles a classic question:

Why do people vote in large elections, when the probability of casting a pivotal vote is virtually zero? 🗳️

@joaoc Thanks @joaoc! I enjoyed my visit to ISEG very much.

@Partiet skriver "Havner vi f.eks. på 3,99, får vi inn tre mandater, som i dag. Men kommer vi på bare 4,01, kan vi få inn 7-9." Jeg tviler på 8 (som i illustrasjonen) eller 9. Det kan gjerne bli 6 (med 4.01% oppslutning). Oppslutninga om andre parti avgjør.

MDG (@Partiet) ber velgere stemme taktisk for å passere sperregrensa (https://t.co/xBCeUkh1uO). Illustrasjonen 👇 er litt optimistisk, men viser en viktig diskontinuitet i valgsystemet. I 2021 ville 1720 flere stemmer til MDG gitt 4 ekstra mandater – tatt fra FrP (2), SV og H.

Sadly, four years later, this paper appears even more relevant.... and with way more questions than answers... @sguriev (@LBS) The Political Economy of #Populism (@AEAjournals Journal of Economic Literature).

Trump increased in 2-party vote share in 48 out of 50 states. More so in blue states. Less in battlegrounds.

Like hundreds of millions of people today, after the results of the US election, I feel like having a 100 pound rock weighing on my chest. Rarely in my life, have I felt so much uncertainty on the future of the US and of the world. 1/
