@drmtgr Je trouve assez fou “la névrose” collective sur le sujet. L’IA a bien sûr des impacts mais quand on compare à d’autres usages numériques /électroniques (streaming, jeux vidéos etc) c’est loin de la catastrophe. Pourquoi une telle monomanie sur LLMs qui seraient mega polluants ?

This right here is the real ergodicity economics.

Sandomirskiy and Tamuz took a result inspired by some kind of decision theory and came to a very neat result about physics, now published in a math journal.

It's amazing how the latest round of "math in economics" has brought back all of our favorite characters:
- ergodicity dude
- complexity guy
- greedflation lady
- gauge theory weirdo
- just print more money woman
- Austrian economist who hates math

[Ben Golub @ben_golub]

I was expecting to hate Tim Hartford's piece, which essentially says that the math in economics "feels wrong" for the subject.

But I liked it! He's right. Today's economics does invest a lot of its mathematical effort in the wrong stuff.

@drmtgr Sur ça et la population il y’a cet article. https://t.co/ncD3xrgGMT

Economist: "Now we will no longer assume full employment, perfect competition, and no money."

Average person: "So… it starts to look more like the actual economy?"

Economist: "Exactly. Now have you taken real analysis?”

In this new working paper with @pgpiacquadio, we show that, under some assumptions, the social welfare function must closely align with people’s ethical views. A troubling conclusion, but one that suggests a paradigm shift in how we do welfare economics

Everyone’s talking about @erikbryn, @econ_b & @RuyuChen’s excellent new paper Canaries in the Coal Mine.

It shows entry-level jobs shrinking in AI-exposed occupations.

But wait: earlier studies found AI helps novices most.

So why are entry-level jobs disappearing? (1/n)

1/ I was very happy to see @AnthropicAI announce that Claude is now able to "end a rare subset of conversations," namely "extreme cases of persistently harmful or abusive user interactions." Why is this policy valuable? A short 🧵 about a complex issue.

[Gabriele Gratton @grattonecon]

4 years ago, in "From Weber to Kafka", we argued that shocks of political instability lead to a spiral of deterioration of state capacity.

The mechanism: bad political incentives -> bad laws -> inefficient bureaucracy -> bad political incentives

Yes! Teach eigenvalues in the high schools.

[Econometrica @ecmaEditors]

Could a highly desirable agent accept a partner that a less desirable agent would reject? When matching requires search in time-changing environments, this paper proves this impossible only where more desirable agents are more patient and less risk-averse. https://t.co/G5DsLJjqe6
