If you’re still not sure how to think about NFTs, check out our paper that approaches the subject with both theory and data.

Finally posted a paper I'm very proud of: NFTs as digital Veblen goods!

[alz @alz_zyd_]

In this paper with @sammy_rosen and Sebeom Oh, we find a natural experiment "disrupting" initial NFT sales. Suppose a collection launches, and BTC prices happen to move a lot. The mint is less likely to succeed, because NFT buyers are distracted managing their crypto portfolios

@GregWEaton Thanks, looks interesting! It also seems like the fee can mostly be offset with some selective spending.

Anyone have recommendations for a credit card or other scheme for airport lounge access? I had Priority Pass for a while but its quality declined too much over time.

[Sam Rosen @sammy_rosen]

@marcofrancisc Indeed! It seems hard to find credible advice in this area.

[Sam Rosen @sammy_rosen]

@acocotero Okay so I should consider cards/memberships associated with Star Alliance. Good to know - thanks!

Just discovered how to set the wallpaper on my phone to shuffle through featured photos. Now I get fun surprises throughout the day when I check my phone. 10/10 would recommend.

@alz_zyd_ Tough question because I may only care more about the future now because I’m older. In other words it’s hard to imagine the true counterfactual. But I definitely care more about THEIR future and am willing to sacrifice today accordingly.

[Sam Rosen @sammy_rosen]

Great episode! A particularly interesting tidbit from Marco during this convo: Goldman developers’ measured productivity increased on the order of 10%-40% after introducing gen AI. Given all the hype in this area it’s nice to have some quantitative guidance.

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

NEW ODD LOTS:

One of the best AI episodes we've ever had.

@tracyalloway and I talked to Goldman's top engineer, CIO Marco Argenti, who came to the bank from AWS, about how the bank is actually using generative AI, and the results they're already getting. https://t.co/IxXS5hwM4Z
