Great things are happening every day, here to amplify the positive

In his book On the Brink, Hank Paulson writes During the GFC, China held its massive US debt/GSE holdings instead of dumping them to deepen the crisis. They understood the mutual impact and didn’t screw the US.

Invoke the “China race” to call for governance & accelerate AI?

Credible physical risk is priced when markets can infer economically relevant exposure; regulatory labels matter primarily insofar as they convey information about that exposure.

California's 2007 wildfire re-zoning cut prices of newly designated homes by 5.7%, yet prices moved smoothly across the zone boundary. Homebuyers responded to the underlying risk, not the salient label. #ClimateRisk #RealEstate #HousingMarkets https://t.co/JT10flBMdL

“Psychologists have learned that happiness is really a function not of the intensity of experiences that you have, but rather the frequency of them,” says Chicago Booth’s Nick Epley. @Forbes https://t.co/yPoqUsSq5L

LLMs are not going to bring superintelligence/AGI. Maybe some other configuration of AI will? In concert with LLMs? So far, seems like more of a "bespoke applications" path to "success."
I highly recommend Cal Newport's latest video on this topic.

Habit formations and reinforcements, using AI will eventually be like looking into a mirror on micro level. On macro level, it will be a market of lemons.
@timdesilva congratulations Tim, so happy to see you on this.

We don't think our way into excellence: we behave our way into it. Small daily improvements compound far more than occasional bursts of motivation.

@arpitrage It sounds great, but that’s the catch: this mortgage idea makes borrowers, investors, and servicers all uncertain about their payoffs.
