Life update: I’m beyond excited to start my PhD in Economics at UC Berkeley this Fall! I am grateful to have had many wonderful people who contributed to my journey until here.
Here’s a thread of thanks:

While we’re talking about much-needed environmental review reform: California High-Speed Rail had to study how running service on existing tracks between SF and San Jose would affect anchovies, sardines, mackerel, and market squid. The rail line has existed since the 1860s.

The dominant model people use to think about AI's effect on the labor market is automation. But perhaps commoditization is a better model. Automation implies job apocalypse. Commoditization implies plentiful jobs with low wages. 1/

Everything in @jasonfurman’s post is worth a read, but this especially. Many economist, social scientist, policy analysts are massively underestimating what the technology can do already.

Some thoughts on You Can See Everything.

Lots of people pointing out that reading one book a week with mandatory lecture attendance isn't, objectively speaking, a high bar. Fair enough.

But if you’re restoring standards in higher ed, you’ve gotta start somewhere. This course’s popularity is great news!

Excellent paper with high relevance to the AI writing discussion.

“I discuss my ideas with the AI, it’s all my ideas and the AI is just writing them.”

Same category of statement as “most people are bad at multitasking but not me”

Lula wins, and it wasn’t particularly close — 3.5% or more than 4 million votes.

It’s an epic comeback and we will need time to fully understand it. But one thing is clear — the extension in voting hours was not the difference maker in this race.
