Some personal news. I've decided to take a leave of absence from academia. I'm off to @ChickfilA to be a data scientist!

[Enrico Manlapig @jaffle_maker]

Oh my. I suppose I'm not surprised but I didn't expect the results to be this dramatic. 😱

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying.

Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.

Here's what 4 months of data revealed:

(hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)

@blakevictorkent @whitworth @Westmont Whoa! That looks fun!

@JohnHelveston Still here! 👋 Not as active on here since leaving the academe, though. Actually, I feel like a lot of folks either moved on from academia or Posit/RStudio around the same time, which seemed to suck the air out of the community.

@ChelseaParlett PTO is so great. I used to think PTO allotments of 10 to 20 days sounded paltry. But when you include weekends off, the difference with academia is huge!

Umm... Nope. Price control bad. 🙅🏽‍♀️

A fascinating UBI study with a substantial transfer to a big sample of individuals over a long time.

The results aren't what I was hoping for but it sounds like there's a lot more to come.

[Eva Vivalt @evavivalt]

We are happy to release the first results of a RCT of a US program that provided $1,000/month unconditionally for 3 years to 1,000 individuals in the treatment group, with a group of 2,000 people receiving $50/month serving as the control.

These are sizable transfers. 1/ 🧵

Super sharp paper. Very, very cool.

[Uta Bolt @uta_bolt]

We analysed thousands of essays written by children in 1969 to study what determines how strongly girls conform with gender norms, and what the consequences are for later-life outcomes. Find out more below!

Btw - I LOVE that economists study this stuff.

You pick teleportation?! Why?? To avoid traffic? To go on vacation?

I'm on team mind control.

@blakevictorkent Baptflix. Oh that's good. Fun to say, too.

[Amanda Goetz @AmandaMGoetz]

If you haven’t seen the Harrison Butker graduation speech, please go watch it.

Here’s a quote:

“For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment.

You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives.

I want to speak directly to you briefly, because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you.

How many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world,

but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.

I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.”

👀

This is the programming of so many people.

People believe women are here to support men. That our job is to create babies, not companies and jobs.

Not be equals.

I love being a partner.
I love being a mom.

But I also love my career and the fulfillment I get from my work.

If you’ve ever wondered what the patriarchy is, it’s this. This programming and thinking.

It causes subconscious hate and disgust for women who don’t follow these societal rules and expectations of what a woman “should” do and be.

I’m sorry to every graduate who had to sit there and listen to that.

Go on to change the world - however you choose.
