Our new paper, "The Agentic Economy," argues that the proliferation of AI agents will solve the communication overhead created by the ever-increasing division of labor.

@Mad_Puppies @Brick_Suit German PM is called "chancellor" and the current chancellor's name is Merz not Scholz - and this isn't a spoon either.

@elonmusk Why don't you tweet about how Putin's regime murdered Navalny last year? Or how Putin manipulated elections in the past 12 years to get 're-elected"? Instead, we are supposed to believe that it's a far worse scandal when the Ukrainian president and his wife appear on Vogue?

This is the best news I read all this year.

House Approves Long-Stalled Ukraine Aid https://t.co/VFNnWHlm9b

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Mike Johnson on the possibility he’ll lose the speakership over a vote on Ukraine aid:

“My philosophy is you do the right thing and you let the chips fall where they may. If I operated out of fear of a motion to vacate, I would never be able to do my job."

@jacksonhinkle Here is a better question: why are we letting idiot English speaker who can't think post nonsense?

[Markus Mobius @markusmobius]

@erikbryn This is super interesting. This Bloomberg article points out low labor productivity: US projects employ 4 times the labor compared to equivalent European projects: https://t.co/QPYCBgc6aG

This talk just made me rethink why so much news reporting is bad. It might not be about some inherent fascination with bad news but simply about the DGP for good and bad news.

[Markus Mobius @markusmobius]

Question from a recent TED talk: if newspapers would only report once every 100 years instead of daily what would be on the homepage? The speaker suggested that it would not be the moon landing, or WW2 but instead the doubling of life expectancy from 35 to 70 in many countries..

[Markus Mobius @markusmobius]

Lots of positive news are long-term trends while negative news is often about deltas (war, famine, earthquake) and reporting focuses on the largest deltas. But over a 100 year frame the positive trends look like big deltas too.

[Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney]

The single most important thing we can do to strengthen America relative to China is to see Russia defeated in Ukraine. A weakened Russia deters the CCP's territorial ambition, and halts Putin's vision of reestablishing the old Soviet Union. Supporting Ukraine is in our interest.
