NEW: The Harvard Law Review has made DEI the "first priority" of its admissions process. It routinely kills or advances pieces based on the author's race. It even vets articles for racially diverse citations.

And guess what? Editors at the top journal put all this in writing.🧵

And it can also also help with reviewing??????

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

I made ChatGTP write reviews of my paper on the role of middle management as if it was journal reviewer. The first "reviewer" did identify some real issues that I addressed in later drafts...

Then I asked it to simulate a typical Reviewer #2 & Reviewer #3. Things got too real 😉

So, if one could link this to an avatar to deliver the lectures, how long would it take one instructor could set up and prepare for delivery a whole program master’s program in management and entrepreneurship?

New ⁦@CGDev⁩ paper by ⁦@MegAyyagari⁩ ⁦@vmaxim0⁩ and me: Are star firms using market power to achieve their returns or higher productivity? After correcting for mis-measurement of intangibles, we find it is the latter. https://t.co/IJz7udFksR

@JohnnyBCCB @PedramHoss @AlexThomp @margbrennan Yeah, that’s a fair point. I’m actually not in favor of withdrawl, but I can see where the herd as moved. Maintaining a presence is no longer politically viable.

12/ INSANE SOCCER STORY PART #1

Barbados played Grenada to qualify for the 1994 Caribbean Cup. Per tournament rules, a goal in extra time would be worth 2x goals for qualification purposes.

@ end of regulation, Barbados was winning 2-1 but it wasn’t enough goals to qualify...

@JustinWolfers Is this because we took so long to both (1) test, and (2) stay TF home?

Parliament can pass what legislation it likes after the departure, but rejoining the EU (or pretending by a legal fiction that the UK has never left) is beyond its competence.https://t.co/N3wryz8IbS
