Don’t change the regime and just take the oil?
I really get the feeling that Anthropic should have been charging more than $200m for what they provide.
Takeshi Amemiya, my colleague and friend for many decades, has died at age 90. He made fundamental contributions to econometrics, having, as an empirical scholar, some gripes with the available toolkit. In retirement, he taught a course on the Economics of Ancient Greece. /1
Prediction, Decision-MIf artificial intelligence is best understood as a technology of prediction, how does that reshape who makes decisions, who captures value, and who sets the rules of modern markets? @joshgans.bsky.social @utoronto.ca @econuoft.bsky.social discusses: faculti.net/the-microeco...

I’m am so sick of these emails. I get one a day from different parts of the world. I assume this is just one spam bot producing them all.
As I collect these stories, @alroth.bsky.social Nobel prize winning paper (“The Economics of Matching: Stability and Incentives,” Mathematics of Operations Research 1982) was initially rejected by the JPE.
Just program an AI to logon for you.
I think someone needs to send a mental health ship to DC.
There was a real danger American kids could get their hands on more dolls. Phew!
Emotional?

So they are releasing the ET Files rather than the Epstein Files?
On the other site got pointed to this JPE article by Tullock from 1973
Formalising this is useful because, not surprisingly, it isn’t really the number of miracles but their type that matters. But you want to run experiments that target miracles that can be resolved by information. No experiment will help violate a law of physics.
The informal idea was that ventures that require too many miracles to happen for success aren’t a great idea. So you want to run experiments (gather info) to reduce the number of miracles that have to happen.
I have a new paper out today that formalises a concept that I and others have been using when advising entrepreneurs: their miracle budget. www.nber.org/papers/w34850
A partner at KPMG Australia has been fined A$10,000 ($7,000) after uploading materials to an AI platform to cheat on an internal training course about the technology. ft.trib.al/XevFw0k
The word "great," I don't think it means what you think it means.
We've passed 100 paying institutions for www.alldayta.com! Super exciting to see profs using it in 26 countries, from Ivy League grad courses on down. About to release updates to our AI-driven, prof-in-loop, adaptive quiz: first thing we've done some students dislike (but that's a good thing!) 1/2
Why isn't the headline "Harvard Professor takes a Chainsaw to ICE"?
I normally don’t think Open Letters do a whole lot. But … I wonder what would happen if we had an economics open letter to implore @jonstewart (whom I have loved for years) to actually learn some bloody economics. Maybe a few hours at mru.org would do the trick.
Try Intelligent Quiz in AllDayTa. Will draw from your lectures and we made sure it doesn’t do this.
You don’t think it’s interesting what the AI might say?. I like getting the impression.
