Poly crisis
Do you think gulf states that gifted Trump/Kushner families are wondering if they can get a refund @donmoyn.bsky.social ?
But they’re in the financial *services* industry!
(our meeting with the university provided TIAA rep always starts with my asking if he’s a fiduciary and him hemming and hawing)
I got an ad email from Fidelity (where I think my state defaulted me into high fee 529 accounts) advertising a webinar on crypto investing (to be clear I don’t know what side they were taking on it)
(And which AI/model?)
Can I ask what kinds of insights these were? Investment strategies vs legal/tax issues, etc?
I thought he was about to introduce his counterfactual relationship he keeps in parallel
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Someone putting the Institute for Advanced Study chalkboards to other good use…
We are in the Find Out phase.
Thanks for all the great work everybody there does!
FYI the link doesn’t seem to work for me at the moment, but I’m impressed that even your page not found error is 96 better than everybody else’s
Genius! There's a reason you're the go-to on these

“which AI model/version number should replace you” is the new which boy band character are you
Current events confirm the achieved wisdom of time-honored classics in the social sciences.
A really disturbing account of sexual harassment at the Center for Effective Altruism and failure of the org to adequately address it until it became clear that the victim was going to make her account public

The Criminal Justice team at Arnold Ventures is looking for a pending/recent PhD with strong causal inference skills, for a remote, part-time consulting position.
This is a great opportunity for someone considering a transition from academia to the policy space.

Guessing this isn’t a problem for econ explainer accounts
After taking years to learn how to use em dashes apparently now I have to give them up because they're AI tells. This is like me having to deliberately mispronounce names if I want Siri to call them from a voice command.
Excellent piece from researchers describing that basic income pilots in the US typically don't offer the kinds of life-altering amounts that cash transfer studies abroad do, but there are US anti-poverty programs like SNAP that do offer that level of help, and we could model more programs on.
Dare I say it… smokin’ guitar solo (who needs a headstock when you could have a cigarette holder)
Looks like it was an amazing show
I couldn't find live without a net on Spotify, but listened to another VH set on the way in to New Haven today and smiled the whole way, and then it gave me this video suggestion, see if you spot yourself: open.spotify.com/track/2spe1n...
(phone app Spotify shows concert video, dunno about web)
Dammit, what's next? People holding questions until the end??
