Fantastic long article by Vijay Pande (a VC!) It's crucial reading if you wonder whether @AI is really a #bubble that might crash. The important thing it clarifies is what to do, politically and economically, "to steer what comes after" the crash. vijaypande.substack.com/p/let-it-cra...

Let It Crash: How to Steer What Comes After

“The Fourth Pillar” has to be built before the crash, not after.

A brilliant unmissable message from @rgmcgrath.bsky.social It's about the direction of the policy shift needed now. It's a short podcastDon't miss it. t.co/RL0Mm8IzYb

I had been keeping my Twitter (i.e.X) account while Bluesky grew more. But i refused to register or pay. It's disgusting that the trillionaire should charge, when others don't, and that he would want to use people's communications to feed his Grok. Today I could not enter. I guess that's the end!

What if the AI excitement IS a bubble and there IS a crash?! Is anyone in government prepared to confront the consequences, not just saving finance as in 2008, but saving the victims and the economy? This from @asad09.bsky.social is essential reading: cdn.vanderbilt.edu/vu-URL/wp-co...

Acabo de ver en YouTube el video (de hace seis meses) de Gustavo Entrala titulado IA: ¿se aproxima la mayor BURBUJA financiera de la Historia? No sólo comprende mi teoría a fondo sino que realiza un análisis excelente de las razones para sospechar una burbuja y de por qué no todavía.

Don't miss @mazzucatom.bsky.social's new book. It's out in the UK in June and in several countries soon after. It will make a difference to how you see today's turbulent world and how it could be fixed.

We can't do good in the economy without a new economic theory of what good is. Everything else follows from this. In the old economics, doing good is a correction. In an economics of the common good, it is an objective we design and work on together.

If you want to understand the troubles of British Steel and the solutions to them, read this article by @mazzucatom.bsky.social @annapick.bsky.social and AnnaHope in Substack. It makes clear both the proper role of the State and the harm done by some financialised actors

Mariana Mazzucato@mazzucatom.bsky.social · 3mo ago

The discussion on British Steel is missing the point. It is not about nationalisation versus privatisation. It is about whether the state can govern in the public interest — with direction, conditionalities, and the institutional capacity to transform a sector rather than simply keep it alive.

This was fun and timely. Dario Amodei talks about Mythos (and much else besides) as.ft.com/r/e33cbc23-6... Anthropic chief Dario Amodei: ‘I don’t want AI turned on our own people’

The ideal would be to tax fossil fuels to fund the green transition, rather than having the current chaos. But it's important to understand that without changing the relative prices of green electricity and fossil fuels the change will not happen on time to avoid irreversible climate change

Based on the framework of @carlotaperez.bsky.social, @rgmcgrath.bsky.social cleverly outlines the blind spot nobody wants to see in the current debate: the crisis at Hormuz is an opportunity; the spike in oil prices, a market signal. Worth and necessary read. shorturl.at/6B8W1.

Interesting reading as example of applying the @mazzucatom.bsky.social mission approach in the Global South

Mariana Mazzucato@mazzucatom.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Missions require a focus on outcomes, not outputs. Our new report on Mission Barbados co-authored with Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley offers insights on how Barbados is trying to design policy frameworks & governance structures to deliver long-term missions. Read the report ➡️ buff.ly/3Xk7nHB

Brilliant advice from @mazzucatom.bsky.social ! Good for Starmer and for every country. A must read!

Mariana Mazzucato@mazzucatom.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Growth itself is not a mission, but a metric divorced from genuine purpose. Peace as a mission connects domestic renewal with global responsibility – and serves as the potential engine for economic transformation. Read more in our latest for Project Syndicate ➡️ buff.ly/Jv2ZeSc

Very good interview between @amirleb.bsky.social and @carlotaperez.bsky.social on technological development, innovation, climate crisis and green technologies—linking her intellectual trajectory with today’s political economy onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

The tragedy of #Venezuela! In 1965 it was among the highest in GDP per capita and in a democracy. After the oil price rise it got even richer. With Chavez and Maduro (calling themselves socialists) it is as poor as Haiti & 1/3 of the population has emigrated!

Very interesting!!!

Today, we co-hosted the European Open Source Security Forum with @openssf.org Over the course of 3 panels, 3 presentations, a fireside chat and more, our guest speakers discussed... 🔸 The EU's changing regulatory landscape 🔸 The case for an EU sovereign tech fund 🔸 Open source & quantum security

Whether you believe #AI is a #bubble or not, what is true is that no bubble in history has ever been discussed so intensely before it crashes. People have usually believed it's up forever. I wonder if that could influence the outcome.

Well deserved Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado. It will put the spotlight on the Venezuelan tragedy with its kleptocratic and repressive dictatorship. A ray of hope for the millions of us in the diaspora.

A wonderful in depth interview w @carlotaperez.bsky.social about her life, work and what makes a revolution - enjoy!

Tomorrow I’ll be on @thetimes.com Radio discussing the state of the UK economy – and how underinvestment blocks the path to sustainable growth. Listen here tomorrow @ 13:15 BST ➡️ www.thetimes.com/radio Read our mission-oriented industrial strategy report ➡️ www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/pub...

@pkrugman.bsky.social discussed in Substack Charlie Kirk’s success in attracting young men to MAGA by claiming back the 20th century roles of men and women in the workplace and in life. Only raising the salaries in 21st century services will provide satisfactory jobs for all.

In this talk for Futuroscope 2025 (with French subtitles) I say that populism happens midway along each technological revolution. The way out are policies creating new dynamic demand. Last time it was suburbanisation; this time it's reglobalisation for a North-South win-win game. urls.fr/xo9QKg

Another example of @iipp-ucl.bsky.social and @mazzucatom.bsky.social‬ putting adademia at the service of social progress and intelligent policies... hands on!

School meals are not just a welfare policy - they can be at the centre of a strategic industrial strategy, if done right. Our new report “A Mission Oriented Approach to School Meals” shows how ambitious school meal policy can drive innovation and equity across food systems, health, jobs & climate.

The difference is enormous between ivory tower academic institutions and IIPP, which produces scientific outputs and also connects with real world problems and works with real world leaders. These are times for policy and institutional innovation, so we need more academy-government links like this.

One year on from Scotland's Industrial Strategy launch, we're hosting a workshop tomorrow with Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes and the Scottish Government. Building on our new report, we'll discuss how to move from ambitious vision to transformative implementation. www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/pub...

Good point by ‪@rainerkattel.bsky.social‬. He would agree that not just the innovation agencies but the whole bureaucratic edifice needs modernisation. In fact, the necessary return of the State is not in Trump's tariff-mad mode, but in a creative way, providing directionality and missions.

Rainer Kattel@rainerkattel.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Europe’s innovation agencies are stuck between rigid rules at the top and scattered experiments at the bottom. If they can’t become mission architects, we’ll fail on climate, digital sovereignty & even defence R&D. More in my new Social Europe piece 👉 www.socialeurope.eu/europes-inno...

@johnthornhill.bsky.social 's article interviewing me about a possible AI bubble collapse was widely read and commented and referred to in dozens of newspapers around the world. I guess financial bubbles spur information bubbles. Shame my next book is not at the publisher's yet!

John Thornhill@johnthornhill.bsky.social · 11mo ago

The most read column in the @financialtimes.com over the past month was my piece on the coming AI crash channeling the thoughts of @carlotaperez.bsky.social As always, there are some great - and varied - comments from FT readers 👀 😵‍💫 on.ft.com/45SXanu

If we want Bluesky to be a real alternative, we must be patient and persevere. This experience of being the pioneers must have been the same with Twitter in the early years. Most of us joined when it already had millions of people participating. The more active we are, the quicker Bluesky will grow.

Great idea!

A lot of people are pointing out that copyright rules are breaking under the weight of generative AI, which exploits creative labour at scale. The solution is not to erect digital walls, but to treat collective knowledge as a public good and fund it collectively.

After getting various answers from ChatGPT that obviously were based on Wikipedia, I asked it if Open AI supported Wikimedia. It found Apple, Google.org, plus individual donors like Omidyar Network did, but not OpenAI. So I asked it to prepare a call for social media. This is it. Let's use it:

‪@johnthornhill.bsky.social‬ published an article in the Financial Times wrote about a potential crash of the AI investment hype referring to my work on technological revolutions, financial bubbles and golden ages. "Brace for a crash before the golden age of AI" on.ft.com/45thsoG ·
