How will AI reshape jobs—not just replace them? Daniel Rock, 2023 AI2050 Early Career Fellow at Wharton, studies how AI transforms individual tasks within jobs and is building a model to track those shifts. Read the Q&A: ai2050.schmidtsciences.org/community-pe...

Community Perspective - Daniel Rock - AI2050

Rock asks how, and how much, AI technology will impact the many tasks that comprise a given job — each one may be affected to different extents, changing a job in more nuanced ways than completely…

Common AI failure mode is to ask it for what you want in the end. One day that’ll be doable generally… only sometimes it works now. For now ask for code that generates what you want (where applicable). This is true for training ML models too… learn the DGP then transfer to other target/outcome.

Point is... 1. Don't trust AI to run even the most basic statistical things (yes, yes I knew that already, but then you get told you must use this stuff, and then...). 2. Don't rush to post things to social media, it creates dumb and embarrassing situations like this one.

Full automation of code is a choice, and I don’t think it’s one that’ll be made in most firms. By percentage of code written, sure, machines will dominate. but you know what’s complementary to shitloads of new code? Talented developers.

Again, I don't think it's at all obvious what AI is going to do to the economy but on my very specific hobby horse: it's darkly funny how quickly we've gone from "mobilize schools to meet the economy's unfathomable appetite for computer scientists" to "tough luck coders we have AI now".

For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today.... This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine. 🧵

I'm a current Harvard graduate student and I found out today that I had my NSF GRFP terminated without notification. I was awarded this individual research fellowship before even choosing Harvard as my graduate school

People don’t realize the reason bond ratings matter is that they’re tied to regulations and policies with margining requirements. You really don’t want the BBB- to BB+ change.

(Bloomberg) - Hong Kong’s pension fund managers have flagged the risk of potential forced selling on their Treasury holdings after a downgrade by Moody’s Ratings of US debt, according to people familiar with the matter. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

#econsky What do we know about “Artificial Intelligence, Scientific Discovery, and Product Innovation” and about MIT's investigation of this paper, which apparently led to expulsion of its author? And what should we change in response. /1

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

While I understand the sentiment, I must disagree. We are already required to do too many different things at a high level. Communicating with the public is not an easy skill and requiring that students be good at it is in some ways another barrier. Instead, make a podcast with NotebookLM!

A hot take? 1) When society invests $500K in a PhD student's education, that student should be able to speak coherently about how their work/thesis benefits society. 2) As educators, we are falling short of training them how to do that well.

I'm a little annoyed that Amazon isn't offering prime shipping right now on Hate the Game, but I also know that must mean they are out of stock and resorting to third party sellers, which is a good sign. Hate the Game is in stores so you can get it today! Thanks to everyone who has ordered so far!

Huge huge kudos to @anthropic.com for releasing this detailed overview of how students are using AI. Some pretty concerning trends here, such as students completely off-loading higher-level reasoning to LLM and mostly prompting for direct answers. www.anthropic.com/news/anthrop...
