“This recent dump of papers on Tuesday destroyed the careers of early-career mathematicians. We've had whole research programs wiped out on Tuesday by their dump … they have all the mathematicians research programs in their training data” - Tristan Buckmaster on OpenAI solving unsolved math problems

Finally a proper working paper for this study that produced one of the most astounding figures I've ever seen. Basically economics is different from every other field, empirically. This paper looks at the concentration of university affiliations for award winners. www.nber.org/papers/w35875

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning: “Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer." [applause] 🙏🏼

So fun to kick off the Advances in Field Experiments Conference- keynote Josh Angrist

1. Earlier today, AI researcher Jacob Coxon, who spent the past three years working at OpenAI and Anthropic, publicly resigned from Anthropic, warning that both companies are racing toward superintelligence and “gambling with our lives.”

The 40-hour work week. The weekend itself. Lifesaving safety standards. Organized labor has changed our country for the better. This Labor Day, we recognize the achievements of our unions and the workers who make the American way of life possible.

"A world where there is no N.S.F. funding for social science, but where the A.I. industry funds research... will skew public debate. To navigate the shock waves of A.I., we must restore social science research as an enterprise that starts from the public interest." www.nytimes.com/2026/09/06/o...

Opinion | We Can’t Know Our A.I. Future if We Don’t Study It

Just as A.I. is poised to change the world, we’re losing our best ways of studying what that change will look like.

A much-needed break from anything serious. 🥰

I know the AEA is trying to create diversity on a number of lines (gender, race), but I think everyone nominated this year works at University with a PhD granting department. I don't feel like there is diversity of institutions @aeainformation.bsky.social www.aeaweb.org/about-aea/le...

American Statistical Association History of Statistics @hos-asa.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Few statisticians know that Frank Yates, pioneer of experimental design, is responsible for the annoying practice of indicating 3 tiers of statistical significance by stars (*p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001). He soon regretted it and “vehemently opposed its unthinking use”. And here we are.

Gov. Mike DeWine on the Mullin v. Doe: "It's not in the U.S. interest, certainly not in Ohio's interest, to have people who are working every single day, who are supporting a family, who are buying houses, fixing up old houses, starting businesses — and yank them out…That is a huge, huge mistake."
