i think there are a lot of people who would find it very hard to believe that the field of economics could produce this paper. and yet! Acemoglu is like the mainstreamest and most successful economist working today. some priors could use an update. www.nber.org/papers/w35336

I’m normally on here to talk about policy, and I would love nothing more than to live in a world where that’s useful. But I don’t want to argue about top marginal tax rates while brownshirts murder people on the street. This is fucked and I’m angry and scared and I hope you are too.

This is a thought-provoking article on reverse-centaurs, why the AI show must go on (but won’t), and how strengthening sectoral bargaining (aka labour rights) is a better antidote to the malaise of creators instead of expanded copyright… www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

The Empiricism Gap in Computer Science

So far, I have argued that there is a dissonance between, on the one hand, CS’s founding myths, curricula, and self-image, and, on the other hand, the modern production of knowledge in computer scienc...

In a new blog post, I contrast two flavors of empiricism: the one practiced in the social sciences and the one practiced in ML/CS. I argue that we need both, given that CS is increasingly about "claims," and not just constructing artifacts. doomscrollingbabel.manoel.xyz/p/the-empiri...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This story requires a great deal more attention. The Trump administration is doing everything it can to get Russian gas back into Europe. This is Washington and Moscow now in full strategic alignment via a shared vision of a fossil fuel future.

Exclusive: US, Russia explore ways to restore Russian gas flows to Europe, sources say

With a frost covering Europe's energy relations with Russia, officials from Washington and Moscow have held discussions about the U.S. helping to revive Russian gas sales to the continent, eight sources familiar with the talks have told Reuters.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
