You have a new technology that makes your workers more efficient. It has 85% reliability but is cheap. Do you a) encourage your workforce to oversee the tech, massively expand their output, and pay them more? Or b) fire them all and use the tech yourself/autonomously? 10,000 word substack to follow

“Just collect more data” is one of the most common responses to uncertainty in quantitative research. But in a lot of social science, that advice is impossible—or even misleading. Our new working paper asks: when has a study reached its information limit? Check it out here: osf.io/preprints/so...
