I’ve always thought it was too bad that the Game Theory Society gave ownership of GEB to Academic Press when it was founded as opposed to retaining ownership themselves. The fact that it and the JET belonged to commercial publishers the main reason we started Theoretical Economics.

Two recent revisions have shown me how much LLMs have improved over the last year- Claude and Chat have both spotted errors in these two papers that neither they nor Refine spotted last year.

Two thoughtful essays about the impact of LLMs on graduate education: ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma... economics.mit.edu/sites/defaul... From personal experience I think the self-control problem mentioned in the first essay is very real.

Is there currently a program that can determine whether a given matrix is completely positive? ChatGPT 4o can’t seem to do it even when asked to explain its reasoning.

I've been working on a new tool, Refine, to make scholars more productive. If you're interested in being among the very first to try the beta, please read on. Refine leverages the best current AI models to draw your attention to potential errors and clarity issues in research paper drafts. 1/

I somehow missed this open letter from Lech Walesa when it first came out, following the Trump-Zelensky meeting in the White House... It's worth a read. www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/co...

How can Democrats hope to build a coalition for all America when 12 states have no voice in Democratic congressional caucuses? If @housedemocrats.bsky.social can include a nonvoting representative of Virgin Isles, why not Utah & Iowa, where Dems got >million votes? home.uchicago.edu/~rmyerson/nd...

What to make of this? To me, the take-away is we need a much better understanding how the information environment maps onto people's mental representation of the decision problem. Attention/memory has a huge role to play, as they will interact with context to determine this representation. fin.
