Having had Philippe Aghion as a professor, I admired his quick thinking but was surprised by his refusal to question economics’ reliance on ideas like consumer rationality or general equilibrium (and I did try!)

Every time you ask ChatGPT to proofread your email you quietly borrow from the labour of millions. In this sense, cultural production has already become a planetary co-operative. Updating its funding mechanism accordingly is necessary: it is time to socialise AI’s inputs. @faustogernone.bsky.social

AI Should Help Fund Creative Labor

Mariana Mazzucato & Fausto Gernone show how today’s innovation economy exploits the very people it relies on and propose a fairer system.

Ha-Joon Chang, writing in the FT, finds that economics courses STILL do not take the planet or the environment into account, rendering them functionally useless. An excerpt follows.

As digital platforms are increasingly leveraged to shape politics across borders, problems of sovereignty and accountability have become impossible to ignore. The debate has now shifted from from identifying the problem to working out solutions. Great chat yesterday at @iipp-ucl.bsky.social

Is the copyright controversy surrounding generative AI a step towards the long-run collectivisation of knowledge production, or will it remain a blatant manifestation of extractivism?
