I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Statement from the largest economics association about the BLS firing As context: AEA approximately never makes such public statements This is a big deal
August 1, 2025
AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION
Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations


Statement from the American Economic Association on the
Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner

Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today.
The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day.
Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias.
The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity.
Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions.
We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure.

"We anticipate powerful, damaging spillover effects. If no one follows web links, there will be few incentives for people to create high-quality content in the first place.

Meanwhile large language models make it easy to produce low-quality content at the touch of a button. Quality human-created information may be swamped by AI-generated bullshit."

Die geplante Finanzierung der #Gasspeicherumlage aus dem #KTF (TSP Background) entspricht einer Senkung des effektiven CO2-Preises auf Gas um 16 Euro. Größte Ironie: mit Einnahmen aus CO2-Preis bzw. dem Sondervermögen (das in den KTF fließen soll) wird nun fossile Energie subventioniert.

If a human told you things that were correct 80% of the time but claimed, flat out, with absolute confidence, that they were correct 100% of the time, you would dislike them & never trust a word they say. All I'm really suggesting is for people to treat chatbots with that same distrust & antagonism.

How incentive contracts affect reciprocal gift exchange depends fundamentally on the context. The experience of incentive contracts "crowds out" effort in subsequent trust contracts. This is mostly due to lower wage offers and not a changed wage-effort relationship. 3/5
