P Aghion, @abergeaud.bsky.social , S Bunel, and A Roulet argue that there is no reason to expect that the net effect of AI on employment will be negative. However, as the direction of AI is yet unknown, they push for European-level "labour-enhancing" industrial policy. cepr.org/publications...

Before 1960, college paid off the same for rich and poor kids––now it doesn't. When Zachary Bleemer went looking for why, the answer wasn't what he expected. He breaks down three things that have changed on this week's Inequality Podcast. Listen here: bit.ly/3V609XY

Jag upplever mer och mer att jag saknar ord för att beskriva politiken. Man måste gå tillbaks till det Peloponnesiska kriget för att finna makthavare med samma kombination av arrogans och inkompetens.

tl;dr: NIH is running at about 60% of pre-Trump levels and NSF is running at about 20% of pre-Trump levels of funding-outlays (some directorates far below even that). Utterly catastrophic. An unforced disaster for U.S. society, and the world

Where was this before? Our #NIH / CDC director now urges Americans to get vaccinated. 1. In 2026 we have ~1153 cases, more than half of 2025's (2279) totals. 2. South Carolina is the epicenter; w/ 990 cases alone. 3. Of those, 923 (93%) were unvaccinated. 🧪 www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/bhat...

One of the worst outcomes of grade inflation is that it discourages students pushing themselves. College should be about taking a class that's a bit too hard for you, or in a field you don't know much about... but the risk of a B when so many get straight As is real. Safer to stick to what you know.
