I have some space opening up in my schedule for game development consulting, and/or writing funny words. If your project could do with someone who knows what they're talking about sticking their oar in, or good dialogue drop me a line. I'm good at this sort of thing: dan at size five games dot com

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

Sure, and why not also monetize it by charging people to take part - controlling killer robots with guns through their Xbox, or going all in and combining it with bring-your-children-to-work day, let them get their first kill in early, we can't be far from The Running Man now, yay 'merica, etc... 😒

That the sycophancy machines can create (or maybe largely steal) an entire, well featured Unity / Godot type game engine from a prompt and a very rough design spec, including playable example projects, is - quite frankly - bonkers 🤷‍♂️ #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_uf...

NEW from me: Over the last 4 years, America has lost more than 200k jobs in creative fields like publishing, film, TV, or graphic design. It's the worst stretch for arts jobs outside of recessions. How much is AI to blame? And can the arts' business model survive?🧵 www.apricitas.io/p/ai-and-the...

The US tech sector continues bleeding jobs in official data released today—overall, employment decreased by 17k last month and is down 69k over the last year That's nearly as bad as the worst of the 2024 tech-cession, and much worse than the 2022 boom or even pre-2020 norms

Nowadays really feels like mom's old history study books about kings & peasants, where kings would do the most greedy evil stuff and peasants would just take it until they didn't & they'd murder the king. But our kings run Twitter or Facebook or something so they can analyse when we fart wrong.

Arguing about the triple lock seems pointless when the state pension is half the minimum wage and we will soon have to implement some form of tiered / means-tested basic income. Incidentally, the solution to our #climate & #energy problems can also be used to fund #UBI bsky.app/profile/over...

Further evidence of cold fusion's "institutional suppression" has surfaced. Edward Teller (father of H-bomb) & Julian Schwinger told Paul Werbos at the NSF to bury it, fearing transmutation products being weaponised. Industry got there anyway. The cat is out. #science www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWD1...
