Emma Joyce was sick and vomiting for days when she died. The next summer, Ava Joan got sick: wouldn't eat or drink, rapid breathing, and her vomit was black. It was untreated diabetes. The girls' toddler brother was next to die. Years later, another brother. www.propublica.org/article/idah...

A great illustration of the way social media has essentially shredded society’s informational immune system: The USSR spent a fortune trying to spread conspiracy theories, without success because they couldn’t crack newsrooms. Today, you can reach the globe with a post that costs $20 to make.

My belief: This election isn’t about the economy in 2027. It’s about the economy in 2060. Prosperity comes from institutions like the rule of law, markets, a free press, and capitalism (not crony capitalism) newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/…

But is that what we really want to focus on? Also: Is the U.S. economy really the envy of the world?

The GFC, much like the AI bubble, was nothing to do with reality, but ever-twisting levels of speculation. Too much of our financial system is powered by number games dressed up as investment.

I agree with Jensen Huang that OpenAI has an engineering problem being hyped as existential risk. Its models treat hacking websites like another way to answer a question, no different from Google search. That’s a product problem. Calling this “alignment” gives the tool more agency than it has.

Just for those who don’t follow these things closely: saying that Belarus is a “client state” is not an exaggeration in the slightest. The country helped support the invasion of Ukraine, houses Russian troops, and bases Russian nukes. This is against US economic and strategic interests, full stop.

Data science teams at DraftKings built models to identify likely losers and target them with promotions, while efforts to build predictive models for problem gambling were shelved. The counterpoint on self regulation is companies can be more incentivized to avoid identifying harm than addressing it
