Reading @cblatts thread, you can get the feeling of being inside a top academic conference trying to analyze in real time Prizoghin's coup.

Following a quarter taking classes @ChicagoBooth,
journalist-in-residence @StiglerCenter @jmackin2 reflects on capitalism and the corporatization of politics. Glad "Perspectives" (which I co-taught) left a lasting impression.

RT @spignal: Incredibly prescient Vaclav Havel, speaking in 2005. Asked how "new" member states could contribute as EU members, he answers that central Europe could "educate" those who have not lived under totalitarianism, and so would be all too willing to accommodate evil. https://t.co/P2c1hu8Pkg

I cannot imagine learning about crisis from better teachers than @MarkusEconomist and @R2Rsquared . Looking forward to reading this book.

With @MarkusEconomist, 10 self-contained chapters, each introducing a macro-finance concept, and applying it to two historical crises. https://t.co/Cc6AryN9Kk

RT @AndrewYNg: I'd like to have a real conversation about whether AI is a risk for human extinction. Honestly, I don't get how AI poses this risk.
What are your thoughts? And, who do you think has a thoughtful perspective on how AI poses this risk that I should talk to? https://t.co/DG34mRObrE

A reason economists have a more skeptical view than AI industry insiders on the supposed need for regulation of AI: our default view is that when an industry seeks regulation, it is usually for the benefit of incumbents, particularly to protect them from entry.
See Stigler(1971):

Can someone find historical precedents for a dictator allowing this kind of public humiliation of his army by mercenaries? Is this a first?
RT @wartranslated: PMC Wagner detained and interrogated no other but the commander of the 72nd Brigade, Roman Venevitin. Wagner and the 72nd Brigade shared positions in Bakhmut.
They detained the man, beat him, broke his nose, and forced to record a video admitting to firing at a car of PMC… https://t.co/AoXswyjSNC https://…

This, from the Royal Aeronautical Society, is the best illustration of the allignment problem i have seen- an actual instance of the maximizing paper clips problem.
RT @ArmandDoma: The US Air Force tested an AI enabled drone that was tasked to destroy specific targets. A human operator had the power to override the drone—and so the drone decided that the human operator was an obstacle to its mission—and attacked him. 🤯 https://t.co/HUSGxnunIb
