Ben, as usual, bravely calling things by their name in this thread. His service to the profession, to his country and to the world has been inmense. And I can say it because I was there then, in the policy side, to watch it.
RT @ben_moll: Given some of the reactions to this thread, let me remind you of some of the doomsday predictions around the time we wrote our original paper.
Our key message below is not: "everything is great in Germany". Instead it is: "those…

RT @JohnHCochrane: Whole thread is excellent. There is no "model" vs. "real world." There are only explicit vs. implicit (and usually wrong) models. Ben Moll and co have indeed made an extraordinary contribution, worth remembering in many circumstances. Substitution! https://t.co/4C9yr8Ocso

RT @David_K_Clark: So why hasn’t EU membership prevented seven EU countries from making a proportionately bigger contribution of military support to Ukraine than the UK has? Because Rees-Mogg is lying, that’s why. https://t.co/SxwNZV8Yte https://t.co/4O05PV7oSV

@TheStudyofWar; @georgewbarros do not geolocate locations where ukrainian soliders are right now!! you may be condemning them to death!

Remote tutorials work!
It is unconsciounable countries are not doing much more to mitigate covid (and other) learning loss. Here is a ramdomized multi-country control trial of a simple intervention, with clear gains. Very impressive.

RT @canokar: Tomorrow, we don’t just beat the AKP. We don’t just bring down Erdoğan.
We end the wet dreams of Islamists across the world.
From London, New York and elsewhere, they support Erdoğan’s misrule.
But they never suffer the consequences.
We’re going to beat them too. https://t.co/mdvJqg0MKW

RT @DrJimFan: AI Twitter is flooded with low-quality stuff recently. No, GPT is not “dethroned”. And thin wrapper apps are not “insane”. At all.
I feel obligated to surface some quality posts I bookmarked. Every one of them should've been promoted 10x, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Best explanation on hallucination and why, probably, we will be able to correct it.
RT @DrJimFan: How to build *TruthGPT*? I listened to a talk by the legendary @johnschulman2. It's densely packed with lots of deep insight. Key takeaways:
- Supervised finetuning (or behavior cloning) makes the model prone to hallucination, while RL mitigates it.
- NLP is far from done!

Daron is the most productive and influential economist of his generation. I strongly recommend anyone interested in economics follow him.

This is my new account, launched to coincide with mine and @baselinescene's new book #PowerAndProgress.
This is the beginning of an intellectual journey and I look forward to connecting with many of you on the broader issues at play. https://t.co/KqB9jVG7lU

Efectivamente. El año pasado, según el informe del Banco de España, las administraciones central y autonómicas promulgaron 10873 nuevas normas.

This was such an impressive and important work. Economics at its best: rigor, good execution, great communication. This team changed the debate on gas in Europe a year ago. Thanks and congratulations.

La economía española vivió un largo periodo de convergencia que duró casi medio siglo: recortamos la distancia con Europa (países zona Euro) de 32 puntos a 10.
Pero desde 2008, el proceso de ha revertido: perdemos terreno continuamente.
