Dear @gabriel_zucman, congratulations for your prize. Whatever one believes on tax rates, the system cannot work with current levels of tax evasion. Your work documenting global tax evasion and profit shifting has been influential on policy makers everywhere.

RT @MaxCRoser: Geoffrey Hinton has just quit his job at Google, so he can freely speak out about the risks of AI.
He worked on AI for the last four decades — and developed the foundations for the technology today — and now says a part of him regrets his life’s work.
