RT @TimothyDSnyder: 0/10 The Nova Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine, controlled by Russia, has been destroyed. This brings humanitarian, ecological, and economic disaster to Ukrainians. Here are some guidelines for writing about this catastrophe.

I cannot imagine learning about crisis from better teachers than @MarkusEconomist and @R2Rsquared . Looking forward to reading this book.
RT @R2Rsquared: My new book is out for sale!
With @MarkusEconomist, 10 self-contained chapters, each introducing a macro-finance concept, and applying it to two historical crises. https://t.co/Cc6AryN9Kk

RT @swyx: this is a trend I'm calling "Code is all you need"
Comparing Bard vs @OpenAI ChatGPT vs @AnthropicAI Claude on Google's own reasoning/math prompts shows the stark contrast once you make your model write and eval code to answer questions. Reminds me of @amasad and @goodside's… https://t.co/Vh0xBlqpcW https://t.co/uTjeFRtfs4 https://t.co/hP2CDamEhq

@adam_tooze @ecfr Adam, credible deterrence is crucial precisely to avoid the war. Without Putin's perception that he had the Germans/Europeans in his pocket there would have been no invasion of Ukraine.

Why the AI moral panic?: a coalition of baptists and bootleggers.
Epic thread. Excellent on regulatory capture.
RT @pmarca: Why AI Will Save The World
By Marc Andreessen
The era of Artificial Intelligence is here, and boy are people freaking out.
Fortunately, I am here to bring the good news: AI will not destroy the world, and in fact may save it.

RT @pmarca: The Baptists And Bootleggers Of AI
Economists have observed a longstanding pattern in reform movements of this kind. The actors within movements like these fall into two categories – “Baptists” and “Bootleggers” – drawing on the historical example of the prohibition of alcohol… https://t.co/j1IjPaMGmO

Señora Calviño, no presente la adenda deprisa y corriendo, en campaña. Condicionará toda la agenda de inversión hasta 2026. Un retraso de dos meses no es material. Lo responsable es posponer su presentación.

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):

RT @JonSteinsson: Higher capital requirements seem like a move in the right direction. Obviously, details matter. This article quotes three people (other than Michael Barr). All essentially lobbyists for the banks. Would have been nice to hear from both sides.

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://…

Extremely useful thread #EconTwitter
RT @ben_golub: 🧵 about a use of ChatGPT with two plugins -- Wolfram and AskYourPDF -- to write a solution to a fairly challenging advanced undergraduate economics/game theory problem.
