Zucman opponents, be careful what you wish for. Your turn is coming.
Tyler Cowen:
'I am not even sure what to say at this point. We need a radical revaluation of this work, and of the associated policy arguments. More generally, this is only a single step in the story of how AI is going to revise economic science, and indeed past research more generally. As I stress in many of my recent talks, there will be significant gains and losses in status, with the losses often outweighing the gains. I see this as one of those cases.'
You can give him a fair hearing and judge his response for yourself.
Remember: AI models will be harnessed to slaughter, too, all the papers and books written to counter Zucman’s. Some will be produced using AI.
Leaving us no choice at the end but to exercise human judgment.
Hello @elonmusk and @tylercowen ,
You have just decided to publicly attack our research, six days before the vote on the California billionaire wealth tax.
Your attempt to discredit our work and that of our numerous academic colleagues is pathetic.
Let’s take a look. 🧵

US-Canada decoupling was always going to be painful; that's why it was such a bad idea for Trump to start a counterproductive trade war with Canada in the first place!

Reading posts by foreigners about Brazil, I get the impression that you're not aware of the full extent of the accusations against Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, or of the available evidence of his corruption.
So I'd like to kindly invite you to really get to know Flávio. A thread 🧵🇧🇷
Look at the disaggregated numbers (always).

I don't understand. The Fed has an $8.6 Bn budget. Why is it one or the other?
The Fed can't afford to hold a long-term strategy meeting without giving up a meeting to set monetary policy?

Very strong GDP numbers, a touch higher than expected. More later from me, for now you can read @econvitals

“NO PODEMOS ECHARLE LA CULPA A LA OPOSICIÓN”: RAMÍREZ CUÉLLAR
@aramirezcuellar, vicecoordinador de Morena en la Cámara de Diputados, reconoció que su partido debe asumir responsabilidades ante la crisis del INE tras la salida de Guadalupe Taddei.
En entrevista con @anafvega para MVS Noticias, el legislador señaló:
* La renuncia no basta: exigió investigar a fondo las presuntas irregularidades.
* Responsabilidad de Morena: afirmó que el oficialismo debe ser el primero en exigir cuentas claras.
* Posible red de complicidades: pidió revisar contratos, proveedores y nombramientos tanto en el INE como en los organismos electorales estatales.
* Sin impunidad: propuso eliminar protecciones indebidas a políticos y aplicar sanciones administrativas y penales cuando corresponda.
“Debemos ser los primeros avergonzados. No podemos culpar a la oposición. La renuncia no basta: hay que ir a fondo”.
¿Qué medidas deberían tomarse para recuperar la confianza en el INE?
To my surprise, I find this thesis plausible.

QEPD.
Murió Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas.
Para mi generación fue un hombre importante.
Encabezó la primera gran sacudida al otrora poderoso PRI y cientos de miles de jóvenes vinos en él un camino para sacar al PRI de Los Pinos.
Fui de quienes estuvimos en el Zócalo en 1988, cuando algunos querían tomar Palacio y él los contuvo: la violencia no era el camino.
Pero jamás le alcanzó para ganar la Presidencia.
Descanse en paz.
I wonder how many cameras they have in a pro baseball stadium to film a game.
Like, 20?
I can’t get over how many angles of a single play they show us.
Teaching my husband baseball vocabulary in English makes me aware of how weird some of it is: dugout, bullpen, tag up, lead off …
English has so many weird verb phrases ending in prepositions. (Why do we tag UP?)
