I asked Opus and Suno to turn my article on the "China shock" narrative into a song. It's a brave new world.

Mietin pitkään kirjoitanko tänne mitään tapahtuneesta mutta ehkä tämä pitää kertoa, varoittavana esimerkkinä. Seuraa ketju vakavasta asiasta.
Kuvan reitti on viimeisin pyöräilemäni matka, reilu viikko sitten sunnuntaina.

Is GenAI causing the relative decline in early-career hiring? Our latest research finds that these effects may be conflated with another important driver: the rise of WFH arrangements (1/N)

Tein tuottolaskelman Klubiaskin kanteen. Harvalla interviolla on näin huikea tuotto.

Automating AI research is exciting! But can LLMs actually produce novel, expert-level research ideas?
After a year-long study, we obtained the first statistically significant conclusion: LLM-generated ideas are more novel than ideas written by expert human researchers.

Summary of @ottokassi’s keynote at INDL-5:
- platforms are quite bad at matching clients with freelancers (wages are distributed along a power law)
- local wages are the best determinants of platform wages (there’s no race to the bottom effect) @INDL_Official

Signs of hope? 5 months after the start of the #UkraineRussiaWar demand for digital work from Ukraine has recovered. BUT Russian demand - perhaps due to ongoing sanctions - did not return to pre-war levels, as data from our onlinelabourobservatory.org show. #opensource #gigwork

ALT Here, we compare the demand for online mediated work between Ukraine, Russia, and the UK. Values are indexed in the first week of 2021 for comparison. A clear decline in the demand for online mediated work is visible since the start of the Russian invasion (and sanctions) in February 2022. Since then demand from Ukraine has started to recover towards summer, now reaching levels of pre-war times again. This does not fully apply to demand from Russia, which dropped after the start of the invasion and remains at pre-war levels, likely due to ongoing sanctions.
