AI talent is rapidly leaving academia for industry. By 2019, 68% of AI scientists worked in firms. Top AI salaries in industry rose from $595K to $1.9M, while academic pay barely moved. Attention—and money—are reshaping where innovation happens. tinyurl.com/Akcigit-et-al-…

Això que diu @AdamPrzeworski és el que cal entendre, la crisi de les democràcies no és només política, té arrels més profundes

Are female economists treated differently than male economists in academic seminars? These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research. So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019–2023. They didn’t rely on surveys or self-reports. Instead, what they did was really cool: They had humans and LLMs code audio recordings of talks to measure: -Who interrupts -How often they interrupt -When interruptions occur -Whether interruptions are neutral or adversarial Here’s what they found: Women are interrupted more often than men—by about 10–20%. Those interruptions are more likely to: - Cut women off mid-sentence - Come from men - Be adversarial rather than clarifying in nature These gaps persist even after controlling for: -Field -Topic -Presenter seniority -Audience size Importantly, talks by women often draw larger and more diverse audiences. So pattern this isn’t about lower engagement. Bottom line: Economics seminar culture isn’t gender-neutral. In elite research settings, women face systematically different treatment that could affect their evaluation, visibility, and career trajectories.

Quin home ❤️ "We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst Here in our home they killed and roamed In the winter of ’26"

From @springsteen : I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free, Bruce Springsteen

There is little historical evidence that regime change can produce “a stable, pro-American democracy,” argue Alexander Downes and Lindsey O’Rourke. “More often, U.S. interventions installed authoritarian regimes or triggered cycles of repression and violence.” foreignaffairs.com/venezuela/regi…
