@Yadayada07 @ettingermentum And I know you’re joking but considering you’re a self described “DemSoc” who reposts Bernie and AOC, describing our labor brokers and sisters as “cringe” and “conservative-coded” is a big part of why Trump got two terms.
English
Seriously, honestly, no joke: political science

friend’s kid asked what they should major in college i almost cried what do you even say anymore
English
@mfxmasterson @ettingermentum gosh don't tell me the only viable career paths are the trades. they're so cringe and conservative coded 😭
English
@Yadayada07 @ettingermentum Yeah that’s a tradeoff but you could say the same thing about mathematics and increasingly about English.
English
@mfxmasterson @ettingermentum econ is easily automatable? large parts of it is
English
@ettingermentum Poli sci is so broad that the major itself doesn’t necessarily always carry the same connotations. Political Econ or just Econ is the way to go. As far as social sciences at least.
English
@manlikemishap @alexolegimas on that note would you not say econ as a field has very low elasticity - hence high replaceability when AI automates all the data analysis and modelling?
English
I've been meaning to put together a little what we've learned after three years of GPTs^2 reflection piece, I think folks understood this well when we released but it's become too tempting for folks to replicate with a different rubric rather than go a step deeper.

Also: *EXPOSURE DOES NOT MEAN THREAT OF DISPLACEMENT* *EXPOSURE DOES NOT MEAN THREAT OF DISPLACEMENT* *EXPOSURE DOES NOT MEAN THREAT OF DISPLACEMENT* It can literally mean the opposite: AI exposed jobs may increase hiring and attract higher wages. It all depends on a) elasticity of consumer demand and b) number of AI exposed tasks in a job.

Economics is gradually returning to the domain of micro- and econometric theorists as large language models automate much of what we currently call applied micro. The field’s center of gravity is shifting away from manual code writing and toward deeper theoretical thinking...

Computer science is gradually returning to the domain of physicists, mathematicians, and electrical engineers as large language models automate much of what we currently call software engineering. The field’s center of gravity is shifting away from manual code writing and toward deeper theoretical thinking, mathematical insight, and systems-level reasoning.

🚨BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops wounded so far in the Iran war, Reuters reports citing two sources.
➤ The U.S. military has publicly only confirmed serious injuries to 18 service members in the conflict so far.

@twndanymore @maiamindel it isn't? idk 30 feels pretty old to me 😭
English
@maiamindel The way in which zoomers are in denial about aging includes thinking that age 30 is where you become old

@Noahpinion @tonyannett Noah is a quintessential warmongering nerd. Too many of them came out of woke wanting to be tough.
English
Has Noah ever condemned the massacre of 70,000 Gazans? Has he ever condemned the brutal apartheid regime in the West Bank, where settlers can terrorize and even murder without consequence? If so, I haven’t seen it. His moral outrage is always one-sided.
Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@Noahpinion
There are two kinds of leftists: Those who loudly and publicly cheered for the 10/7 massacre, and those who quietly and discreetly cheered for the 10/7 massacre.

@DKThomp @guypbenson So are you guys going to say visas should be cut finally?
English
I still don't think we have crystal-clear, I-will-hear-no-objections evidence of AI's effect on the macroeconomy.
And yet.
If you asked me "what would change your mind here?" I'd probably say, "emerging evidence of a productivity boom combined with a major slowdown in tech sector hiring and employment."
This week, we got both.
Joey Politano 🏳️🌈@JosephPolitano
Brutal numbers for US tech sector jobs released today—overall, employment decreased by 12k last month and is down 57k over the last year That's now nearly as bad as the worst of the 2024 tech-cession, and significantly worse than either the 2008 or 2020 recessions

@grok @RobAAAFett @DeItaone are these having an impact on israel or are they all getting intercepted
English
Iran's FARS (state media) reports fresh waves of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles & drones targeting Israeli cities (Tel Aviv, Jerusalem) + US military bases/installations across the region, incl. Jordan & Gulf states (UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain).
This is day 6 of retaliation for US/Israeli strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Khamenei & hit 1,000+ sites. Confirmed by BBC, AP, Reuters. Not ships primarily, but land bases & some infrastructure. Escalation ongoing.

🚨 *IRAN LAUNCHES WIDE-RANGING STRIKES ON US, ISRAELI TARGETS: FARS

@ColeSandick @sasquatch_god dem tea party unlike the gop tea party is not backed by big money yes? a different term should be used. it's really not comparable
English
Democratic Tea Party results tonight:
--Talarico winning
--Allam making it close
--Unknown socialist getting 40% in a TX primary
--Conservadems in NC getting the boot
--Crockett replaced by a progressive
The Democratic Tea Party is theory the same way that gravity is a theory.
Joe@electionsjoe
UHHHHHHHHHH, THE DEMOCRATIC TEA PARTY MIGHT BE REAL

@gregocentric_ if a gay person made this exact same joke it would actually be funny. this dude is some rw freak so eww

@KolakPatolik1 @mantegetyt @pchbluue I don't think you're capable of understanding the comparison i was seeking to draw about how modern morality ever since christianity is about helping the poor, need and rehabilitative justice. a fine western idea if anything. no one's demanding anything from you
English
@KolakPatolik1 @mantegetyt @pchbluue i'm good lol. I personally don't want to immigrate to europe, it's a pretty stagnant economy. and yeah, you do need cheaper labour given your slowing demographics but i don't intend on being that.
And you're Polish lol, you've mooched off the wealthier EU countries and the US😭
English
for non-EU students: your firstborn and mom's fine china
for EU students: 10€
English
@KolakPatolik1 @mantegetyt @pchbluue right it's mostly a question of your personal morality. if i said- I am physically superior to this woman hence i raped her. why should i care- you would think i'm a crazy depraved human.
do you have the empathy in you to set historical injustices right? i can't force you.
English
@Yadayada07 @mantegetyt @pchbluue Europe has not 'fed off' of all other continents for centures and wealth of Europe is product mostly of its industrial and technological superiority - which made world conquest possible in the first place.
And even if it was true - why do we care?
English
@KolakPatolik1 @mantegetyt @pchbluue I don't think that you've got to do that. I think you guys should do historical reparations directly to such nations but that's a different discussion, much like how i think the whites ought to do the same for the African community in the US or upper castes to lower ones in India
English
@Yadayada07 @mantegetyt @pchbluue 'YOU HAVE TO LET ME IN, BECAUSE YOUR COUNTRY CONQUERED MINE IN THE PAST' - no I don't. You have no power over me to demand such thing and enforce it and I care not for your historical grieviences.
English
@mantegetyt @pchbluue This is laughbly stupid. You expect me to believe that Europe went into countries and "ruled" colonies out of the goodness of their heart for 400 years?
Colonialism actively made other countries poorer to benefit certain elite in Europe even if not the state as whole
English
@Yadayada07 @pchbluue The historical facts don't support your assertion. When you look at the ledgers, colonialism (1st and 2nd wave) was very expensive for little to no gain. Europe burdens itself for centuries in an attempt to lift the rest of the world up and all we get in return is ressentiment.
English
@mantegetyt @pchbluue Europe has fed off all the other continents for centuries. The wealth you enjoy has been made of the backs of several other countries.
English
@pchbluue Europe and its peoples do not exist to feed your ego and fuel your career.
Your arrogance and entitlement is downright solipsistic.
You should be incredibly thankful the option even exists for foreigners to come and study in the EU.
English
@hamptonism This is what happens when you’re a semi target student.
You may get the internship but all the return offers go to the target students, this is London so the Oxford, Cambridge and LSE students
