Arguing that the assumption that empirical measures of AI’s wage effect typically hold fixed the bundle of activities a worker is paid for at its pre-AI shape hides much of the action, from @joshgans nber.org/papers/w35211

It is often optimal to choose two contrasting experiments than more other experiments to determine entrepreneurial strategy, from @joshgans and Luca Gius nber.org/papers/w35207

I mean they could have pegged the value of an A to the price of gold to stop inflation.

Watching Colbert the mystery is why CBS allowed him to continue for a year. He is trashing them something huge on their own network.

It’s a big topic for an economics lecture: the risk that humanity’s future ends. My Giblin Lecture is on “The Economics of Human Extinction”. From AI to engineered pandemics, economics has more to say about keeping the future open. andrewleigh.com/speech_the_eco… #ausecon

Wild that an LLM autonomously disproved the unit-distance conjecture 🤯
But it’s also striking to me that, almost immediately after seeing the construction, a human mathematician was able to improve it further.

@JlibDoesEcon So it made no difference to you whether it was refereed by someone or not?

Does this paper need to be published though? I feel like needing a paper published is a uniquely human experience.

Journals have an explicit policy of not publishing AI authored work. So what will that mean here? They can't stop AI contributing to knowledge. Can they stop it being cited?

.@SoumayaKeynes perfectly pioneered the Straight Economist on the Daily Show.

@R_Thaler @alexolegimas @BenSManning No. The journal rules say we have to appropriate credit for ourselves.

This extraordinary achievement raises an obvious question: what is the role of humans who prove things for a living? In economics, can theorists just say, proof provided by AI? @alexolegimas @BenSManning

If you are a mathematician, then you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.

OpenAI@OpenAI
Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids. An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better. This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.
