German Reunification Day invites both gratitude and reflection.
Gratitude, because the peaceful revolution of 1989 was nothing short of a miracle — a bloodless dismantling of a repressive regime.
Reflection, because the wounds of the transition still mark the country —and because

The lack of spines among tech CEOs is pathetic... 🤮
Of course, the European leaders did the same to some degree, but at least this was to save Ukraine 💙💛

Yet, I am still extremely sad about IZA's main assets - the institute itself, its postdoc program, it's Berlin and Bonn campus, the guest program and the workshop series - being cancelled. It remains a big loss.

It's fantastic that the network is saved.
But IZA as an institute closing down is still a tremendous loss

Unfortunately, the "institute" itself has not found a new home. only its most tangible assets, the network and the discussion paper series, remain. Its postdoc program, the international campus in Bonn with its vibrant guest program, the workshop series, and the summer school, remain lost.

A lot of attention is rightfully on gender inequalities in the labour market and, to a lesser degree, on inequalities in unpaid work ⚖️
But men falling behind in education and the lack of debate around this is also a big societal problem. Great paper 👇

Ich hab keine Ahnung wie man das Berliner Urteil einordnen soll/muss. Ob die Bundesregierung Recht hat oder nicht. Aber die Art wie jetzt von vielen die Justiz oder einzelne Richter angegangen/delegitimiert werden, ist nicht weit von dem entfernt was gerade in den USA passiert.

I don’t know about the paper but agree with this being a *super* important open issue and the statement that worst case use is happening in schools.
It will be key to promote the willingness to learn & think (which LLMs can help with) and not laziness (which LLMs currently seem to often do).

This paper confirms my belief that figuring out how to effectively employ LLMs at scale in education is one of the most important research problems of the day (and no, the answer is not “replace teachers with AI”)
Huge potential returns, and the worst case use of AI is already happening in schools.
