AI industry giants owe their existence to taxpayer-funded, open research, but many have abandoned this collaborative model. I spoke to The Atlantic about how US science and tech leadership was built on shared knowledge. When companies hoard research, innovation suffers and accountability declines.

Lol, I literally found an empty bottle of bourbon and lots of used plastic cups in the meeting room for my 1:30 session

As long as it's not a tan suit, idk what we would do if anyone ever wore a tan suit in the oval office.

Blog updated to v2 this morning.

Lots of useful developments from ASSA that, for @shirkandsteal.bsky.social @jennifercohen.bsky.social & I, show a path to meaningful participation in #ASSA2025 even if there are picket lines.

I thank @lkatz42.bsky.social & team for leading to practical solutions.

There are so many twists and turns in this fascinating story by Fara Dabhoiwala about a painting of Jamaican polymath Francis Williams, which also appears to be the only 1759 painting of Halley’s Comet. Don’t click this if you’ve got somewhere to be. (via @calebcrain.bsky.social) [lrb.co.uk]

There are many layers here, but I want to comment on one aspect of these findings for now--the editorial board representation. Some will see this and immediately think: we need to get more POC on our boards! I understand that impulse, but encourage you to think a few steps down the game tree 1/n.

Sometimes the ultra wealthy would use their employees as human shields when threatened with bombs, see the suicide bombing assassination attempt of my employers namesake, Russell Sage

This is huge. I don't have to chuck these bags in my carry luggage every trip south anymore,which had been a guarantee of enhanced security screening

Let's see if bsky has the juice.

At the southern economics association conference? Monday at 2pm, come learn about how to get funding from Russell Sage and @arnoldventures.bsky.social, with insights from grantees/reviewers @brittanystreet.bsky.social and Jamein Cunningham

New feed just dropped.

Econ conference feed displays posts with #EconConf or #AEA, #2025AEA, #AEA2025, #AEA25 & similar for APPAM, ASHE, LERA, SEA, & SOLE. Displays posts from last 7 days.

Better than different feeds for each conference, each active just 1 week a year?
