about the economics of AI: How it's changing our labor market, who it's going to help and hurt, how policy can help, and what each of us can do to stay relevant.

All these cross investments in the AI space… no antitrust review these days, I guess?

Also, now that they are all interconnected, imagine how quickly collapse of the AI bubble is going to spread.

To the extent to which big consulting firms don't feel threatened by AI, it's because they understand that a big part of their job is merely decision-laundering. A big organization wants to do a thing, and they need somebody to blame in case that thing goes wrong? Time to bring on a big consultant!

The entire AI boom is listed on the US stock exchange, so non-US assets (equities, real estate, bonds) are a good place to start.

Although there is now a risk that BLS statistics will be cooked, TIPS are another good alternative that might benefit from electricity prices going through the roof.

A Biblical Perspective on Economic Prediction

Why forecasts, fund managers, and faithful living rarely line up neatly Economic prediction sits at the heart of nearly every investment strategy. The idea is simple: if we can know what’s coming, we can get rich. The problem? It rarely works out that way.
