    I’ve been holding off in pursuit of other topics, but I think it’s about time I write a “why institutions” article

    I for one welcome the competition considering my comparative advantage as an economist has never been advanced maths

    As an economist, I’m okay with AI replacing mathematicians. What bothers me is displaced mathematicians competing for economists’ jobs in finance and academia, lowering our wages. That cannot be tolerated. I’m starting a petition to ban this unfair competition.

    A year ago I would have said that I was very concerned about rapid advances in AI capabilities and what it would mean for my research career, but it's become clearer recently that the strongest AI use cases are largely my weakest skills

    You’re deluding yourself if you think AI advances like in math aren’t coming to economics and other social sciences

    I didn’t get especially good grades in high school and didn’t go to an elite undergrad. You’ll be fine if you’re good at what you do.

    Not to cope too hard but its kind of insane that if you get a B when you’re 14 years old you basically can never have any position of prestige or authority

    Low GPA closed a lot of doors in my life. Granted I always figured it out and will continue to do so but it’s my biggest regret in life. I’m 25 and very very tired of the rat race
