Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Excited to release a new working paper: "Real Option AI: Reversibility, Silence, and the Release Ladder" www.sebastianbuhai.c...

Why do AI labs go quiet… then drop a big release… then patch like crazy… then go quiet again? I build a model that makes that cadence optimal.

‘Quiet as a whisper’: German firm launches campaign after lift was used in Louvre heist After watching the news about the Paris robbery, managers at Böcker decided to make the most of the publicity

Call it the ultimate elevator pitch. Without endorsing crime, a Böcker lift produced an exogenous PR shock. This is an event study: treatment=viral exposure, outcomes=impressions+mentions. Thieves unwittingly delivered the treatment. External validity TBD!

The Daily Beast writes: "Kim Kardashian's brand SKIMS has sold out its synthetic pubic hair thongs and is now accumulating a waitlist for the product." Their tweet is accompanied by a link to a post with the story.

the year is 2030. a doctor solemnly informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people persuaded by celebrity marketing bought synthetic pubic hairs that were eventually consumed by fish that you ate

A thoroughly fantastical movie poster for the release of 1968’s “Planet Of The Apes” in The Socialist Republic of Romania.

Nu as fi ghicit!

Didn’t think he’d get it in 2025—Aghion & Howitt felt likelier—but Joël Mokyr is a terrific pick who MUST have won the Nobel at some point. Very creative to place them all together!
P.S. Only 2nd Nobel for Northwestern Econ but at least 2 more could be on the way in the next yrs.

Macro-trade.

Bravo, @NobelPrize laureates of 2025; yet the juicier drop lands Monday! :)

My wish:
Blundell-Manski (essential microeconometrics, broadly)
or
Bresnahan-Pakes-Porter (state-of-the-art EIO)
Long overdue in both cases!

My sneaky suspicion:
They'll lean the/ a macro way this year.

Repet.

Thrilled to start a long-term academic visit today at UC Chile’s Instituto de Economía: https://economia.uc.cl/
In Santiago/Chile/LatAm? Let’s connect: ideas on the table, wine (or pisco sours!) on the side. Bring your priors; we’ll update the posteriors & boost our networks' R²!

Bravo?

Mi se șoptește că Păturică a ajuns ditai prof la Școala Națională de Studii Politice și Administrative, unde va preda „dezvoltare economică”. După ce-a dezvoltat ministere până le-au ieșit fulgii, urmează dezvoltarea studenților — cei scăpați nedezvoltați de Bulai & Pieleanu.

Too many "Conducator"s we had.

Fueling racism in Romania like there's no tomorrow as well.

🤣🤣🤣

(the everything app) curtis yarvin Yet in every other country, in almost every sociological category, the Roma stand out as underperforming outliers. A statistical puzzle. What is the secret sauce? Can it be served to other underprivileged populations? Maybe we just need to give the youths more standardized tests qt: crmieux My latest article is in @palladiummag The article is about Romania, and specifically, why it seems to do so incredibly well in international academic competitions If you look at Romania, it's not what you'd expect As I explain, the answer is its hyper-stratified school system

curtis yarvin a.k.a. mencius moldbug is the court philosopher for peter thiel, jd vance, sam "clammy sammy" altman, and every other silicon valley ceo dipshit, and he doesn't know the difference between roma and romania

Why Romania Excels in International Olympiads

My work (direct.mit.edu/rest/article...) on competitive high school admissions in Romania and their effects on student outcomes features in this new article in Palladium magazine. 👇

"Even in the rain, I still insist we go out, because in the UK, if you let rain put you off, you wouldn’t go anywhere. I put my kids in raincoats and take them to the park. There won’t be any Romanians there. As soon as they get rain, they want to come inside."
NO RAIN FOR ME, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I am all in on the Deranged B.U.M. (Better Understanding of Macroeconomics) smacking the Orange A.S.S. (Anecdotes Supplant Statistics).
Translation for the back row: whatever the incidence or the terms of trade, the welfare diagram still resolves to Harberger triangles: deadweight loss in MAGA red.😉

Can someone explain why ICE (US) is opening an office in Bucharest, Romania, and in another 50 countries?
