Could anyone who teaches a PhD level management seminar (I’m thinking core theoretical frameworks) in a business school share their syllabus with me?

Asked my teenage babysitter who just started vet school to ID a tick. Without blinking, he took a photo and uploaded it to ChatGPT.

The Youths are using AI with the same reflex my generation had for googling or watching youtube tutorials.

There are about 100 dynamic constraints that need to be satisfied for my newborn to sleep.

If this is representative, I do not see how the human race is still alive

Lots of people dunk on this, but replace dolls with medical equipment or any number of food items and it's less funny.

Trump has perfected the art of Pareto Worsening, a change in allocation making at least one person worse off without making a single person better off.

Trade war, Medicaid cuts, science cuts, there are no winners here, only losers.

TLDR: AI caused a lot more job posts, but no more jobs!

While the intervention did save employers time, the welfare loss to jobseekers from time wasted on applications is 6x the size of the welfare gain to employers. Suggests widespread use of LLMs can harm market efficiency.

After the experiment, the market rolled out the tool to 95% of new employers. A difference in difference analysis suggests results hold or get worse as more of market is exposed to AI.

Here, you can see that in the control group, job posts where the employer spent almost no time writing receive fewer applications. However, in the treatment group, job posts where employers spent 0-2 minutes writing the job post get *more applications*!

The AI appeared to dilute signals of employer seriousness: here we show that in the control group, the time an employer spent writing a job post is correlated with how long the job post is. In the treatment group, this relationship is much weaker.
