People say financial literacy is useless, how can it be worthless to learn: how taxes really work how to protect assets through law how to build and leverage credit how to pass down wealth without penalties how to invest and build wealth In addition to many other things…

There is a field experiment showing this exact effect. Introducing GPT tutors increases performance by *a lot*--students seem to be picking up the material much faster--but when GPT is removed those who had access perform *much worse* compared to those w/o access. 1/4

I'm teaching databases this semester at Berkeley. My students all seem unusually brilliant. Not many go to office hours, and not too many folks post on the course forum asking project questions. Weirdly, the exam had the lowest recorded average in my 10 semesters teaching it.

@perplexity_ai I'm particularly excited to talk to more thought leaders in the space and spend some time thinking about how I can apply what I learn there to my work on AI-focused supply chain analytics. Other Perplexity Fellows, let's connect! 3/n

Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin. Let me tell you about my trip and why it’s important we stand with Ukraine.🧡

Hilarious story. Heritage foundation economist says on a podcast today β€œthis whole idea that tariffs can never serve a good purpose, that’s just not correct”. Josh digs up this 2021 heritage foundation article to dunk. Heritage deletes the article in 30 minutes lol.
