I've noticed when submitting peer reviews that some journals now have a box you have to check that pledges that you didn't use AI when doing the review. This seems dumb to me. I do use AI when I do peer reviews. I do the following: 1. Write my review as I always have, 2. Upload

A student recently asked me for academic job market advice and I pulled up a slideshow from a few years ago. I don't think I've shared it, but it might be broadly useful. I think the advice almost entirely holds up. First part is about my time on the job market 1/3

I am very sympathetic to the delays in publishing papers, but I think we need to be careful with "AI can't do this" claims when our empirical evidence pre-dates even o1 class Reasoners. The strongest model here is GPT-4 (which does better) and the next best is Llama 2 70B(!!)...
This paper shows LLM legal interpretations are unstable and often unlike what ordinary people think. Shows LLMs can look confident while missing how non-experts read legal language. The authors test many models on insurance scenarios using simple yes or no questions. Small

For all its flaws, Wikipedia is the crowning achievement of the human web An AI-assisted fork of Wikipedia could be interesting, but only if it embraced transparency, had access to scholarly work & if the AI was used to help humans in making information better, not override them
At the center of everything is Wikipedia. 🔎Wikipedia articles appear in 67%-84% of all search engine results & most info boxes 🔎Wikipedia generates 43M clicks to external websites a month 🔎Wikipedia is a major component of AI training data, including The Pile training set

Yonas Bekele is a public high school student in Ethiopia, admitted to the United World Colleges with a 90% scholarship. But the 10% left (+ registration deposit) comes out to roughly 85k RMB (roughly $12k USD). Yonas is a total stranger who emailed me, and I usually ignore such

Happy Friday everyone! I just posted what I think is an important blog post on my website. It is a critique of meta-meta-analyses: meta-analyses of meta-analyses.

Every econ referee report should include two scores out of 100: (1) Accuracy; (2) Importance. These scores should be public and should follow the papers. This would have all kinds of benefits: 1. It would reduce the incentive to submit to all 5 top five journals 🧵 1/n

Joined in on the first qualitative interview @sajedeh_rasti is doing for her PhD, interviewing scientists involved in large scale coordinated projects. Incredibly interesting. Qualitative research and talking to scientists in other disciplines is providing a wealth of information

It’s not even obvious that anyone wanted to cut PEPFAR. It’s just that “cut all aid” sounded good to a certain type. But @marcorubio can fix this. I don’t know enough about American politics to know where leverage is here, but so much is at stake in keeping PEPFAR funds flowing.
PEPFAR's funding was recently paused, despite being an amazingly cost-effective aid program. However, Marco Rubio can issue a waiver to get PEPFAR back up immediately, like he has already done for some forms of emergency food aid. Potentially worth encouraging this action.

Utterly astounding to me that it's possible to publish a paper in PNAS that shows a correlation between having a "hit paper" as a postdoc and later academic success -- and then interprets this as a signal about the impact of quality postdoc experience without even nodding to the

@daniel_dsj2110 Students complaining about something or other is not the big deal people make it out to be. I sometimes worry that some people bend over backwards to avoid hearing a student complain about something. Complaining is actually an important part of democratic culture. It's not bad in
