AI is the ultimate deflationary headwind. https://economics.mit.edu/sites/default/files/inline-files/Noy_Zhang_1.pdf We examine the productivity effects of a generative artificial intelligence technology—the assistive chatbot ChatGPT—in the context of mid-level professional writing tasks. In a preregistered online experiment, we assign occupation-specific, incentivized writing tasks to 444 college-educated professionals, and randomly expose half of them to ChatGPT. Our results show that ChatGPT substantially raises average productivity: time taken decreases by 0.8 SDs and output quality rises by 0.4 SDs. Inequality between workers decreases, as ChatGPT compresses the productivity distribution by benefiting low-ability workers more. ChatGPT mostly substitutes for worker effort rather than complementing worker skills, and restructures tasks towards idea-generation and editing and away from rough-drafting.- Shit I've Cooked Lately

- 2023 bank failures
Good read on the SVB and CS failures. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2023/03/fed-central-banks-created-the-current-crisis-and-are-on-course-to-making-matters-worse.html The best solution according to William Dudley (GS and Fed alum): The only remedy in all the years I have read about that might have a real impact quickly creates real skin in the game. It proposed by of all people former Goldmanite, later head of the New York Fed William Dudley. Dudley recommended putting most of executive and board bonuses in a deferred account, IIRC on a rolling five-year basis. If a bank failed, was merged as part of a regulatory intervention, or wound up getting government support, the deferred bonus pool would be liquidated first, even before shareholder equity. Skin in the game would do a lot more to curb reckless behavior than complex new rules. Of course, Dudley’s proposal landed like a lead balloon.- Sarah Huckabee Sanders is terrible at this job

Killing off the local and regional banks hurts. The non-TBTF banks have a better understanding of the communities they serve. They promote local and regional economic development and job creation at a time when the US is re-shoring for more resilient supply chains—a national priority. Non-TBTF’s diversify risk and reduce concentration in the banking industry, which make the banking system more resilient and less prone to systemic risk. And we need the non-TBTF’s for price competition in our “capitalist” economy, ostensibly for lower costs and better service.

The vc bros and their depositors (you know—the ones who say “learn to code” when they break things and people lose their jobs) weren’t bright enough to protect their deposits with insured cash sweeps—a fintech invention that has be around since the mid-2000’s. So we socialized their losses with two trillion in liquidity. The least they could do is say thank you.- "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy
I am in the middle of The Passenger and have Stella Maris cued up. I love the book and the writing. It’s not the easiest Cormac work to read and I would not suggest it to anyone new to his writing style, but it is worth the wait. I think of Blood Meridian and Suttree as his finest works. For me as a Father of three, The Road feels personal. We cast our children into a hostile world and hope we prepared them for it. To wit: “What's the bravest thing you ever did? He spat in the road a bloody phlegm. Getting up this morning, he said.”Football ... Basketball ... Baseball ... Other Sports ... Futbol ... 🤫995🤫 ... Gambling ... Movies & TV ... Music ...
