Is AI the next tech bubble? Even with a crash, a lot of useful AI infrastructure may remain and set the stage for future use, says Blum Center Chief Economist @delong: marketplace.org/2024/04/18/wha…
One thing that amazed me when I was a senior administrator at Berkeley (in the mid-teens) was how many of the faculty — who by any measure enjoy one of the sweetest gigs in the history of human employment — were deeply embittered and/or cynical about their jobs.
I feel like I would really excel as a tenured professor with a very low teaching load at a prestigious university. Anyone else feel this way?
Donald Trump repeatedly fell asleep during today’s trial proceedings, raising alarms about Biden’s vigor and stamina.
We didn’t have ex-presidents shamelessly selling bibles, gold sneakers, and meme stocks when Trump was in the White House.
«Ένα συναρπαστικό μείγμα ανθρώπινων ιστοριών, οικονομικών στοιχείων, ιστορικών γεγονότων...» J. Bradford DeLong: «Στον δρόμο προς την ουτοπία» #κριτική του Θανάση Αντωνίου 📚@Metaixmiobooks ✒ @delong 📋@ThanAnton1967 #diastixo #βιβλίο #book #bookreview diastixo.gr/kritikes/melet…
Nice @delong passage on an overlooked aspect of 70s-80s neoliberalism, its egalitarian aspects. Its adherents often argued that the regulatory state enhanced inequality. From export permits to minimum wages, regulation was seen as enhancing inequality and equalising unequals
Well, this is incredibly humbling. Had missed this very kind (and thought-provoking) response from @delong to my musings on what happened to the centrist right/wets braddelong.substack.com/p/briefly-note…
Theres a lot of talk about how young Biden staffers have pushed the administration left, but the more notable thing to me is that many old school centrists have genuinely been convinced by progressive arguments over the last decade or so
It’s funny thinking back to the 2020 primary when I was very concerned that Bruce Reed, who had been a terrible influence on welfare reform in the 90s, was part of Biden’s inner circle. Turns out the guy is just really into antitrust now, so glad I was wrong
The ACLU went from being one of the most respected, reasonable civic organizations in the country when I was a kid, to being totally wackadoodle crazypants today.
I thought @MattBruenig's description of this ACLU firing sounded too deranged to be true, but I checked the transcript -- the ACLU really did argue it's racist to say you're "afraid" to raise concerns with your boss, if your boss is black. nlrbedge.com/p/the-aclu-is-…
@delong I agree seeing it as a Faerie Story about the myth of the Magus / the Magister is the right way to see Dune and how it operates as Tragedy for at the core the story is about the Faustian Bargain archetype, but even more tragic for there is no outside to argue with.
what an epic line from @delong in braddelong.substack.com/p/on-frie-stor…
Read this for a more accurate understanding of Dune
On Færie-Stories—like Frank Herbert's "Dune"—Derived from Agrarian-Age Roots, by @delong open.substack.com/pub/braddelong…
These are two halves of the same island. Institutions matter.
I'm at "The Neoliberal Turn" in @delong's Slouching Towards Utopia. My issue with this chapter is that he presents no counterfactual. Pre-tax income inequality rose a lot post 70s but why wouldn't this occur if the 30 Glorious Years of Soc Dem was instead 60? No reasons given!
I predict that in a decade, a lot of people are going to be talking about the inherent weaknesses of central planning, and using China as an example of this.
Same message from Chinese leadership over last few years: The center would like you to focus on X, but don't do X too fast, not everyone should rush into X, we don't want bubbles in X, we don't want redundancies in X. Now go do X well without any of that. High quality growth!
China is trying to produce a huge amount of EVs, batteries, solar panels, steel, and semiconductors, in order to plug the massive hole left by the destruction of much of its real estate industry. This is likely to lead to a global trade war. noahpinion.blog/p/tariffs-are-…
Great read from @IrvingSwisher. People talk about AI and stuff like that as being important drivers of productivity. But what really seems to matter historically is not some trendy tech breakthrough, but rather full employment employamerica.org/blog/it-wasnt-…
