holy shit ChatGPT is actually developing humanlike academic skills
thanks chatgpt
New golden age of economic history
With math essentially being delegated to OpenAI, here's what I predict for economics and the social sciences more generally: ✅The top tier of research will just become better and it will be normal human-led research where AI is used for scale (e.g. conducting qualitative

"While the simplification of tasks raises productivity, it also makes workers more replaceable. [...] Simplifying technical change effectively commoditizes labor, which firms can exploit to increase wage markdowns."
Technical change often simplifies work. This increases productivity, but it also makes workers more replicable or commoditized, and may therefore reduce wages, from Masao Fukui, @eminakamura2, and @JonSteinsson nber.org/papers/w35815
‘It was Arkwright who was ultimately responsible for the revolutions of 1848!’ — Habakkuk Surprised that (as far as I can tell) no-one has tried to test this claim with modern methods…
