Russian disinformation on twitter is massive. We offer one of the first quantitative assessments of its effects. Results are still preliminary, and more checks will be needed. We might have to revisit these results in the main paper. But for nos, HUGE. bruegel.org/first-glance/rus…

Economics is an ecosystem and I love most or perhaps even all of it. Theorists. Empiricists. Government statisticians. Ivory tower academics. In the trenches think tankers. Investment bank economists. Government economists. Tweeters. And many more I didn't mention.

Choices of training data reflects historic biases and can inflict all sorts of harms. To ameliorate those harms, and to make informed decisions about where a model should *not* be used, we need to know what kinds of biases are built in. OpenAI's choices make this impossible.

🍅THREAD🍅 What cherry tomatoes tell you about the cost of living crisis we're all going through. Amid the wider consternation about inflation, perhaps you missed the fact that tomato prices are up 21% over the past yr - the fastest rate in over a decade. Let's explore why...

Day 28: West still buying $1B daily in Russian oil & gas, banks still not cut off SWIFT, Ukraine still does not have the weapons (jets, missiles, air defenses) it needs. The West is nowhere near close to doing all it can.

To, co robi PiS wokół ustawy o pomocy Ukrainie, nie mieści się w głowie. Przekracza wszystkie możliwe granice dobrego smaku. Niebywałe jest poczucie bezkarności tej ekipy, przekonanie, że można wszystko, że elementarna etyka nie ma już kompletnie żadnego znaczenia.

In this war everything is real: Putin’s madness and cruelty, Ukrainian victims, bombs falling on Kyiv. Only your sanctions are pretended. Those EU government’s, which blocked tough decisions (i.a. Germany, Hungary, Italy) have disgraced themselves.
