RT by @jburnmurdoch: I cannot recommend this piece by @BrianCAlbrecht more.
I am constantly seeing the "demand for horses" graph as a metaphor for what will happen to human labor. And the answer is simply: No, you are not a horse. The human labor market does not resemble "pulling cart on wheels" in ways that make it a fundamentally different problem.
Read the whole piece, but this part in particular is important to highlight:

RT by @jburnmurdoch: "Going for Growth: Can We Make Britain Wealthy Again?" I enjoyed @matthewclifford and @amolrajan's discussion on AI, British exceptionalism, and the chance for us to return to being the richest big country in the world again. 1/2 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002vmm6

RT by @jburnmurdoch: HOW THE INTERNET CHANGED IN JUST THE LAST WEEK
In today's newsletter, I wrote about how some very straightforward roadblocks to an AI-centric internet are quickly disappearing.
This newsletter also includes a Fedlock update that shows Fed hawkishness continuing to surge.

RT by @jburnmurdoch: New newsletter: MODERN FATHERHOOD WOULD BE UNRECOGNIZABLE TO A 1950'S DAD
Compared to their Boomer parents, childcare time among Millennial dads has more than doubled.
Compared to their Silent Generation grandparents, it’s nearly quadrupled.
You will be hard-pressed to find any part of day-to-day modern life that has changed more in the last half-century than the way today’s parents—and fathers, in particular—spend their time.
The new American dad is more present and more exhausted—but also, more satisfied with life. What's behind this half-century transformation? Today's piece combines history, economic analysis, and gorgeous charts galore from @AzizSunderji

RT by @jburnmurdoch: Interesting piece in @FT that aligns with the work of our Economic Research team. AI can lower the cost of producing a good or service and demand could actually increase, creating more jobs.
