I was cleaning out my inbox this morning and came across two articles that I think have macro economic implications. The first is on AI. This winter, probably because people playing with some AI graphics software, social media has been flooded with images that people have specified but AI has created. At one FB page I visit, the volume grew so large and created IP questions that the mods banned all AI created content. And if you haven’t heard of ChatGPT, just google it. Unlike at my FB group, AI isn’t going away. In the future it will be revolutionary rather than evolutionary. The question of when that happens and what the costs and benefits will be is open to discussion. This article does that.
The other article is about democracy and democratic governance. It is full of data condensed into an animated graph and an animated map.
I wonder what else is in my inbox.
