I think one of the reasons why we people of 'centrist' ideology don't want to use the term 'political economy' is because we deeply believe in the ideology of algorithms and calculations.
By transcending finite structure and by living out, through love and cooperation, the implications of our incompleteness, we open ourselves both to other people and to the world
"People used to complain that government bureaucracy was monolithic, inefficient, and unaccountable. Today we have a strange network of bureaucrats, agencies, and private sector providers that is fragmented, dysfunctional — and unaccountable."
📚 This is exactly the kind of documentation the industry needs more of – practical, detailed, and immediately applicable.
Very good 2024 end of year synthesis article by Arvind Narayanam and Sayash Kapoor
This idea enables nations, local communities, and various forms of governance to evolve, blossom, discover, and reinvent their own institutional structures - rejecting any 'ideal universal blueprint.'

A high-energy democracy needs that courage and spirit. You own your LinkedIn account - use it to transcend yourself, don't let it belittle you!
The deer and alligators (industry workers) have no means of defense, because they’ve never encountered this species/technology before. The result is an atmosphere of anxiety and fear. These emotions are common sense
At every level the greatest obstacle to transforming the world is that we lack the clarity and imagination to conceive that it could be different
AI will accelerate inequality in our society, both between businesses and between individuals - or in the end, it will be just another tool that makes us all run faster, but we'll still all be in it together, so what have we gained?
🧐 Europe is now approaching 20 years of roughly zero growth in many of its major economies....And we have not even seen the effect of the transition to EV's and the impact on the European car industry inn the GDP data.......
Success lies in valuing the builders - those who create tangible solutions - rather than just focusing on advice, consulting others and regulations.
The USA has emerged as the world's largest supplier of oil and gas, which I believe creates an enormous competitive advantage.
Philips supplied the original chip manufacturing technology and know-how to TSMC
There is so much to gain in our society embracing fully the transition and mix that with what automation and AI can bring.Unfortunately we have a hard time to let go of X....and imagine the unimaginable that is happening right there in front of us in South-East-Asia 🥲
Some of China’s smaller provincial capitals are becoming globally significant, also ranking among the Nature Index top 20:
LLMs’ impact is going to be most profound in the routine applications of culture:The routine writing that holds organizations together and communicates their objectives to their employees and the world. The output of LLMs will likely replace much of this literature, and do a better job than it can do in helping coordinate activities.
Europe is muddling through, but we’ll get there:A circular ecosystem powered by solar, wind, diverse energy storage, and a smart grid.Transforming decades of oil and gas dependence takes time. The system’s inertia and the weight of the past linger heavy on us.What matters is daring to experiment—rethinking institutions and even our values. Ambiguity, contradictions, and setbacks are part of the journey.
🚀 Pricing Generative AI: A Race to the Bottom? Generative AI is evolving at a dizzying pace, with many companies aiming for a “winner takes it all” spot. But is this approach sustainable?
Double down on creating interconnected localized ecosystems that focus on human dignity through work and local value creation
"The key skill to develop in order to take advantage of LLMs is being able to find useful ways to apply a fundamentally unreliable technology". In full agreement with Simon and only via active experimentation will you learn this skill.

If the smart investors invest and move their successful companies to USA , why should I invest in Europe?
The Maastricht-EU solved a specific problem (how to deindustrialise continental Europe peacefully, given strong unions + divided Germany) with a specific approach (single market inoculated against politics)Draghi's report identifies three new problems: innovation, coordination (esp. between decarbonisation & growth) and security
I don't have a nice insightful story to tell yet, but I think it will roughly be about what it means to be happy, knowledgeable working humans in a flourishing society and what role resilience and friction play in sustaining this.
I'm doing research on future of work in a world of AI and Automation: I don't have a nice insightful story to tell yet, but I think it will roughly be about what it means to be happy, knowledgeable working humans in a flourishing society and what role resilience and friction play in sustaining this. 🌱💪

Most of what we do is faster horses. AI is faster horses (we do the same faster). Email is faster horses (we communicate more, but not better). Who creates slower, but better horses? Do we always need a horse? Where is the space and time for originality in a world of efficiency? Following our current path—with 40+ hour workweeks, declining job satisfaction—could trap us in longer, less fulfilling careers as pension systems strain under aging populations. Yet we have a choice. By letting go of outdated work norms and embracing new ways to measure success, we can use our unprecedented technological capabilities to create meaningful work for all. The tools for positive change are already in our hands. The real question is whether we'll use them to enhance human potential rather than simply maximize efficiency. Creating ‘more and faster horses’
"Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures in large language models trade reasoning power for memory efficiency." Adding more “experts” may help recall information, but it doesn’t necessarily improve genuine understanding.
💡 Overall first impression: You really have to know the details to spot the few ‘mistakes’ , but impressive I must say.
💡 Insights emerge as part of a discovery process. When learning something new, you are still very much a junior, trying to structure your thoughts in an essay: “Leave us alone and we’ll all make you rich” Yes, needs rework, but you have to start somewhere.
