Economics of Transformative AI Workshop, Fall 2025
A Research Agenda for the Economics of Transformative AI
(Or, once they can code, put them on economic methods and analysis. The work is the unfinished business, or problem set. Everyone else gets a management cap and jacket. The etymology of franchise followed freedom. One difference between the early sci-fi journals and now is that they thought time would proceed traditionally rather than tilt. Or maybe this is the key to the storm.)
The Gap Between AI Capabilities and Their Use in the Workplace
(AI did overlap Management Information Systems in the past. That was where utility was important as for IT. Now the proliferation of agents appears to be putting social media up to similar standards. Productivity remains difficult to measure. Each term is like a matrix, e.g. AI, productivity, scale, and it is a complex sum of emerging tech. Where does AI see daylight? What is Intelligence? Or for the post-anthro xeno types, what is Being? Common Sense? Universal Representation?)

There's a Stunning Financial Problem With AI Data Centers
(Hints that data centers will have to find a new financial model akin to reusable rockets facing continuous innovation at the same time as mission demand flow. Not unlike arms where they offload to third-party interests, foreign or domestic. Reinforcement leaning. Pan-demos. DeFi at scale. Lots of side hustles, e.g. crypto, energy, weather. Or combined, rather than relocate, launch. This kind of artifact can run with or without users once it knows the routine, as seen in the movies. Or undersea decoys for those reported interdimensional beings. Given tension between more energy or data, which way would an autonomous system head, CausalDive-wise?)

Canaries in the Coal Mine? Six Facts about the Recent Employment Effects of Artificial Intelligence
ChatGPT Nerd summary outline excerpts: The rookies are getting squeezed first. AI’s wings may be clipped for the inexperienced. AI’s impact isn’t quietly nibbling salaries—it’s knocking roles off the board entirely. When AI replaces rather than complements work, that's when the shockwaves are felt strongest. This isn’t a fluke in Silicon Valley or Zoom land—it’s a broader shift. (On the bright side, spotting the problem set allows the expert to solve it on the board: "And then a miracle occurs." Of course, the canary would be entry level in this one so, if that isn't chirping, it may have gone multimodal. See The Emotion Machine. But, just as the generative AI pioneers are trying economies that are off the screen, sort of crypto-codex, the next wave could be doing something like that on the ground in their regions. Not a disaster, but a sign of things to come, post-Capitalism. It's all been approved. Molon labe.)

Elon Musk Predicts Robots Will Unlock “Universal High Income” at Saudi Tech Event
DeepSeek and tariffs fail to undermine the AI investment boom (so far)
(Author also argues in The Washington Post that Tesla's survival depends on Musk's efforts toward Optimus -- the pro-Humanoid side versus the East. Critics cite connectionist and symbolic as insufficient so far. Where do the next breakthroughs appear, e.g. quantum, nano, bio, or is there another implicit or tacit field? Is it knowledge or intelligence at all? Does it also trigger autonomy? Is it less robotic and more bionic? Or what was the makeup of Hermes' caduceus? investors may consider it like "hedge" computing. Incidentally, Grok identifies remaining AI Proxies as behaviorist or evolutionary. Deep Search tosses in agent-based or artificial life as secondaries. And humanoids themselves may form a substrate or swarm like drones. Elsewhere miniature versions of the latter are used in pollination, so does that also apply to factories? Or extreme environment. The Friday memo types might be happy with a dashboard. Who picks the roadmap? When do goals, values, intentions, or agency signal sentience? Or life? If Mars agrees. Was morphogenesis related to AI?)

U.S. tariffs don't violate NATO treaty, says NATO's Rutte
(One reason why dialectics are significant: international, multi-ideological reasoning. Not all historical in this case, e.g. alongside technological, cultural, or relational. Can models predict outcomes if not identify causes? How can they also innovate solutions or methods, e.g. mind the gap? Compared to hallucination. Self-organization vs. central planning. Sustainability and circular economy. Cells hint at learning models, possibly quantum, that invite cybernetics for ongoing comms and feedback so programming is not taken over by natural evolution, and that may be pluralist amid seemingly incomprehensible complexity. This would be a large-scale version. Computational Buy-ology. Post-rules. Markets, parties, or governments. AGI-inside and normal anxieties. Expect nationalist companies to pick up the breaks in supply chains. Now get to call either fanatics or proxies of the future. Not all synthesis or hybrid. The internet of things will be shocked, shocked. Cyber and space still have slower-rising barriers. Climate plays no favorites, although capitalism is going to have its reputation bickered about. Emerging Tech remains unregulated, however someone eventually is often left holding the bag. Finally, there is no time.. Grok concurred that the treaty discussion initiated by Norway was deemed irrelevant to defense as interpreted under semantic analysis, more a danse diplomatique than macabre.)
