A good ‘primer’ to the disastrous and debunked (2008) #NeoClassical (#NeoLiberal ) economic theory. Contemporary #economists have known nothing else for their entire professional career it would seem. They also have a cooky-cutter rejoinder: “what other system would you have replace the current one?” Which, apparently, no one knows.and if someone does they are quickly drowned out in a sea of mis/disinformation from #Corporate #msm

My guess is that it will take a catastrophic global economic meltdown to bring that house of cards down.

Generative AI is advancing so rapidly and unpredictably that governing it will require urgent collaboration across disciplines rather than leaving decisions to technologists or economists alone. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/03/16/world/those-who-dont-understand-ai/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #artificialintelligence #ai #globaleconomy #economists

Those who most need to understand AI don’t get it

Too often, discussions about AI are overly specialized or siloed between technologists, economists and other disciplines
