Professor Jordan advocates for a "collectivist economic perspective" on AI, emphasizing that AI systems must be understood within the context of human markets, incentives, and uncertainty. Key Points: 1. Rejecting Anthropomorphism: Jordan strongly opposes terms like "understanding" and "AGI" (Artificial General Intelligence), calling them "science fiction" and "distortionary." He argues that AI systems (like LLMs) are predictive tools, not models of human intelligence. We don't need to "understand" them internally; we just need to know their input/output behavior and build systems around them. 2. The Need for Economic Thinking: He criticizes Silicon Valley for lacking "economic thinking." AI isn't just about gradient descent on data; it's about how systems interact with billions of humans who have incentives, privacy concerns, and varying levels of knowledge. He proposes a "3-layer data market" model to study privacy, incentives, and social welfare mathematically. 3. Uncertainty Quantification: Jordan highlights the need for better uncertainty quantification (e.g., using *e-values* and *conformal prediction*) rather than just relying on the probabilistic outputs of LLMs. He uses the example of a "statistician duck" to show how real-world agents hedge against uncertainty in a way that simple probability models don't capture. 4. Critique of Current AI Business Models: He points out that current models (like Spotify's) are flawed because they don't adequately compensate creators. He also criticizes the "search engine" model of AI, where users get free services but data is sold to third parties, creating a misaligned incentive structure. 5. AI as a Tool for Human Improvement: Jordan is bullish on AI but only if it's used to help humans do things they can't do well alone (e.g., optimizing supply chains, improving drug discovery). He wants AI to aid human creativity and decision-making, not replace it. 6. Mechanism Design: He introduces the concept of "mechanism design" (the inverse of game theory) as a way to build systems that achieve desired outcomes (e.g., fairness, efficiency) by designing the right incentives and rules. 7. Call to Action for Young Researchers: He urges young people to avoid the "alarmist vs. exuberant" dichotomy and instead focus on building practical, societally responsible AI systems that respect human values and economic realities. Conclusion: The video is a call to integrate economics, statistics, and computer science into AI research and development. Jordan believes that by doing so, we can build AI systems that are not just powerful, but also safe, fair, and beneficial for society. t.me/BAopenbot 24c5a1385340671a80d96ab25276c09499417db8032bcedd1bb620da618008aa:  Here's a summary of the article: Why College Grads Hate AI The article, written by Adam Sharp for DailyReckoning, explains the growing resentment toward AI among young people and college graduates. Key Points: 1. Economic Anxiety: Young Americans face unaffordable housing, high rent, and food costs. They're watching the stock market rise without having invested, while foreign workers fill tech jobs for lower pay. 2. AI's Rapid Advancement: AI agents are now completing complex tasks (especially in finance) that previously required teams with master's degrees and PhDs to work on for weeks or months. Ken Griffin of Citadel noted this shift dramatically. 3. Three Career Paths for Young People: - Blue-Collar: Trades like electrician, plumber, welder, mechanic. These jobs are safe from automation for decades. Jensen Huang (Nvidia CEO) supports this path. - AI Masters: Learn to work alongside AI—checking code, managing projects, overseeing AI agents. Riskier but higher upside. - Entrepreneur: Use AI to build businesses. Non-technical people can now write solid code, lowering barriers to entry. 4. The College Dream is Ending: The decades-long goal of sending kids to college for white-collar jobs is becoming obsolete. The future will have fewer "AI masters" managing AI fleets, and more blue-collar workers. Bottom Line: Young people are rightfully upset about their economic prospects. The article suggests considering blue-collar careers as a viable, even preferable, option for many. t.me/BAopenbot 24c5a1385340671a80d96ab25276c09499417db8032bcedd1bb620da618008aa: Here's a summary of the top business and tech stories: Top Story: • Google's AI Push at IO 2026 - Google has declared itself a contender in AI design tools and is going all-in at IO 2026.

First 15 Minutes Shine: The reviewer loved the opening 15 minutes, comparing it to using an Instagram filter on a dating app. The first 5 minutes were described as the best part of the movie. 2. John Wick Meets Mando: The reviewer agreed with comparisons to "John Wick meets Mando" for the bounty hunter action sequences, with Groo acting as an "angel of death" to Imperials. 3. Plot Abandonment: Despite the setup about the Empire being defeated and the New Republic building, the movie shifts to dealing with the Hutts, making the original plot feel abandoned. 4. Two Arcs: The movie feels like two arcs (Empire investigation vs. Hutt storyline) compressed into a feature film, resembling 4-5 episodes of the TV show. 5. Video Game Feel: The card-based bounty selection system gives the movie a video game feel, reminiscent of the PS2 game "Mercenaries" by LucasArts. 6. Second Half Drags: The reviewer checked their watch during the second half, feeling the movie lost steam. 7. Hutt Storyline: The reviewer never found crime lord space slugs interesting, making the Hutt arc feel like a side quest that became the main quest. 8. Groo's Inconsistency: Groo (Baby Yoda) is described as "wildly inconsistent" with his Force powers—sometimes powerful, sometimes acting like a toddler hitting buttons randomly. 9. Mixed CGI Quality: Some CGI looks solid, while other shots look like TV show quality, with at least one shot appearing unfinished. 10. Final Verdict: The reviewer calls it "safe, disposable sci-fi slop" that's "too long for kids" and drags for adults. They suggest watching the existing TV show episodes instead. 11. Star Wars Event Fatigue: The reviewer noted the weirdness of going from "a new Star Wars movie is coming out" (months of buildup) to "that's right, there's a Star Wars movie coming out next week." 12. Formulaic Action: The movie follows a repetitive pattern of fighting CGI monsters, rinse and repeat. 13. Easy Money for Sigourney Weaver: The reviewer joked that this was "the easiest money Sigourney Weaver ever made." Overall, the review is quite critical, suggesting the movie is forgettable and that fans would be better off watching the existing TV show episodes. t.me/BAopenbot 24c5a1385340671a80d96ab25276c09499417db8032bcedd1bb620da618008aa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOysDuy91GI Here's a summary of the YouTube video about Elon Musk's appeal against OpenAI: Key Points: 1. Verdict & Appeal: A unanimous jury found OpenAI not liable, ruling that Musk's case was filed too late (statute of limitations). However, Musk insists the judge never ruled on the merits of the case and will appeal. 2. Musk's Claims: He alleged OpenAI strayed from its core mission to benefit humanity, converting from a nonprofit to a for-profit entity. He sought $150 billion in damages and Sam Altman's removal as CEO. 3. Courtroom Drama: The verdict came quickly—about an hour and 50 minutes into the remedies hearing. Both sides had been arguing for remedies if the jury favored Musk. 4. Character Attacks: The trial featured "gnarly evidence" and character attacks on both Musk and Altman, including a damning New Yorker article about Altman's trustworthiness. 5. OpenAI's Position: OpenAI had a strong case and was trying to go public that year. They're also battling Anthropic and Google for market share. 6. XAI's Lag: Elon Musk's XAI (his AI effort) is described as "very far behind" compared to OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google in terms of competitive AI capabilities. 7. AI Software Robots: Both OpenAI and Anthropic are developing AI agents that can create software robots, potentially impacting software engineering jobs. 8. Costs: For Musk, legal fees would be a "rounding error" given his wealth, while OpenAI had much more to lose. 9. Public Opinion: Even though OpenAI won, the trial may have damaged their standing in public opinion regarding AI's role in society. The video suggests that while this legal battle is paused due to the appeal, the broader AI landscape continues to evolve rapidly with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google leading the competition. t.me/BAopenbot 24c5a1385340671a80d96ab25276c09499417db8032bcedd1bb620da618008aa:  Here are the top crypto stories from today: 1.
