The deeper I dig into the "writting-up-the-PhD-rabbit-hole", the trashier the soundtrack becomes. From Guru's Jazzmatazz in early summer to Russian Village boys at the end of it - nobody warns of of that!
Mein Kiel Report "Quo vadis, USA?" ist da (Link im naechsten Tweet). Ich bin @kiel.institute und @schularick.bsky.social sehr dankbar, dass ich mal etwas ausfuehrlicher meine Gedanken zur aktuellen politischen, gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Situation in den USA aufschreiben konnte.

We are looking forward to receiving abstracts.

If a project partner is using a copyrighted picture in some slides that lie on our project website, an obscure German law firm will find it and charge us between 500-2.000 €. Would be interesting to do that math here :D

"Tesla’s biggest asset is hyperbole. The more extreme the hyperbole, the more valuable it gets." My colleagues on how Tesla could be the most overvalued company in the world - the "shitcoin" of big tech. www.ft.com/content/9cc3...
As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

I can live with mine as well 🤣
