Awesome time #EconGames. The data sponsor @equibase.bsky.social gave students 24 hours to develop a data driven pitch that would attract a younger generation of horse racing fans. Our @uoflbiz.bsky.social team put together a fabulous presentation even interview college students. Super Proud of them

A challenge I think we are going to face is that people do not know what they do not know. AI can produce the correct output, but if we are unable to understand the output it may not be useful. AI building code is great for coders who know code and can tailor. No so great for non-coders.
Hello #econsky. I am still trying to find people who were on hiring committees during this economics job market for a panel at the SEA meetings in November. Please reach out if you will be at the SEA and were hiring his past year.
I would like to create a panel about the econ job market for the SEA meeting in Houston. If you are planning on going and participated on the job market as either a buyer or seller, then please send me message or respond to this thread.

Mental gymnastics meme. TOP: Regression mental gymnastics. The effect is significant...even when I adjust for...everything we have measured. BOTTOM: Causal Inference Mental Gymnastics. unmeasured confounds could explain the effect the sample might suffer from selection bias differential measurement error! SUTVA violation!
Almost done with my next lecture, so going back now to work on some new memes
RA's are usually viewed as service for us because it takes a lot more teaching than to do the task oneself. But you do hope that you are passing on some experience.
Thank you for the perspective. I agree things are complex. I am just wondering a quickly adoption will happen and if it will be more widespread or concentrated.
Real question, won't AI just multiply the resource chasm between researcher at R1's and other universities? I can't get a paid RA, much less a team of RA's. Now, it seems almost malpractice if RA's are not being taught how to use AI to make the PI 10x per RA more productive.
I have used R markdown files heavily. Include templates for assignments, CV's, papers, etc. I have not used Quatro as much and do not see an easy transfer yet. But this is due to lack of knowledge. Second, I teach using rstudio. Positron does not feel as beginner friendly.
Have you tried Positron yet? I primarily use Rstudio. I have installed positron, but haven't found a good workflow yet.
