I’m not cool, I’m upright yet diplomatic, I’m too sincere for this real world. I’m logical and boring. I’m that person who will read textbooks starting chp 1 to end, cannot do selective learning nor listening. I give all in or none! I get consumed by ill-around, so I🧘‍♀️/ 🗣/ 🛌

My conversations with Meta AI (default feature) on WhatsApp. Quite evident that these platforms have highest likelihood to 'replace' rather than 'complement' human connections. In its own words: 1. Exacerbate social isolation by reducing face-to-face interactions. #aiethics #AI

2. Create unrealistic expectations and emotional dependencies on machines. 3. Undermine the authenticity and depth of human relationships. where are we headed? #responsibleai #GenerativeAI #econtwitter #AcademicTwitter @AIatMeta

The best research on India is written by the @RBI and it's called the RBI Bulletin (very similar to BOE bulletin) & it's amazing. Go to the state of the economy for charts/details on what's going on in India & then they always have essays on specific issues. Central banks are consistently the best place to get information on a particular country. I also like the RBA website as well. Enjoy! We can read some of these together in case you find it intimidating reading central bank language. rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/Bul…

🧞‍♀️random #musings: The more work you do, the more frustrated😠 you become! Especially, if the work is not❌ for yourself. If you find yourself annoyed😑 , you might want to question ❓the intent of your work. You may ask, how about people who serve others.

Bottomline: altruistic acts may not be pure altruism, it is self-serving. . . More work can also read reverse - the lesser occupied you are, the more adulterated thoughts 💭 All in all, it’s about BALANCE 🏋️‍♀️ of work for self and work for others. (Not “#WorkLifeBalance”, get it?)

A new worry for educated youth in India. Share of those with secondary & more education in total unemployed youth has jumped from 35.2% (2000) to 65.7% (2022). Shows what cronyism & the erosion of trust are doing. I’m optimistic ordinary people can see this & change is coming.

Claudia Goldin's #NobelPrize2023 for #EconomicSciences 3 highlights according to me, I could be wrong, please add more #EconTwitter #AcademicTwitter 1. I think it’s the first time gender economics as thematic topic got recognition 2. She derived historical data from archives

3. Her empirical methods got recognition but mainly the study insights/ conclusions have drawn attention. Which might have policy implications for less developed countries.

Untouchability across India (from paper by Amit Thorat & Omkar Joshi). It’s virtually gone in some states &, sadly, very prevalent in some others. One hopes the latter will learn from the former.
