Stop repeating corpo criti-hype
It’s the New York Times. I’m not claiming they’re without bias, but <biden>come on man</biden>
It’s not the paper here so much as the signers that are the problem (though the NYT is more than happy to platform the worst people)
You have an axe to grind, more like a religious tenet than an honest fact-based opinion.
Tell me, of the 16 Nobel laureates in Economics the list, who got their prizes over the last 20 years, on issues from the effects of institutions to markets, policy, dynamics, development economics, and behavioral dynamics … which exactly are the “worst people”, and why, specifically?
EDIT: make your job easier, here are their names. The scoundrels!
Daron Acemoglu
Simon Johnson
James A. Robinson
Joseph E. Stiglitz
A. Michael Spence
Eric S. Maskin
Roger B. Myerson
Paul R. Milgrom
Robert B. Wilson
Robert J. Shiller
Christopher A. Pissarides
Peter A. Diamond
Dale T. Mortensen
Abhijit Banerjee
Esther Duflo
Michael Kremer
Just to be clear: you think it’s the AI skeptics whose views are faith-like, and you give me an appeal to authority to back that up?
Your OG contribution:
I pointed out that I am posting a short simple statement backed up by hundreds of impressive people, including over a dozen Nobel Laureates.
Your response:
So I listed their names and asked for how, specifically, these are the “worst people”.
How do you come to that conclusion? Is it by virtue of the fact that they have Nobel prizes? Or because they signed the statement? If the latter, which, at least, of the 3 points do you disagree with, and why?
Are you this reflexively contrarian with everyone, or just me personally? Just curious
There is no Nobel prize in economics; the award you’re referring to was created long after Nobel’s death and has been “awarded” to many reactionaries including Milton Friedman. If someone criticized the idea that the social responsibility of corporations is to maximize profit and someone else responded by pointing to Friedman’s fake award, it would have about as much merit.
