Other forces are at play: AI investment is booming, echoing the dot-com era, while China's property sector struggles and fiscal pressures mount. These dynamics create a complex, uneven recovery.

AI will have all types of effects on skilled work, some bad some perhaps good, but everyone who cares about climate disruption needs to explicitly confront that ramping data centers *in the current economic model* (with the current people in charge) will only accelerate greenhouse gas emissions.

OpenAI *really* isn't hiding its intention to power the AI boom with fossil fuels.

Investors are betting big bucks on the idea that AI will create an explosion of leisure time...e.g. it was a key part of the public rationale for the massive $55bn takeover of video games maker Electronic Arts. But are they right?? (short thread linked to my column today www.ft.com/content/4011...)

The economics Nobel highlights the degree to which technological innovation -- and the basic science that provides the understandings that drive it -- have been critical to economic growth for hundreds of years. By slashing R&D, the Trump administration is undermining the American future.

Economics Nobel celebrates researchers who showed how science and technology drive growth

Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, and Peter Howitt explained why the past 2 centuries have seen sustained economic growth rather than stagnation

Two big changes to the precarity of the AI industry in the last year: (1) more and more companies are turning to debt to finance AI capex (see Meta, xAI, Oracle), and (2) OpenAI's flurry of deals in the past month are tying major companies to the fate of this startup
