Tom Kochan, @MITSloan prof., asks if this year's labor discontent will be a momentary demonstration of militancy and bargaining power, or a sustained effort for a new, more equitable and productive social contract governing work? mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-… #LaborDay2023

Another effort to promote actions to build a new social contract. It is the "summer of labor's discontent" so I thought it was worth posting this. Let's hope all the actions underway produce sustainable results.thehill.com/opinion/civil-ri…

It’s time for a new grand bargain —a new social contract that reflects the expectations of today’s workforce and the successes businesses experienced in recent years.

Ivy-Plus colleges have preferential admissions for the rich. Economics is a massive outlier in favoring Ivy Plus undergrads in our PhD admissions - more than 1 in 6 US-born Economics PhDs have an Ivy Plus undergrad This must contribute to our socioeconomic diversity problem

Replying to @ProfDavidDeming
The first part of the paper asks “who gets in, and why”? We start with a simple fact – Ivy-Plus colleges (Ivies + Stanford, MIT, Duke, U Chicago) are more than twice as likely to admit a student with top 1% income than a middle class student with the same SAT/ACT scores 4/n

Great interview with Ziv Epstein and MIT News on our recent article published in Science on "Art and the science of generative AI" news.mit.edu/2023/generative… #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #art
If art is how we express our humanity, where does AI fit in?

If art is how we express our humanity, where does AI fit in?

Understanding shifts in creative work will help guide AI’s impact on the media ecosystem, according to MIT Media Lab researcher Ziv Epstein.

Today, many companies and institutions are not just data-driven, but data-intensive. But that doesn’t mean organizations are always using optimal models. MIT Sloan’s Rahul Mazumder is a leading expert in determining efficient algorithms. mitsha.re/C2Au50P9vk9

People in some places in the US have more long ties — ties between people without mutual contacts. This is a map from our newly published paper: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22… Why does this matter? How do people end up with these different network structures? 🧵
Fraction of long ties, measured across counties in the United States, after controlling for average degree. The adjusted (residualized) fraction of long ties across administrative units in each country is binned into 10 deciles, with lower values shown in purple and higher values shown in green. Administrative units with less than 200 Facebook users sufficiently active over the measurement period or with less than 500 individuals are shown in white.
