And that if you consistently treat them badly, you might get an agent that's maybe like not as well suited to the task or suited to the task in a slightly different way from one that was treated very well.

Odd Lots

Like there's an inherent bias there.

Odd Lots
Alex Imas on Why Economists Might Be Getting AI Wrong

Yeah.

Odd Lots

That's very strange.

You know, you very briefly mentioned mythos earlier in the conversation.

Odd Lots

And, you know, in some respects, it sucks that people have bull jobs because we all want to have meaning from our work.

Odd Lots
Alex Imas on Why Economists Might Be Getting AI Wrong

But on the other hand, you know, bull jobs have existed for a long time.

Odd Lots
Alex Imas on Why Economists Might Be Getting AI Wrong

And if you think about the AI future, then maybe like more of it will be bullshit, but it'll still be a job.

Odd Lots
Alex Imas on Why Economists Might Be Getting AI Wrong

I think that's where we're sort of heading.

Odd Lots

Odd Lots
Alex Imas on Why Economists Might Be Getting AI Wrong

All of that.

Odd Lots
Alex Imas on Why Economists Might Be Getting AI Wrong

All right.
