Four things can be true at once: 1) AI is a very powerful tool. A huge technological advance. 2) It is toxically unpopular. In a democracy, you can't ignore public opinion 3) Like many major technologies, it's dangerous and needs strict government regulation 4) It might have boom and bust cycles.

This is an important paper at @apsrjournal.bsky.social. It's not exactly surprising that racism undermines effective representation, but it is well and carefully done. Congrats to @markarianga.bsky.social, @jacobhacker.bsky.social, @maclockhart.bsky.social, and Hajnal doi.org/10.1017/S000...

Read Jack and I's APSR article! TLDR: we present theory and causal, externally valid, evidence demonstrating anti-LGBTQ+ violence provokes prosocial attitudes toward LGBTQ people, but this is a fleeting effect due to salience loss, event framing, and countervailing societal heteronormativity

We provide new theory and evidence across 3 surveys and an instrumental variables approach to show how migration motives shape immigrant integration. tinyurl.com/3expvu8e

It’s so funny to publish this stuff in the Sacramento Bee, a place that has seen more per capita housing development than any city in the state and has seen 4 straight years of nominal declines in local rents.
