The Economist estimates that AI has created about 1 million US jobs so far, against roughly 200,000 AI-attributed layoffs since mid-2023. The new roles pay more. Data-center installation and maintenance ads run about 40% above comparable work. Workers with AI skills earn a wage premium of over 60% (PwC). Companies most exposed to AI grew their headcount faster than the least exposed. Aging societies are running out of workers. Median age is already over 40 in Canada and much of Europe.

This happens as long-term rates rise relative to short-term rates. Though they try to hold short rates down, long rates are climbing, a trend we are already seeing. We are also seeing a weakening dollar and movements in gold. As rates rise, it starts to affect the stock market. With bonds dropping and stocks rising, the prospective returns of stocks are now low compared to bonds, translating into broader stock market pressure. This classic dynamic creates a stagflationary environment that the Federal Reserve struggles to manage. With current stagflation, the Fed wrestles with whether to tight… interest rates Related

The gold standard in the statistical analysis of scientific data is a p-value of 0.05. Never mind what it means. It is the threshold people use to say the result did not occur by chance. There is a wide consensus. Nearly all experts treat it as the bar to statistical significance. I am quite certain that most do not know what it means or where the number comes from. Never mind that. In principle, it means that if you redo the experiment, the result should hold. At least, that's what most people hope when they hear that a result is 'statistically significant'. It often will not.

sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
