At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

Talk about a return on investment

It's not often that a living man gets such a vivid preview of how he will be mourned.

With election markets proliferating on Polymarket, the upcoming U.S. midterms will test how platforms and the CFTC police insider trading by campaign insiders. We're pleased to have contributed analysis to this @reuters.com article by @dgillison.bsky.social. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 position, this! At Copenhagen Business School, we are hiring an associate professor (tenured position) in economic sociology/political economy. Great environment, great colleagues. I’m happy to talk to anyone interested.

We helped @investigacecz.bsky.social reveal that a Russian war criminal and a far-right politician have a company together in Czechia. Experts say the company's financials look similar to those used in money laundering schemes. www.investigace.cz/valecny-zloc...

Here is Elon Mush bragging about how he "accidentally" canceled all Ebola prevention efforts.

More opportunities for insider trading sold as innovation

ACDC sat down with @60minutes.bsky.social for last night's episode, explaining that military insiders accused of illegal profiteering on Polymarket are not isolated cases but part of a systemic problem. www.cbsnews.com/news/predict...

Young Falco was great #eurovision

Btw, if you drive an EV, not only do you not need gasoline, you also don’t need oil changes

Great to see insider trading on military event prediction markets getting the primetime treatment from @60minutes.bsky.social. Last month we revealed that 52% of long shot bets on military outcomes on Polymarket are successful, way over the platform average. acdatacollective.org/work/insider...

Very happy to have had @mollyeroberts.bsky.social present this paper on release day at EGB at CBS today. A massive study, super important and interesting work.

Great to hear this @acdatacollective.bsky.social research into insider trading on prediction markets being mentioned by @kevinroose.com and @caseynewton.bsky.social on the Hard Fork podcast from @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/p...

More than half of “long-shot” bets on military action made on Polymarket are successful, according to a new report @acdatacollective.bsky.social that suggests prediction markets could pose a bigger threat than previously recognised to the security of sensitive information.

Given the argument that ended the VRA, I think it’s time liberals did some self reflection about the now decades long obsession with partisan polarization as the problem, as opposed to authoritarianism, extremism, oligarchy, and racism

even most dictators have too much self-respect/awareness to do something like this

Not trust per se, but it has been really interesting too see how much emphasis in Danish (elementary) schools is on building community (fjællesskab)

When you ask in class about the mandatory readings

Holy sh.. The cover of Germany‘s very pro-business Manager Magazin about Minister Reiche‘s irresponsible decision to double down on gas power plants. Illustrates once more that old journalistic frames of there being such a monolithic thing as ‚the business community‘ are outdated.

Imagine what VW, Mercedes, BMW, and Porsche could have achieved if they had pushed innovation instead of continued lobbying to keep outdated technology alive

Showing the kids how it’s done

4 Dinge, die ich Woche mal wieder „gelernt“ habe: 1.) Eingriffe in den freien Markt sind Sozialismus, außer es geht um Spritpreise. 2.) Dass Menschen auf dem Land das D-Ticket mitbezahlen ist ungerecht, aber das alle den Tankrabatt für Verbrenner mitbezahlen, oberste Bürgerpflicht. 3.)...

This is happening despite all the Trump admin's actions, imagine what would be possible with continued support from the federal gov't

What a fuckn time to be alive

For years, but especially in the last few months, I have been trying hard to imagine what it will feel like seeing Orban decisively defeated. I just couldn't. And yet here we are: it is truly and well over. I have more reservations about Peter Magyar than I could say in 300 characters or a thread...

Imagine “The Emperor’s New Clothes” but with the emperor vain-posting through the whole thing

I remember a recent Wirschaftsminister who pursued and tried to explain forward looking policies with the goal of faster electrification, but alas

Dear 🇩🇪 government, it *is* in your job description to shield us from future energy crises. Not only a French thing. But 👏 to 🇫🇷

We must fight the insidious movement to make our institutions of higher learning into "institutions of dead dogmas."

Given that he effectively told the WSJ the same thing, the post seems to be real and not a hack or anything similar

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Next step: threatening to nuke Teheran probably

Die Bundesregierung wird die nicht hinreichend gefüllten Gasspeicher zukünftig mit der heißen Luft befüllen, die Merz, Söder, Reiche, Spahn & Co. täglich produzieren.

Stark contrast to the gerontocracy that is the US Congress. already visible in the campaign posters in the last four weeks, but now it’s clear “the average age in the new Folketing is 43.9. The youngest ever,” especially “young women are storming the parliament” (in Danish) www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

Kluge Regierende würden die fossile Preiskrise als Schub für die Dekarbonisierung nehmen, um so gleich mehrere Probleme zu lösen. Leider betreibt die aktuelle Bundesregierung eher aussichtslose Gegenwartsverlängerung und tut so, als könne man stets weitermachen wie bisher.

Maybe ICE can also do air traffic control

How can this go on for another 3 years?
