From Mark Zuckerberg (Meta) to Sergei Brin and Larry Page (Alphabet), the results are edifying. 🧵

Long time in the making: I’m officially starting my PhD in Economics this fall at UC Berkeley! Couldn’t be happier to stay in California, move to the other side of the Bay, and begin an exciting next chapter.

Research involves two steps: 1) doing things, and 2) figuring out what to do. (Usually in the reverse order.) AI will certainly be quite helpful for the 'doing' part. But that leaves the -- arguably harder -- 'figuring out what to do' part.
