I don't have a personal stake in any of this, but as an early modern historian I just want to say it's been too long since there's been a good schism.

Increasing problem with publishing work on AI is that the publication process is much slower than working paper process, so when papers finally get full peer reviews, authors are asked to account for newer papers that are built on the paper under review! No real norms around this research ouroborous

I was surprised and disappointed to see Kahneman being so chummy, even as late as 2018.
I see that many are in there as lists of speakers and attendees at scholarly events, but with no obvious other connections (in these data at least).

Glad to share a new paper with Ivan Boldyrev and Bob Sugden, written for the 75th anniversary of the famous 1952 Paris conference on risk.
We reconstruct the rich discussions at the meeting and address the “sleeping beauty puzzle” linked to ideas presented there by Allais and Arrow.
