Just back from Oaxaca w/ my colleagues, where I saw firsthand how #trust, #reciprocity & #socialties shape firm outcomes in group lending. Excited to dive into the data, and to return to Oaxaca!

We debate which decisions can be handed to #AI. Drawing on Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, Elad Uzan at @ox.ac.uk argues that AI will hit hard limits in abstract realms like ethics, facing truths it can’t prove or justify. Some domains must remain human turf (for now).
