Cool results that raise interesting questions about a swath of asset pricing papers. Also really like the assaying framework they use.
An academic paper has excellent empirical evidence & hypotheses that perfectly match the patterns in the data.
One catch: AI wrote the hypotheses after seeing the results.
Should this matter?

Few people even know about this; when people are asked in surveys how child mortality has changed the majority says it has stagnated or increased.
If you consider that many don't know about humanity's biggest achievement, then it's not surprising that many are so pessimistic about our future.

A year ago, I asked about how to find #econtwitter. I got three likes and zero responses. Given that everyone seems to be here now, I'll ask again. Maybe someone can enlighten me. I want to post about papers and ideas and interact with fellow academics. X is clearly no longer the place. Is it here?
main( ) { printf("hello, world"); }

Is there an #econtwitter list anyone can recommend? Thx!
