David Roodman writes: consumers of economic research are more truth-seeking than the producers. Here is Roodman's recap of his re-analysis of a set of papers on temperature and judge decision-making. The comment process is not working that well! Gory details in 🧵 1/

I assumed this story about Cowen making an embarrassing mistake by trusting ChatGPT was in regard to his disastrous spreading of lies about USAID. But no—it’s a totally different BS claim! This time it’s about chess:

Fun fact: Chrissie Evert lost her bracelet during a match once in 1978 and stopped playing till she could find it. And that’s how the popular piece of jewelry set with diamonds or stones all around the wrist got its name: tennis bracelet. You’ve prob noticed a surge lately too.
