Friday assorted links

by  Tyler Cowen

1. Down Syndrome Barbie.

2. Paul McCartney as singer.

3. Some limits of self-improving AI.

4. The battle over refrigerating butter (WSJ).  “Claire Dinhut, who goes by “Condiment Claire” on TikTok, prefers to eat salted butter cold for its thicker texture. She talked about the Danish word tandsmør, which translates to a layer of butter so thick that a bite leaves teeth marks.”

5. Cass Sunstein: Artificial Intelligence and the First Amendment.  How about bots that pay humans small amounts of crypto to “co-author” articles, so that the bots may receive additional First Amendment protections?

6. A Taiwanese recession?
