This is a recording of a seminar on this paper the author gave via zoom: https://cassyni.com/events/MiPYGu3qzKP5MQFWNUn9Tb https://cassyni.com/events/MiPYGu3qzKP5MQFWNUn9Tb In retrospect, there seems to be a tell that when he's lying he won't look at the screen/camera: his eyes go up, left, right, anywhere but forward. What I find scary is that this practice of extemporaneous fabrication may be a well-ingrained habit at this point that isn't limited to the scientific realm of the author's life.

> his eyes go up, left, right, anywhere but forward In this case perhaps that's a tell, but there are a lot of people who don't like looking people in the eyes for other reasons, too, just so you're aware.

  Anyone who is a practiced liar will be able to look you dead in the eyes while they do it.

That's not really science though. Body language in general, and eye placement specifically is my most hated pseudoscience. I struggle to make and maintain eye contact, because bad childhood trauma. Eye contact was perceived as aggression and disrespect by the man who lived in my house, and would lead to beatings. There are a lot of us that struggle with that, for many different reasons.

Here is the original coverage by wsj, note the shody reporting and absence of independent review or opinion by anyone not affiliated by MIT. “It’s fantastic,” said Acemoglu. “I was floored,” said Autor. https://www.wsj.com/economy/will-ai-help-hurt-workers-income-productivity-5928a389 https://www.wsj.com/economy/will-ai-help-hurt-workers-income... Clearly, Lahart is a journalistic tool and charlatan, so he's @ the right place: "Justin Lahart is an economics reporter based in New York. Previously, Justin was a Heard on the Street columnist and wrote the Ahead of the Tape column."
