41 分钟I hope you've been enjoying these, by the way.
Oh, it's been fun.
I don't think I've ever met anyone, certainly not in his 70s,
who sustained the work output that you have in the last few months.
It's partly just, you know, what should I be doing?
It's true that there were a few periods when I kind of now regret spending quite so much time on the newsletter and less time.
Drinking apparel spritzes in the piazza when we were in Italy.
Yeah So let's go and talk about artificial intelligence,
which is a nice change This is the fourth in our series the wolf Krugman exchange I'm Martin wolf chief economics commentator at the Financial Times And I'm Paul Krugman,
professor at the City University of New York, author of an independent, sub-stack newsletter.
Today's episode is being recorded on Friday, June 20th at 10.30 in Massachusetts,
because I'm actually not in New York right now, which is 3.30 in the afternoon over in London.
And we're recording it on Friday
because next week I'm going to be in India and the only rational explanation for this I'm going to be in Delhi is that the 30 degrees centigrade plus temperatures that we're experiencing here in London will there instead I'll get a properly hot day I imagine around about 45.
Yeah well I think I'll keep busy and I am someplace which is marginally cooler.
So we decided that this week we would look at artificial intelligence partly
because it allows us not to spend a whole time talking about what's going on in the US right now.
And so we will look at artificial intelligence itself,
but also how its impact is beginning to spread through our economies and our lives,
and what its longer-term implications might possibly be.
