About

This is a blog about economic growth and poverty reduction in the developing world. As Bob Lucas said,

"The consequences for human welfare involved in questions like these are simply staggering: once one starts to think about them, it is hard to think about anything else.”

The site is maintained by Justin Sandefur, and will hopefully (eventually) feature other contributors as well. I work at Coefficient Giving, but these are my personal views, not institutional positions. The title of the blog is a joke and I have nothing to do with OpenAI. Sue me. (Actually, please don't.)
