#Signaling in the Age of AI: Evidence from Cover Letters https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:arx:papers:2509.25054&r=&r=lma
"While #AI tools allow freelancers to produce more polished and tailored applications with less effort, our findings suggest that they fundamentally reshape how employers interpret cover letters. The widespread adoption of AI-assisted writing diminishes the informational value of cover letters, weakening their role as a hiring signal.

Workers with weaker pre-AI writing skills saw larger improvements in cover letters, indicating that AI substitutes for workers’ own skills. Although only a minority of applications used the tool, the overall correlation between cover letter tailoring and callbacks fell by 51%, implying that cover letters became less informative signals of worker ability in the age of AI."

Labor Market Signals: The Role of Large Language Models https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:tiu:tiucen:a808b376-b6ae-4b5f-8a35-57fe320619eb&r=&r=ain
"… Access to LLMs improves the quality of cover letters by more than 0.2 standard deviations, as evaluated by recruiters
… effects are stronger for lower-quality applicants, thus reducing the dispersion in quality of the cover letters, hence reducing their value as a signal of the applicant’s true ability
… the LLM-induced improvements in the cover letter do not increase the job-seeker’s likelihood to get invited to an interview
… there is substantial heterogeneity: while the evaluation of low and medium-quality cover letters do not differ, recruiters evaluate high-quality cover letters written without #LLM assistance more highly and are more likely to invite the applicant to the next stage of the recruitment process.
… LLM usage consistently reduces overall welfare by distorting labor market #matching: lower-ability applicants appear more skilled than they are, placing them in roles demanding higher qualifications, while genuinely high-quality applicants become mismatched into positions for which they are overqualified"

"… in the unique equilibrium in our setting, a profit-seeking monopolist school offers an uninformative #signaling technology, generating the same signal regardless of effort, and capture all the surplus in terms of fees. In this case, the separating equilibrium envisaged in #Spence (1973) vanishes, and no wasteful effort is exerted! Competition among schools affects both the total surplus produced and its distribution: competition in fees allows students to retain a higher share of the total surplus … competition to attract high types induces schools to offer more informative monitoring policies, incentivizing higher levels of wasteful effort.

… one equilibrium outcome stands out for its robustness: full separation, yielding the Riley outcome—low-type students exert no effort and high-type students exert the lowest effort that low-types are unwilling to emulate. Thus, compared to the #monopoly case, #competition shifts surplus from the school to high-type students and entails efficiency losses due to socially wasteful effort in equilibrium. The critical driver of this result is the high-type students’ willingness to pay to access a monitoring policy that enables them to better distinguish themselves from low-type students and thus obtain higher #wages."
#GameTheory

The commitment to collaborate
https://aeon.co/essays/commitment-and-cooperation-a-coevolutionary-relationship

#Cooperation isn't just about immediate benefits, but about creating future opportunities through:
#Signaling intent to collaborate
Building #reputation
Creating social consequences for not following through

How did we get here? A step-by-step evolution:
Early group hunting required coordination
Successful hunts depended on mutual #trust
#Reputation became crucial for future interactions
Language emerged and made more complex commitments possible.

We learned to make credible promises that go beyond immediate context - promises across time, space, and with strangers.

ZUCK, who's virtue-signaling for Tr^mp, sez "Some people may leave our platforms for virtue signaling" LOLs
His employees are pissed; some great quotes. A favorite, posted in a public workplace thread: "I'm LGBTQ & Mentally Ill. Just to let you know, I'll be taking time out to look after my mental health."
