OMG, yes!

Super interesting/helpful. Sci-Fi writer Ted Chiang in Lunch with the FT says artificial intelligence is a poor choice of words (quoting s.o else) and "applied statistics" is a better term.

Wow, that's quite something, a "non-man".

Urgent new open letter from Compass: Neal Lawson is facing expulsion, join me in signing this letter to The The Labour Party Party to embrace a pluralist culture for the sake of our country. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/26e9…

Fascinating, and more compelling and human than anything in the movie x.com/MichaelWarbur1…

I love this from the paper: "To green the financial system, it is not enough to know that climate change is bad."

A puzzling text message arrives as I haven't contactes Thames Water 💧 lately. Should I respond to find out what's going on? Of course not, it's a #scam

"STOP, this is insane". That's the subject line that got me to sign this call for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the blockade in Gaza. #CeasefireNow secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/ca…

If you see someone in public distressed, ask someone else to join you to see if they're alright. People do k*ll themselves at train stations, it's not stupid to suggest that you could save a life - but women, for goodness' sake, don't approach a man behaving 'off'. Too dangerous
