Using human mobility data to quantify experienced urban inequalities - Nature Human Behaviour
Xu et al. review applications of urban mobility behaviour data and propose a temporal bipartite network that reveals mobility patterns between people and places. It helps to track urban inequalities i...

🎉 Today, our perspective on "Using mobility data to quantify experienced urban inequalities" is finally published in Nature Human Behavior. I am honored to be listed among many stellar coauthors and thankful for their valuable insights.

Indonesia’s shift to cleaner cooking fuels has greatly improved air quality and health—
In 2000, less than 10% of the population in Indonesia had access to clean cooking fuels. This is now over 90%, as the chart shows.

Our new collective effort highlights what happens when AI acts in populations rather than as isolated tool. TL;DR: a lot.
We have a new paper in Science today on how malicious AI swarms can threaten democracy.
AI systems can already coordinate autonomously, infiltrate communities, and fabricate social consensus.

ICE is no longer an immigration agency.
It is a paramilitary force, backed by a parallel prison system, answerable to the president alone.
What’s happening in the U.S. isn’t a deviation—it’s an infrastructure. And it won’t end with Trump.

If accurate, this raises the question "who is governing Venezuela right now, and tomorrow?" (The answer isn't "Delta Force" or "SEAL Team 6," that's not what they do.) While nearly every state has a presidential line of succession, that may not indicate where power actually lies in coming days.
