Faith Kipyegon tonight ran six seconds off a four-minute mile. As Carl Lewis said, she may not have knocked down the wall, but she certainly knocked a few bricks off. What an achievement.

When I started grad school three decades ago, we thought climate change was a future problem. Now it’s clear that the future is here.
Even if people don’t care that those who’ve contributed the least to causing climate change suffer the most from it, they should care about fixing it for themselves.

Wry grin at Simon Kuper’s article in today’s FT. Should be required reading for schoolchildren along with “How to argue with nuance, not cancellation.”
Mostly because of the smartphone, most people are getting dumber. How can individuals resist the trend? I've charted seven intellectual habits of very intelligent thinkers. We can all become more intelligent by adopting these on.ft.com/3SDKwTj

Such a good (short) article linked below, covering what AI is and how it can be useful in supporting scientific advances by “curating” the solution set.
You could understand a techbro AI evangelist saying something this naive, but Hassabis is deep into drug discovery and runs a drug discovery startup-Isomorphic Labs.
Thoughts on Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind saying that AI could cure disease in general in ten years.

Thread. Continuing alignment with EU standards (or ensuring better ones) is the right way to go. But will have consequences for trading with countries with lower standards. Really interesting to see Labour’s change of heart, here.

Paying for fair usage scuppers the profit model. But is the only way that sensible AI usage can proceed.
the GenAI trend of the 'studio ghibli style' is especially insidious and malicious because of how outspokenly scathing Miyazaki has been toward the tech. why not CalArts style or Disney style or literally any other style. why ghibli specifically.
it's always about contempt for artists, every time
