the ideal academic life is being an eccentric Victorian lord. Invent a stamp licking machine at 22. Get elected to the Royal Academy for counting the beetles on your estate. Die in an arsenic explosion. The perfect life.

There's still some nonsense in here, like 'this is the Left's fault for the way they've framed it' But also correct insight like 'it's bizarre agriculture has been focusing on invidious taxes, while the biggest threat to the business is a phenomenon some bloggers still think is a hoax'

++BREAKING++ The Daily Telegraph has... *rubs eyes* ...published something sensible about climate change: "I’m coming to the view that the Online Right is going wrong, eschewing compassion or charm, talking itself into corners of angry irrelevance. Take climate change."

Kings Cross is increasingly awash with AI firms & London's taking a leading role in AI safety. But a caveat: it's mainly the kind of safety that cares about models from being used in cyberattacks or going rogue, not societal impacts like inequality or AI psychosis www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A global capital for AI safety is emerging — and it's not in Silicon Valley

The United Kingdom is gaining influence through its growing AI-safety ecosystem.

The simple chemical that lets queen naked mole-rats 'rule'

The mechanism behind these strange mammals' extreme social structure has been a long-standing puzzle.
