My friend Micah Reddy, a journalist with dual South African and British nationality, has gone missing while working on a story in Djibouti. If you know anyone in Djibouti who might be able to help, please get in touch. If not, please share this post so more people find out about Micah. It's urgent.

In 2000, Ted Chiag published a short story in Nature that started like this. It’s been on my mind a lot these days. Definitely recommend it and Chiang’s science fiction if you don’t know it already.
Start of the story:

It has been twenty-five years since a report of original research was last submitted to our editors for publication, making this an appropriate time to revisit the question that was so widely debated then: What is the role of human scientists in an age when the frontiers of scientific inquiry have moved beyond the comprehension of humans?
No doubt many of our subscribers remember reading papers whose authors were the first individuals ever to obtain the results they described. But as metahumans began to dom-nate experimental research, they increasingly made their findings available only via DNT (digital neural transfer), leaving journals to publish second-hand accounts translated into human language. Without DNT humans could not fully grasp prior developments nor effectively utilize the new tools needed to conduct research, while metahumans continued to improve DNT and rely on it even more. Journals for human audiences were reduced to vehicles of popularization, and poor ones at that, as even the most brilliant humans found themselves puzzled by translations of the latest findings.

Face au flot d’informations non-vérifiées lancées au sujet de nos activités, remettons les pendules à l’heure : ✅ L’AFD est d’abord une banque car 85 % de notre activité ce sont des prêts que nous accordons. #Développement 🧵⤵
Face au flot d’informations non-vérifiées lancées au sujet de nos activités, remettons les pendules à l’heure :

✅ L’AFD est d’abord une banque car 85 % de notre activité ce sont des prêts que nous accordons. 

✅ L’AFD est une banque publique efficace et économe, avec un effet levier considérable : pour 1 euro de l’État français, c’est 12 euros qui sont investis ! 

Car pour 0,2% de budget de l’État (moins de 2 milliards), l’AFD multiplie par 6 les financements, à hauteur de plus de 12-13 milliards d’euros chaque année. Mais il faut aussi ajouter 12 milliards d’euros supplémentaires de co-financements, publics et privés. Au final, c’est 25 milliards d’euros chaque année de financement. 

✅ Et surtout l’AFD est utile pour la France : en investissant sur la santé ou encore le climat à l’international nous investissons aussi pour les concitoyens, nous avons des intérêts mutuels à coopérer. 

En plus nos financements créent de la valeur et de l’emploi en France ! Car plus de 50% des marchés financés par l’AFD ont été remportés par des entreprises françaises. Ce sont 3 milliards d’euros de retombées économiques pour les entreprises françaises. 

Et c’est 40 000 emplois société civile, expertise et savoir-faire français dans 150 pays et sur le territoire national, en outre-mer et dans l’Hexagone.

Map titled "Which countries met the UN's target of giving 0.7% of national income to foreign aid in 2023?" showing countries in three categories: "No data" (white), "Below the UN target" (tan), and "Meeting the UN target" (blue). Only Sweden is shown in blue, meeting the UN's foreign aid target. Countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and various European nations appear in tan, indicating they fall below the target. The map notes that the UN’s 0.7% target is intended for developed countries and references data from the OECD (2024).
