One fantastic point made at @worksinprogress.bsky.social 'Can Europe catch up on AI' talk. The market seems winner take all, even meta and xAI are making ~no money from their models. Any EU champion would likely struggle and need endless subsidies as the revenue goes to OpenAI and Anthropic

BIG NEW piece by me. A few years ago, if you asked me to summarize my entire worldview in one article, I would’ve said it was too broad and too difficult. But this year, I decided to do it.

Stanislaw Lem is so good. I was reading an antology of some of his robotic short stories, ending in "The Mask" ("Maska"), described as a most disturbing love story. No wonder, the plot is that a robot assassin disguised as a woman is sent to a royal ball to kill one of the courtiers.

Sooo cool to see RNAi pesticides coming to Belgium. Can't wait for a future where every field teems with insects and bird life since we can target only pest. Organic certifying bodies should embrace RNAi. www.brusselstimes.com/belgium/2137...

From Australia: "New research has found public transport fares have not been a decisive factor in pushing people to shift from car to public transport." "Better public transport access, coverage, reliability, and travel time have a greater impact than price in changing long-term commuting habits."

It's amazing that Trump basically managed to slap a tax on US gas to fund the IRGC. Maybe he just secretly wants to retire and be impeached after the midterms.
