Does not work. Will not work. Current evidence has suggested that robots are not solving this problem, and oftentimes making things worse. Why are we still believing this? Big Robot funding this narrative probably :/ Article may be paywalled, but it's here: www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Hey #ALIFE2025 people! Have you heard of Assembly Theory? A month ago, I wrote a good, objective essay summarizing AT's contributions, limitations, and possible improvements. It's perfect if you don't want to read all the critiques and counter-critiques that have been written!

Almost back home after an extremely busy, and EXTREMELY fun, @alife2025.bsky.social. I had an absolute blast and my mind and heart are FULL. I am so fortunate to be part of this community. It continues to set the standard for what a scientific community & conference needs to be. You're all awesome!

Incredibly high house prices, unaffordable rent, a moderate-high amount of tourism, in a *very* small city that's filled with students and old old money... (That being said, Cambridge is beautiful and my favourite restaurant is there but I'm not sure I would want to live there either 🤔)

Ah yes, very normal behaviour when you want to negotiate a peace deal to not turn up, and instead send 15 planes to kill the other party. And to do it to a country that has continually hosted these negotiations for you. Yes, completely normal behaviour by a state that wants nothing but peace.

Just seen a conference registration fee at just $1600 ($1400 early bird)... At what point can we just admit that this system is completely nonsensical and that we need to cull it and start over? Absolute shambles.

We see the same thing in sports, where Arab states get accused of "sportswashing" to cover up xyz, as though the Western countries are any better. The position is riddled with so many holes and xenophobic positions that I can't even begin to argue against 😮‍💨

The language and attitude towards ME countries is truly baffling at the best of times. "Authoritarian", "dictatorships", won't do business with them bc of "security concerns." All of it is used to push the idea that western world = good and brown ME = bad.
