Must check this out. Such a promising premise...
Announcement: Hey folks, the audiobook of my anti-AI novel - For Emma - has come out today. This book was written to be spoken & the voice actors have done such a beautiful job. So moving to hear the characters come alive. Enjoy. Link below:

From Australia (my place of origin) that rare creature there: an intellectual and a world-class fiction writer. When he speaks about a partcicular concept of time, you feel he is being universal but still humble. youtube.com/watch?v=7k5bMD…

The AI Boom is Fueling a New Gilded Age "The AI bubble is making the rich richer - but when it bursts, ordinary Americans will have to pick up the tab." ("...the wealthiest 10% of Americans hold around 93% of the country’s stock market wealth.") open.substack.com/pub/graceblake…

One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. This Spanish Moon Moth (Graellsia isabellae) caught in the lamplight outside a hostel in a dark pine forest in the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees. Moons before, as a caterpillar it would have somehow found substance in miserly pine needles.
„In an internal memo from September, CEO Sam Altman said that OpenAI’s “audacious long-term goal is to build 250 gigawatts of capacity by 2033.” If Altman achieves this goal, OpenAI will need almost exactly as much electricity as India’s 1.5 billion people, and is likely to emit…
