How fast is AI's research taste improving? We find that the experimental research taste of frontier models has doubled every ~3 months since December 2025. The best model, Opus 5.5, now exceeds our expert human baseline. Our human experts are experienced researchers, but most haven’t worked at a frontier lab. Why measure research taste? In the AI Futures Model, it largely determines how quickly artificial superintelligence is reached once coding is fully automated.

Listen up, freaks: we’ve got AI, labour law, being rude about the French, and the Nazis ALL IN ONE piece. What else could you ask for? New essay with @DuncanMcClement on what the fall of France in 1940 can teach us about policy design, second-order effects and national decline. juliawillemyns.substack.com/…

Are overly prescriptive regulations why Britain is stuck? In our latest post, "Insuring Progress", @DuncanMcClement and I analyse how outcome-based regulation & mandatory insurance can boost growth in childcare, energy, housing.

1/12 🧵 Exploring an intriguing idea: could schools and universities be funded by a % of future student income, rather than upfront fees? This model may reshape the education landscape and the workforce in the #UK.
