Norwegian Olympian runs a six-minute mile uphills, with skis. You either understand how insane an athletic feat this is or you don’t. Genuinely awe-inspiring.

This is a strong card for China to play. It is also a tragedy that the US allowed itself to be placed into a situation where it can be hit this hard in the first place. This is what "End of History," DC Blob thinking gets you.

A notable shift in Beijing's strategy for "creating conditions" before high-level talks: This phrase once implied refraining from proactive actions. Not anymore. The rare-earth action is a power move, an attempt to make Washington kneel before talks even begin. Major escalation.

Incredibly bleak how universities have embraced our illiterate future. Bookstores with no books, libraries getting rid of physical collections, classes that no longer teach novels because students find them too long. Schools must resist the bookless world tech seeks to create.

On the topic of undergaduates (not) reading, the University of Michigan 'bookstore' has only a single shelf of books.

I listen to this, and after 30 seconds, I am confident to say that the ship has sailed. Europe will play absolutely no role in the AI race.

Yes. This was a silly, unforced error by @SamDalrymple123. Exchange below might be mistaken for splitting hairs; not so. It mattered. And so, no, Dubai was not ‘part’ of British Indian in the way Sam tells it. Hey ho.

The label of 'British-protected states' is accurate - rather than 'British protectorates' which is so often used in error to describe the relationship. (Aden, by contrast, was a protectorate).

Read my recent @ForeignAffairs piece with @Lauren_A_Kahn to learn about why the US should not base AI strategy around the dream of AGI.

Instead of dashing toward artificial general intelligence, the United States should invest in “rapidly scaling practical AI applications,” argue @mchorowitz and @Lauren_A_Kahn. foreignaffairs.com/united-st…

The Cost of the AGI Delusion

By chasing superintelligence, America is falling behind in the real AI race.
