No, AI isn’t going to kill us all, despite what this new book says. @jjaron on fine form here, also with the jaw dropping fact that he’s read the author’s 660,000 word Harry Potter fan fiction.

I don't think it's a coincidence that this is also an obsession for many of the Silicon Valley elite
Quite a hot mic moment on CCTV in Beijing today as Putin and Xi, both 72 years old, are caught casually talking about living to 150 and maybe forever thanks to organ transplants. (As picked up by Bloomberg.)

If this goes ahead won't it absolutely explode the UK's super prime property market? The tax bill for buying a £10m house drops from £1.13m up front in stamp duty to £54,000 a year It'll take take decades to offset that
Replacing Stamp Duty with a new property tax or similar would be fantastic. It is a gigantic barrier to people moving and using the existing housing stock better - a £40k tax charge every time you move between £1m homes; £94k for £1.5m homes! https://t.co/uHOjArB1Kd

Perhaps the most fascinating detail I’ve read today about tariffs is that superyacht owners are potentially well insulated because they’re already so good at structuring their ownership in clever ways to reduce their tax
