AI is one of the areas where “thinking in bets” is really useful. Even if I think the scenario where humans become economically irrelevant in the near future (<10 years) is pretty unlikely, it would be significant enough if it did happen that it’s worth taking seriously and,

Six people. That's all researchers need to create the first-ever human brain map that combines functional and cellular data. Thank you @callimcflurry for calling attention to this need in @_TheTransmitter! More on the study and eligibility criteria.👇

People don’t make better decisions when given more data, so why do we assume A.I. will?

Fantastically important initiative. We need more comprehensive, standardised due diligence and reporting processes.

Thoroughly enjoyed discussing my thoughts on the startup landscape, VC, and IWD for this piece by @EarlybirdVC !

I can only apologise to the zebrafish I worked on at uni. If only I knew we could have been jamming instead! 💃

The low point of alertness – the zombie zone — is an important phenomenon in the real world. It’s when the disasters at Bhopal and Chernobyl and the Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred. An excerpt from my book SYNC about how the zombie zone is an inherent feature of human biology:

I feel very lucky to have had the vaccine. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

Reading Blitz Spirit - which is riveting - by @b3ckybr0wn and the sentiments in theses quotes at the beginning, as so much that comes later, are remarkably familiar to us this year

Very timely intervention! 😭

New variants are inevitable, so I am somewhat relieved by this

Interesting bit of trivia, wonder how often this happens?

I literally do not understand why @chartrdaily doesn't make more of its charts tweetable. Engagement would skyrocket surely?

DeepMind solving protein folding is an incredible accomplishment. Perhaps this will result in the first Nobel Prize being awarded for a machine learning model.

I've been thinking it about how it is that covid-19 had prompted such great international coordination and funding efforts, and yet the climate crisis response remains fragmented Ofc, one can never downplay the pandemic, but where is the same urgency when it comes to our planet?
