A brilliant analysis by @chamath on future value creation opportunities based on generative AI: “Most of the money made off the invention of refrigeration wasn't by the makers, but companies like Coke. If AI/LLMs are refrigeration, who is next Coca-Cola?” https://t.co/LMDaFGOCmQ

"I love returning home in the dark, to see the lights of my house shining. Like astronauts feel returning from the moon, travelling through space towards a waiting world. Soon I will be home, part once more of the indoor world of light and warmth." ~C.R.Milne #christmaslights

Oh, I'm tired of the noise and the turmoil of battle, And I'm even upset by the lowing of cattle, And the clang of' the bluebells is death to my liver, And the roar of the dandelion gives me a shiver, Give me Peace; that is all, that is all that I seek… ~A.A.Milne #ArmisticeDay

"Data and documenting information [on plastic pollution] is equally as important as removing plastic because we don't want to be cleaning the ocean or rivers our whole life, forever; we want to go out of business." - Head of Research Laurent Lebreton.

Incredible scenes from the MCG in as @cricketireland have beaten England at the T20 Cricket World Cup. SACA's Andy Balbirnie won man of the match for his innings of 62 before SACA bowler Josh Little ripped open the English top order including the England captain. Congrats!
