For over a decade, anti-GMO activists demanded long-term studies in mammals. Not mice. Not rats. Primates. Well... scientists did just that. And the results are in. Let’s talk about a 7-year feeding study in macaques. 🧵 1/👇

The general view of the UK economy is that it's been stagnating for decades now. But on some of the most important metrics it's actually going backwards...

Aeroflot, Russia's largest airline, hit by a devastating cyberattack today, Jul 28, 2025. Flight planning, refueling, & crew coordination crippled. Only a few flights operational. Recovery may take 6 months, with $50M in damages. Hackers left a provocative ASCII message.

.Alex Tabarrok takes a clever approach to demonstrating that the rising relative cost of childcare is mostly a Baumol effect rather than a consequence of state-level regulation: pet care has also risen in relative cost, though slightly less. However, there is one kind of regulation

Mollick's point is that humans have deeply wrong ideas about how their organizations ACTUALLY work. This is well documented. Thus: AIs trained on how people think they work--trained on wrong PROCESS--will be trounced by organizational AIs guided solely by desired OUTCOMES.
