I spoke to some brilliant artists who are producing work in support of the current protest movement in Iran and wrote about them here: theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

Huge thanks to nic lane and Yarin for years of great supervision and helping me actually finish this thing! Thanks also to @SongHan_Omni and Andrew for making the viva as pleasant as possible. Looking forward to much more ML Cohere 🤖

I have finally written about this. wired.com/story/effectiv…

If my disgust for Nick Bostrom’s intellectual trash hadn’t hit peak vom with his embrace of (not so borderline) support of eugenics as part of longtermism and suckling the corrupt teat of the trashiest billionaires, it now has.
