Any good writing exploring AGI impacts on economic growth and specifically considering Baumol effects? Apart from Philippe Aghion's (excellent) paper.

Looking for an intern to spend a month or two testing a theory about the Shroud of Turin. Ideally you can start in the next few weeks, and can work full-time. Pay is $2k/week, required in-person in SF.

This is very good. One complication with AI is that the tech is nascent and changing fast, so it’s hard to fully separate invention and use. There’s lots of “learning by doing” to be done and so UK can’t / shouldn’t abdicate being at the frontier (but should still prioritise use)

Our latest ARIA funding calls target two critical but under-resourced opportunities to build a thriving future for the planet: ensuring global food security through advances in synbio & deepening our understanding of (+ preparedness for) crossing climate tipping points 👇

If a friend asked you for 1 book to read as an intro to modern China (up into the Xi era), what would you recommend? Looking for something very readable (even fun?) for the lay person, not too long, gives a good amount of history but then takes it up to the present day.

It’s easy to underestimate the economic catastrophe of the last 16 years because it’s been gradual. But imagine we’d actually grown at 2% a year since 2008 and then lost it all at once this year: it would be a collapse of >30% Hard to overstate how radical we need to be now

Honoured to be named in TIME’s AI100: getting AI right is one of the biggest levers we have for progress, in the UK and the world, and I feel lucky to be working on it time.com/7012825/matt-c…

Whispers that this is going to be the event of the season. We just got extra capacity (courtesy of Imperial College London!) so we will be adding people from the waitlist. Come hear from Matt Clifford and Thomas Kalil – legends in S&T + policy. lu.ma/xwvwqu0s
