Despite the ongoing global temper tantrums, and the usual counterproductive claptrap, some interesting stuff this month.
Op-Ed: The Ukraine war, if and when anyone can be bothered mentioning it Amazing how little people seem to realize that this is the war that will define Europe and the world for this century.
Op-Ed: Artificial General Intelligence, or how to make sure nobody has a job? More hype from the market, but less interesting in terms of actual tech achievements.
Op-Ed: Oh, chuckle, chuckle — The human brain is shrinking, possibly with reason If you’re at all interested in biology or neuroscience, this is hysterically funny. Of course, a complex organ is going to evolve predictably. Looks more like an upgrade.
Op-Ed: Students vs AI — More interesting and challenging than it looks Finally, some feedback from the students. Very different to market perceptions, as usual.
Op-Ed: 14 dead ends for humanity are quite enough. This cheerful little saga seems based on doing nothing and getting it wrong anyway.
Op-Ed: Australian universities ‘to do something’ about rampant sexual violence? You don’t say. How long has this obscenity been going on?
Op-Ed: ‘Name the Australian Moon Rover’ isn’t the whole story — It’s been a long time coming Australia’s genius for underrating and hideously undervaluing its science goes on. I saw almost no publicity for this.
Op-Ed: How to lose $44 billion – X anti-Semitism has advertisers pulling out When Musk took over, I did an article called “The Bluebird of Crappiness isn’t an option. It still isn’t. This is suicide for a major asset.
Op-Ed: Xi’s big image shift – Why? Specifically, why does one of the quietest world leaders to a major move away from the previous image?
Op-Ed: As though anyone cares — Climate effects on health getting much worse. I do not like writing about stupidity.
Op-Ed: To broadcast or not to broadcast? Trump fraud trial idiocy continues. The more noise Trump makes, the less he achieves.
Op-Ed: Costing yourself and the world out of existence, explained. What kills markets? Prices.
Op-Ed: Gaza – Supporting total failure for any hope of a Palestinian state If there was any more certain way of ensuring this horror story goes on for another century, this is it.
Op-Ed: Political psychology and identity politics versus reality A quaint little study in baseline child psychology.
Op-Ed: Windbag-at-law Trump missing all points in very dangerous fraud case. And so it goes on. And on.
Op-Ed: The Beatles Now and Then – As good as then, now. If you know the musical history, this is a very authentic mix.
Op-Ed: Are you a political and media sucker? Let’s try this excruciating little quiz. Self explanatory. This would be the laziest marketing on Earth, bar none.
Op-Ed: Real time memory nano neural networks work out with University of Sydney and UCLA This is actual tech, and it’s extremely important.
