This article from @TheEconomist offers an accurate overview of key dynamics shaping the development of AI today: the risks of the rapid race toward AGI and ASI, the challenges posed by open-sourcing frontier models, the deep uncertainty revealed by ongoing scientific debates and much more ⬇️ economist.com/briefing/2025/…

So what I plan to order tomorrow is a 14-inch MacBook Pro with a M4 Pro processor, 48GB of RAM and a 1 TB disk. Considerations that made me pick the Macbook Pro rather than the Air include Thunderbolt 5 ports (e.g. for multiple high-spec monitors), built-in HDMI (I give a lot of talks), 48GB RAM (Airs max out at 32GB, theorem provers and other tools I use are very memory hungry), brighter screen for my old eyes and a fan to keep things chugging along while cracking on heavy duty jobs and proofs. Thank you everyone for your kind advice. Still one day left to make me change my mind! Next choice to be made... a desktop Linux machine.

A massive crowd of people standing around watching a chimney and two nuclear powers bombing the shit out of each other . Another day on the only planet in the known universe where we know there is complex life . Frankly , I’d rather be an amoebae . . . I’d be less ashamed

@satnam6502 Unfortunately, as you probably know Satnam, the Universities here in Scotland are struggling financially these days. ☹ theguardian.com/education/2025… Unfortunately,

This is the Silicon Valley I moved to in 1998, leaving my academic position at the University of Glasgow to join a silicon chip company called Xilinx (now AMD). It was a very different time, a very different vibe. I miss it.
