Tried helping an elderly man call a cab just outside Parliament, but he said he was fine thanks. It turns out it was David Attenborough

🤯🧬 Did you know the number of possible molecular combinations relevant to human biology runs to 10⁶⁰? (That’s 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000). Because of this, drug development has historically been more a case of trial and error than rational design. But, as I found out speaking to @murattunaboylu, Co-Founder and CEO of @AntiverseHQ, artificial intelligence promises to change everything — helping companies design compounds more methodically, and with greater confidence they’ll work as intended. It could even unlock an era of personalised treatments, and make the rarest of diseases commercially viable to tackle. Find out why, and what needs to change to get there, by reading our interview in full: entrepreneursnetwork.substack.com/p/engineering-…

@MannVirdee @exPremiers @thestrandgroup I lack the eminence of Sir John (how damning to be eclipsed by the embodiment of the grey man!) however have long argued Clem and Thatcher the two great post WW2 premiers. Both left the country ver different when they left. Now my favourite however…

Kinnu is an EdTech startup with a million learners on their apps. They've built an AI-powered 'learning engine' with the aim of helping anyone to learn anything, faster and more effectively than ever before. In this instalment of The Entrepreneurs Network's UK AI Fieldbook series, I caught up with Kinnu's founder @HannaCelina to discuss: 🔹 How Kinnu uses A/B testing to validate learning interventions at scale. 🔹The human-in-the-loop requirement for zero-error tolerance in legal and financial education. 🔹How vibe coding is turning writers into product builders. 🔹The structural barriers of Britain’s copyright law and the lack of accessible public data for education. 🔹Why R&D tax credits are better than government grants for agile startups.

Terence Tao is perhaps the world’s greatest mathematician—and now he seems bullish on AI’s potential to open up a different “way of doing mathematics” and push the frontier of human knowledge. Read his conversation with @Matteo_wong: theatlantic.com/technology/202…

As a research in sci + tech policy, I thought it was important to try Waymo when I was in Scottsdale. A v smooth journey and never felt worried. These have already been operating on the road for years in Phoenix... we may see the first self-driving cars in the UK from 2026

🖥️ @VaireHQ is a company with an audacious goal: near-zero energy computing. If they succeed, they'll enable a huge leap in economic growth without putting enormous strain on the power grid. In the latest instalment of @tenthinktank’s UK AI Fieldbook series, I caught up with the founder of Vaire @rodolfor to discuss how reversible computing works and why the UK needs to stop fearing failure if it is to prosper. substack.com/home/post/p-18…
