Jimmy Carr echoing Peter Thiel with a line that lands hard: “Minus the screens from any room, we’re still living in the 1970s. Nothing’s happened in physics since 1972. String theory has not got us anywhere.” But the real shift? “Take the compute power of AI and point it at physics… everything else in science is stamp collecting. Physics is the real thing. That gave us every bit of technology we have. What happens when you point AI at that?” He sees two roads ahead: a world of plenty with 50× productivity and human flourishing… or something that goes “another way.” If AI finally cracks physics in the next decade — what single breakthrough do you hope comes first: limitless energy, gravity control, new materials… or something we haven’t even named yet?

The stairs at @ScalaLondon are straight out of a Stanley Kubrick movie

People don’t focus on the design of UK fees system because it isn’t a political problem yet. But that will change over time as more graduates enter the job market and face the burden of facing insane marginal tax rates for 40 yrs. A big political problem in the waiting.

Awesome. Can't wait to try the @IndieRabble BIPA

Don’t focus on tuition fees, focus on the 37% marginal rate paid by graduates earning £27k and the 57% rate paid by those earning £50k (plus interest).
