Reflecting on the last 5y of #AI enabled healthcare in @LancetDigitalH. @Denniston_Ophth and I discuss how evidence, regulation, technology and priorities have shifted and the areas & direction our AI in health ecosystem needs to continue growing. buff.ly/3WarVkF

This is the best documentary Ive seen on what it’s like in a traditional rinzai zen training monastery. I recommend it to people interested in ‘understanding our own true nature’ as the zen Buddhists describe it. That phrase is the goal of their practice. youtu.be/QQr-VhUDwh0?si…

We just launched our latest programme thesis, setting out a vision for next-gen precision neurotechnologies to interface with the brain at the circuit level. We’re now looking for a Technical Specialist to work with @JacquesCarolan across this upcoming programme. Read more👇1/2
This is truly at the edge of the possible, so we need all the help we can get. The first funding call invites mathematicians, AI researchers & others to define the theoretical & practical limits/frameworks. Areas of interest below - pls share w anyone who might be a good fit! /2

What a terrible waste. FHI work was a huge inspiration in starting Faculty, and continues to be important in how we think about the best path for AI going forward. And influenced many others at the cutting edge.

Blogs and social media are upstream of traditional media now:
NPR CEO needs to step down. Get political bias out of NPR. We need great, balanced journalism now more than ever.

One of the upsides of living in London: everyone in tech comes through here. you wind up meeting a lot more people at times than in SV. Have heard of similar phenomenon in other major cities around the world. Everyone who visits Singapore winds up seeing @balajis :)
Really excited to have launched @reformthinktank's new report 'Mission control' 🚀 Missions are a useful framing for problems that involve extraordinary ambition, and a real emphasis on innovation and pace of delivery. BUT, they can't just be a political soundbite. 🧵

Most of history had and still most of the world has “might makes right” as the axiomatic error. If any thought is given to it, you should obviously consider morality in the absolute! Deeds done determine good or bad, not whether one party is stronger or weaker than the other.
