This is an extraordinary picture. It shows the measure of household income per capita used to produce the Henderson Poverty Line. The post-COVID decline has us back at an average income level not seen since 2009.

This is happening in late November in Melbourne. Does anyone have any suggestions for cool venues in Melbourne? Ideally something classy, with a whiff of history.



The one thing I've never understood about Paul Keating's stance that China doesn't pose a military threat is that it doesn't account for the very simple fact that, over the course of decades, a country's intentions can change. Prudent defence planning obviously needs to…

"Yes."

openai board member larry summers answers a question about whether the ccp has infiltrated big ai labs. says open information flow drives progress but is in tension with secrecy, and that it’s hard to tell what kinds of things you can and can’t learn through spying

Last year, when I interviewed Richard Rhodes, he told me the story of how the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty was renewed in 1995 (far from a sure thing)—and how that was largely due to the efforts of one Australian diplomat, Richard Butler. Butler was also crucial to the…

Great ep! I used Aster Lab to turn it into a quiz, flashcards and reflection for those wanting to learn as they watch asterlab.io/result/wvBzGK7… Interested if you have any feedback on the prototype!

Now that he’s discussed this publicly I can say it: The funniest part of this impromptu debate was Cowen skimming another page of an Ethiopian history book whenever the discussion shifted away from x-risk.
