Did you hear about the UK government report on ecosystem collapse? It was created not only by the environment department but also intelligence agencies like MI5 and MI6. Reporters were invited to see the unveiling of this report in October 2025 - but at the last minute the Prime Minister blocked it! Luckily the Greens forced the release of a 14-page redacted version.

Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. Summer stretches on here and I've got a weekend full of outdoor activities, many of them requiring outfits. I'm spending this afternoon in a frenzy of visible mending and I'd love to not also feel compelled to reply to your last-minute email. We'll all sweatily muddle forward.

What should I talk about at MicroConf Iceland this fall? I’m looking for ideas for a 35-minute main-stage talk. A couple constraints: • No early-stage validation or “how to launch” topics • No AI talks, I’ve covered that ground plenty What are you thinking about these days? What’s a topic you’d want me to unpack? (Even if you’re not attending, the talk will be on YouTube a few months after the event.) Related

And it's crazy because like they're the they're like one of the most precious resources we know of. And yet like people regularly charter private jets, you know, like like you're putting a surgeon on a private jet to go pick up an organ, get it back to the patient in time.

And then I also think um you know right now for matching it's like everything's done at literally the last minute. It's like someone dies, an organ comes available and like you're just kind of calling around trying to find like what patient is available to get this organ and you don't have that much time to make the optimal match, right?

WOW. I finally got around to transferring my biggest 401k out of @AscensusInc , and should have done it long ago! Backstory: @Vanguard_Group got out of the business of offering employer 401ks last year, unfortunately. But I trusted them enough to leave my account invested with the new company they moved us all to. Bad idea. Not only does Ascensus have high recurring fees, the web interface is also incredibly clunky, customer service phone line had a 19-minute wait, and after all that they tell me they *DON'T SUPPORT ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS OF YOUR MONEY!!!* So in order to move my account, they a… Related

The way I think about it is not what percent of jobs AI will do, but what percent of tasks will AI do on over one time horizon. So if you think of all of the five-second tasks in the economy, five minute tasks, the five-hour tasks, maybe even the five-day tasks, how many of those can AI do?

Their words
People think of nature as perhaps some sort of peaceful thing, but in fact it is not. There’s some quite funny Werner Herzog thing where he is in the jungle saying that it’s basically just murder and death in every direction. The plants and animals in the jungle are constantly trying to kill each other every single day, every minute. So it’s not like we’re unusual in that respect.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the

quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
