I did brain science at Cambridge. Now I'm a behaviour science professor. Read my shit.

The Whirlpool of the Artificial. Interesting thoughts on the value in thoughtful AI integration:

We must reject the narrative that people or societies must feed ever-more of themselves into the whirlpool of the artificial to remain “competitive.” The more we optimize for metrics in artificial realms, the farther these realms drift from human reality. Populist politics, climate change and falling birthrates demonstrate the fragility of societies that have become too narrowly optimized.
