Did you know that the invention of fertilizer helped the world avoid a famine in the 60's?

But it comes with lots of trade-offs. So let me introduce you to @NitricityInc creating clean fertilizer for a better future.

Doesn’t it always seem like whatever crisis is happening in the world, the UK will be hit the hardest. Something I noticed in this weeks newsletter 👇

We can/will avoid future energy shocks if we can make fusion happen.

Nice work here from @_RHoward and Optimistic Tech.

History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. Is it possible that that AI’s insatiable demand for energy and it's ability to produce intelligence could finally crack fusion???

This happened before. As explored at Risk & Progress, the Newcomen Steam engine drove demand for coal, while also making it possible to automatically pump water from mines, enabling us to mine more coal.

The history of technology is often defined by feedback loops and ASI/Fusion look like a tight pair.

@s8mb Everyone squeezing their house purchases in before the stamp duty and businesses purchasing before prices rise with NI. @RemindMe_OfThis in May

@DAaronovitch It’s not on the table - I wouldn’t take the risk for him. It’s a horrible state of affairs but there’s no good answer. I went to a private school (in Glasgow) and was part of a small Jewish group. I think it will only be the preserve of private going forward

@Birdyword The real question for Westminster pols poisoned by The Wesr Wing to think they are Toby/Josh - who did it first - Mamdani or Jenrick?

Thank you @GoDaddy for keeping the dreams alive. This is the year is I'll use all those domains for the business ideas I once had. This is the year I can feel it...

@pegobry_en Inheritance should be taxed at 100% and this should be a capitalist take not a Communist one.

Gonna be funny if VC’s just started pouring money into defence tech only for 2 of the biggest reasons it was needed to get absolutely neutralised by countries 1/10th their size
