Nick Land is useful for one thing: getting into continental philosophy with an interesting and exciting narrative on the horizon under which to read Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, Bataille's VoE, Deleuze & Guattari, than otherwise. Which is to say, larp.

WSJ: "Prescient stock picks and whooshes of inflows have vaulted its assets under management to more than $20 billion .. Situational Awareness has gained about 270% after fees this year through May and is up more than 1,000% after fees since inception, one of the people said. One of the fund’s most successful bets is a stake in Anthropic that today accounts for about one-fifth of its assets, the person said."

Alcohol is an underappreciated risk factor for cancer.

A new large analysis of 843 studies found that alcohol intake was associated with a linear increase in the risk of several cancers, with no clearly safe level observed.

- 16% higher risk of pharyngeal cancer at 1 drink/day
- 56% higher risk of pharyngeal cancer at 2 drinks/day
- 173% higher risk of pharyngeal cancer at 4 drinks/day

The evidence linking alcohol to cancer was substantially stronger than the evidence for any cardiovascular or metabolic benefits from small amounts of alcohol.

I really loved this article. A one-time increase in per capita growth from 2% to 2.1% for a single year, then dropping back to 2%, would permanently raises the level of GDP per capita - and because that small gain recurs and compounds every year afterward across the population, it would add up to roughly a trillion dollars in cumulative value. https://t.co/aaUHcLslRd

When people talk about pausing AI development, I can't help but think about the enormous cumulative value that would get lost over time, the higher rates of absolute poverty that would persist across the world, and the needless deaths from delayed medical advances. There may be worlds where some version of this is something to consider, but the evidentiary bar for delaying technological development should obviously be pretty high.
