Welcome to 2025... Get ready everyone - "Something Wonderful is Coming!"

[Simon_E_Davies @Simon_E_Davies]

@harari_yuval Aren't you seeking patterns in a coming singularity that's so utterly strange and new it might be beyond anything we can truly grasp or imagine? How can we mere mortals ever predict how a planetary-scale intelligence would think or reason in this upcoming epoch?

[Simon_E_Davies @Simon_E_Davies]

@bubble_snort @ianmiles To be honest, I think we need to stop turning to the councils and government for help. They've been captured or disempowered. We need to raise funds and start paying people to patrol the streets and protect these girls. We can't let this go on, we have to step up!

[Simon_E_Davies @Simon_E_Davies]

@bubble_snort @ianmiles These girls may be vulnerable, lonely or without support. These men offering are money, attention & status to exploiting their vulnerability. The first thing we need to do is stop calling them slags & start helping them. They're innocent children caught in a dark, predatory game.

Please play to your kids, and those so wrapped up in bashing Britain they can’t see the wood for the trees 🇬🇧

@cranegirl1405 @JamesMelville As a parent, I do understand. But this country needs its young, they're our future after all. We are more than single households trying to get by, we are a national family too. I hope we build a country where brilliant young kids like yours feel safe, valued + proud to come home.

[Simon_E_Davies @Simon_E_Davies]

@cranegirl1405 @JamesMelville I think telling our youth to leave is unwise. If those with energy, skill and hope are encouraged to go, no-one will be left to rebuild? Our grandparents sacrificed for this country, we owe it to them not to give up. At some point, a country has to be fought for, not abandoned.

Demis Hassabis just said something that should unsettle every scientist alive.

Hassabis: “I do think that, ultimately, underlying physics is information theory. So I do think we’re in a computational universe.”

The CEO of Google DeepMind is telling you reality runs on code.

Not metaphorically.

Structurally.

AlphaFold didn’t approximate protein structures.

It solved them.

Not because DeepMind built a better guesser.

Because proteins were never physical objects.

They were always data.

Hassabis: “The fact that these systems are able to model real structures in nature is quite interesting and telling.”

He said telling.

Not impressive. Not promising. Telling.

As in the results reveal something about what reality actually is.

AlphaGo found patterns in a 3,000-year-old game no civilization ever noticed.

AlphaFold decoded biology in hours that took researchers decades.

These systems aren’t approximating nature.

They’re reading it fluently.

Because nature was always written in a language machines understand better than we do.

Hassabis: “Maybe at some point I’ll write up a scientific paper about what I think that really means in terms of what’s actually going on here in reality.”

The man running the most advanced AI lab on Earth thinks he’s found something fundamental about existence itself.

And he’s not ready to say it yet.

Every era thinks it knows what the universe is made of.

Atoms. Waves. Strings.

Hassabis is suggesting the answer was never matter.

It was always math.

And the machine he built to fold proteins might have accidentally proved it.

The question that should keep you up tonight isn’t whether AI can simulate reality.

It’s whether reality was the simulation first.

How did we get the term 'Milky Way' and 'Galaxy'? It all has its origins in Greek Myth, as Stephen Fry explains...✨

[Simon_E_Davies @Simon_E_Davies]

Uranus pressing down on Gaia leaves no space for life to unfold. Only their son Kronos is willing to separate his parents. His act forces the sky to recoil from the earth, creating a space in which time, growth, and change can emerge.

What if physics is just the universe learning? Most Theories of Everything episodes are mind‑bending for their math, physics, philosophy, or consciousness implications. This one hits all four simultaneously. Professor Vitaly Vanchurin joins me to argue the cosmos isn't just modeled by neural networks—it literally is one. Learning dynamics aren't a metaphor for physics; they are the physics. Vanchurin shows why we need a three‑way unification: quantum mechanics, general relativity, and observers.

David Kipping says something fundamental has shifted in science.

At a closed meeting at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), top physicists agreed AI can now do up to “90%” of their work and may soon push discovery beyond human understanding.

“I don’t know that I want to live in a world where everything around me is just magic.”

He says the best scientific minds on Earth are now holding emergency meetings about what comes next. This isn’t speculative anymore. It’s really happening.
