by Tyler Cowen July 3, 2023 at 11:05 am

1. Is there an AI data perpetual motion machine?

2. Orkney Islands to look into becoming an independent territory of Norway. Probably just a bargaining ploy with Scotland, but good to see these islands not being taken for granted.

3. Benjamin Yeoh podcast with David Edmonds about his Derek Parfit biography.

4. No progress on whole brain emulation for a worm.

5. It’s happening?: San Francisco may soon get 24/7 driverless taxis…ah, but now a setback!

6. The UK Amazon link for the Cynthia Haven Girard collection, it is not out yet in the U.S.

7. So say some!

8. Celebrities who actually stepped into the ring for a fight.
