Weekend Reading & Selected Links

Happy weekend! Here are some links to things I've been reading, watching or listening to that you might also enjoy:

1. Tyler Cowen's keynote speech at the Great Stagnation Summit.

2. Rob Wiblin interviews OpenAI's Head of Alignment Jan Leike.

3. 'The Great Inflection? A Debate About AI and Explosive Growth', a conversation between Matt Clancy and Tamay Besiroglu for Asterisk.

4. 'US scientists repeat fusion power breakthrough', a recent Financial Times article.

5. 'A Manifesto for applying behavioural science', by the UK's Behavioural Insights Team.

6. One of the most downloaded songs in the world over the last 48 hours (and currently number one in the US iTunes charts) is Rich Men North of Richmond, an Appalachian protest anthem written and performed by unknown Virginian Oliver Anthony, published only three days ago.

Have a great weekend,
