The provided text is an excerpt from a 2025 Medium article by Greg Twemlow titled, "Why I Designed a Sovereign Compact for Education," which proposes a complete overhaul of the current education system. Twemlow argues that the architecture of learning must be rebuilt to counter the failures of traditional schooling, which prioritises compliance and synchronous learning over genuine understanding. The proposed solution is the Sovereign Compact for Education™, a framework centred on Seven Declarations

This is the latest in a series of essays on AI Scaling. You can find the others on my site. Summary: RL-training for LLMs scales surprisingly poorly. Most of its gains are from allowing LLMs to productively use longer chains of thought, allowing them to think longer about a problem. There is some improvement for a fixed length of answer, but not enough to drive AI progress. Given the scaling up of pre-training compute also stalled, we'll see less AI progress via compute scaling than you might have

In March 2025, Dario Amodei (CEO of Anthropic) said that he expects AI to be writing 90% of the code in 3 to 6 months and that AI might be writing essentially all of the code in 12 months.[1] Did this prediction end up being true? We'll charitably interpret the prediction as being about Anthropic itself. Recently, various articles have claimed that Dario said that AIs are writing 90% of the code at Anthropic (7 months after the prediction of 3-6 months was made). This is a reasonable summary of

We want to highlight two things in this post: Mike haspublished an essay in Aeon about the threat from hidden volcanoes, among other aspects, it's got some volcano science, history, climate, pandemics and storytelling in it, so something for everyone I hope!

If you get to the end of the Aeon article, you'll see Lara Mani and I (both volcanologists) have launched the first of its kind

There is plenty I could write about—a Distinguished Researcher at DeepMind who talked about how we’ll learn to use agents over time; a leader from the non-profit sector saying that she’s done hearing pitches from companies that wrapped a piece of software around an LLM to make it “non-profit-friendly” asking for $10 million; or the tech CEO who, when asked about
