“Delicacies” is my incoherent, irregular, unpredictable collection of interesting sparks I came across online. Handpicked by a human, no robots, no AI. A form of tripping, wandering, dérivé, with some loosely undefined theme holding them together. Delicacies have no fixed frequency: I hit the publish button when there is enough material. That can be after a week, or after 3 months. No pressure, literally. Just click the image below. Enjoy!

Some highlights from this edition:

• About the decade ahead in AI (PDF). By Leopold Aschenbrenner.
• About The Case for Autonomous Worlds. By ludens
• About a book by a mathematician in search of the formula of love. By Edward Frenkel. The author intrigues and provokes. Some kind of brainmelt.
