Tuesday assorted links

1. “…we demonstrate that when an organism needs to adapt to a multitude of environmental variables, division of labor emerges as the only viable evolutionary strategy.”

2. How is AI helping ornithology?

3. Vesuvius Challenge Prize awarded, we can read the first scroll.  And a background Bloomberg piece.

4. Seafood as a resilient food solution after a nuclear war.

5. Nabeel Qureshi on whether there is a Moore’s Law for intelligence: “The shocking implication of what we have seen in this piece so far is that there may be no great, transformative breakthroughs needed to get to the critical inflection point. We already have the ingredients. As Ilya Sutskever likes to say, “the machine just wants to learn” – data, compute, and the right algorithms result in intelligence of a particular kind, and more of those inputs results in more intelligence as an output!”

6. What is Jordan Peterson doing in his new shows?

7. Enceladus questions.
