To be fair, waitbutwhy's newsletter isn't spam, it only send about one email per year when new articles are published. As publications are so infrequent, that's a good way not to forget about this blog

This is mostly a media hype IMO, but I have a bias as I graduated in machine learning and still work in AI. For an analysis of the state of the field and the surrounding media attention, I highly recommend this blog post by Zachary Lipton [

Landmass is sometimes valued much lower than we might expect. In the eighteen century, France perceived Guadeloupe (an island in the carribean) as more valuable than Canada [1] and chose to keep the former over the later. Voltaire is often
