Fascinating vision/plan by the one and only Sam Altman of how to update our economic systems to benefit everyone in the context of rapidly accelerating technological change.

My work at OpenAI reminds me every day about the magnitude of the socioeconomic change that is coming sooner than most people believe.

Doing so can make the society of the future much less divisive and enable everyone to participate in its gains.

The Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest is filled with the ear-piercing ‘screams’ of a tiny amphibian in distress, but until now, we humans have been oblivious to their cries.

For the first time, researchers have recorded South American frogs crying out at a frequency that totally bypasses the human ear – but which would be quite unpleasant to animals with the right kind of receivers.

The leaf litter frog (Haddadus binotatus) is the most abundant species of frog in the forest community. Though abundant, they’re tiny – the largest of the species are females, and even they that barely reach 64 millimeters (2.5 inches) in length.
