Sree VijaykumarPhysician-scientist David Fajgenbaum was dying from a rare disease that didn't have a cure — until he discovered a lifesaving drug that wasn't originally intended for his condition. In an astonishing talk, he shares how his near-death experience led him to cofound the nonprofit Every Cure, which is using AI to uncover hidden treatments in existing medicines in order to save lives. (This ambitious idea is part of The Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

How MBS Transformed Saudi Arabia Over a Decade

Google and Apple dodge an antitrust bullet - The Economist
After Chatgpt was launched in 2022, generative artificial intelligence (ai) quickly came to be seen as an existential threat to the search business of Google, owned by Alphabet. It has turned out to be the firm's saviour - at least in one sense. On September 2nd Amit Mehta, a federal judge who last year declared Google an illegal monopolist, rejected the government's demand that the search giant be torn apart, and delivered it the gentlest of punishments. The reason was ai. It "changed the course of this case", he said.

The War on Trans Art - The New Yorker
The War on Trans Art
In July, the artist Amy Sherald pulled out of a large-scale show at the Smithsonian after learning that she might not be able to include a portrait of Lady Liberty as a Black trans woman. The Trump Administration heralded the removal of the exhibit as a principled and necessary step. Sherald quickly decried it as censorship. Though the Administration likely had numerous gripes about Sheralds reimagining of what is maybe the most recognizable American symbol, the controversy demonstrates the shaky future of trans art. Imagine how much uproar there would have been had the work in question not only depicted a trans woman but been created by one.
