Incredibly important, thanks @LawDavF - unrealistic doomerism a big problem on the centre, right and left of politics.

So much doom around at the moment anout social collapse and civil war. Sam pushes back. (£/free trial). samf.substack.com/p/britain-isnt…?

Very kind and perceptive review by Frank Hoffman (recently rtd from NDU) in Joint Force Quarterly (@ndupress) of my recently co-edited book "Human, Machine, War: How the Mind-Tech Nexus will win Future Wars" Review here: digitalcommons.ndu.edu/joint-force-qu… Book downloadable from…

Interesting new piece on #AGI by @IskanderRehman. He lays down analogies from history and biology for AGI, to help find where they converge and diverge to help understand AGI. engelsbergideas.com/essays/making-… Our brains do this too, as @tjbehrens discussed in a nice review…

Brilliant to moderate TX Hammes for an event: "Using the New Character of Warfare to Dramatically Enhance Baltic Defense" Fascinating on drones and other tech, which he argues makes defence massively dominant. Full video here: youtu.be/sCrP-5ws1ho #baltic #drones

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by @owenfitzp who asked insightful questions. We talked about: ✦ The challenges of modern warfare and why optimism is still possible ✦ How culture and identity shape our actions and decisions ✦ The role of metacognition in enhancing…

Fantastic open water swim this morning - water temp a very pleasant 22.5C. So friendly at Luxborough Lake!

HMS Warrior launched in 1860 and the future of #militaryAI. Pioneering ship of its time - and look at the mix of funnels (for the steam engines) and the masts for sails. Amazing new AI will be put into a high-low mix within and between platforms. See @Lauren_A_Kahn @mchorowitz…

Great article, thanks @Lauren_A_Kahn @mchorowitz @JoshuaASchwartz "Today, operating with a mix of low-cost and high-end systems is the new combined arms warfare."

Moderated an #ArcticSecurity event for the Pentagon Joint Staff with Prof @kennedycdog (Loughborough) describing the history and geopolitics of today's challenges, while @GregFalco (Cornell) gave us technological ways to rise to the challenges. Worth watching the video!…

That’s true but there is lots of evidence that AWE isn’t in great shape & that the existing warhead renewal is going to be hugely challenging in itself: nao.org.uk/reports/manage…

Moderated CDR Stefan Lundqvist's talk on Arctic security for the Pentagon Joint Staff. An active duty naval and Swedish Defence University scholar, he described how the arctic is vital to US security, and Sweden's contribution amid deepening Sino-Russian cooperation. Video soon

Fascinating, thanks. @IskanderRehman Perceptive memo - did anything come from it?
