I saw on the Cornel Lab mailout today that they’ve got a new small grant program. 10-25k to fund private conservation projects…
I don’t have any land so it’s no use to me!
I get the mail-out because I have the Merlin App from Cornell which is an incredible tool to help identify birds. Would highly recommend!

Writer and computer scientist professor Cal Newport has some very useful thoughts and breakdown of why AI *isn’t* going to take everyone’s jobs and what the limits are on achieving super intelligence. He also (on other podcast episodes than this one which is very focused on AI questions) has good advice generally on how to get to move to the country and spend most of your time doing things you love..
