When I opened the email telling me I\u2019d been accepted to run the London Marathon, I felt elated. And then terrified. Barely six months on from my last marathon, I knew how dedicated I\u2019d have to be to keep running day after day, week after week, month after month, through rain, cold, tiredness, grumpiness, and hangovers.<\/p>\n

The marathon is the easy part. It\u2019s the constant grind of the training that kills you\u2014and finding ways to keep it fresh and interesting is part of the challenge. Some exercise nuts think they\u2019ve found a way to live their routines up: by using the AI chatbot ChatGPT as a sort of proxy personal trainer.<\/p>\n

Its appeal is obvious. ChatGPT answers questions in seconds, saving the need to sift through tons of information, and asking follow-up questions will give you a more detailed and personalized answer. But is ChatGPT really the future of how we work out? Or is it just a confident bullshitter? Read the full story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How new technologies could clean up air travel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aviation is a notorious \u201chard-to-decarbonize\u201d sector. It makes up about 3% of the world\u2019s greenhouse-gas emissions, and airline traffic could more than double from today\u2019s levels by 2050.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When it comes to flying, the technical challenge of cutting emissions is especially steep. Fuels for planes need to be especially light and compact, so planes can make it into the sky and still have room for people or cargo. But the industry has some promising ideas for cleaning up its act\u2014and some of them are already taking off. Read the full story<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

New report: Generative AI in industrial design and engineering<\/strong><\/p>\n

Generative AI could transform industrial design and engineering, making it more important than ever for leaders in those industries to stay ahead. So MIT Technology Review has created a new research report that highlights the opportunities\u2014and potential pitfalls\u2014 of this new technology.<\/p>\n

The report includes two case studies from leading industrial and engineering companies that are already applying generative AI to their work\u2014and a ton of takeaways and best practices from industry leaders. It is available now for $195<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The big story<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inside effective altruism, where the far future counts a lot more than the present<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

October 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Since its birth in the late 2000s, effective altruism has aimed to answer the question \u201cHow can those with means have the most impact on the world in a quantifiable way?\u201d\u2014and supplied methods for calculating the answer.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that effective altruisms’ ideas have long faced criticism for reflecting white Western saviorism, alongside an avoidance of structural problems in favor of abstract math. But as believers pour even greater amounts of money into the movement\u2019s increasingly sci-fi ideals, such charges are only intensifying. Read the full story<\/a>.<\/p>\n
