Charles Yang is a fellow at Renaissance Philanthropies and writes about AI and science here: https://republicofscience.substack.com.

We discuss…

  • Why China never caught the West's lone-genius bug, and why that's about to pay off
  • Tools over ideas, from Warren Weaver's six instruments to the thousands at CERN who proved a Higgs boson three guys took home the Nobel for
  • How do spend a billion dollars to save higher education
  • AI, souls, and whether your Claude gets into heaven
