This was supposed to be a reply to a video but I seem to have actually posted it as a stand alone comment so god knows what the people liking and sharing this think I meant.
Spent a good couple of hours recording with New Scientist this morning so expect a nice long-form interview soon (though not quite Lex Fridman length!).
