Tom Walton-Pocock@tomwalpo · 2026/06/03赛道影响Perhaps the biggest single-policy booster to UK GDP and wellbeing available right now.
Chambers is one of the few star politicians operating in the UK right now. He's going after big-impact policymaking that sits in a large unserved consensus between left and right.

Tom Walton-Pocock@tomwalpo · 2026/05/07赛道影响For a sense of the irrepressible energy at LIMS, listen to LIMS Fellow @YangHuiHe1's interview by @TOEwithCurt. Yang's curiosity and hunger to know totally dominates any fear that AI will put him out of work.
When I first met him, it was the day of the FrontierMath benchmark release in December 2024. I expected him to be, at the very least, a bit shaken by the gains LLMs were making.
Not a bit of it: "Why? I'm so excited! Do you know how many Chern classes are fully solved? One! I need infinitely many postdocs today."
Yang's actually been at the forefront of AI-assisted mathematics since 2018, and you can listen to his story here:

Tom Walton-Pocock@tomwalpo · 2026/05/07政策影响A new maths institute formed quietly in London in 2011. It's based in Michael Faraday's apartment in the Royal Institution in Mayfair, right at the heart of the city.
But somehow, almost no one's heard of it.
About LIMS
The London Institute for Mathematical Sciences (LIMS) @London_Inst is the leanest edition of a research institute you can imagine: fifteen researchers, brought in from every corner of the world, and insulated from the distractions of university admin.
Founder Thomas Fink spent years defying economic gravity to keep the mission - to make frontier discoveries in basic science and mathematics. More than twice, it was nearly lights-out for the Institute (though in fact, LIMS runs mostly on candlelight).
After years of uncertainty, the Institute's future is now secure. @bendelo has anchored an endowment that will see this pure-research faculty make big advances in fundamental science.
Research and AI
Whilst AI lifts all boats, and it's beyond amazing that undergraduates have unlocked Erdös problems with a single incantation in a language model, I think that's how the low hanging fruit is picked off.
It seems unlikely that "solve Riemann now plz" does the trick on GPT-6 release day (I know you, like me, will try it anyway).
For the major breakthroughs - to see Riemann solved or Langlands completed - I suspect you need to watch LIMS and its fellow "supernode" institutes (Max Planck, Simons, IAS, etc).
Joining LIMS
I'm proud to be a Governor at LIMS, and if you're ever in Mayfair, you should drop in on one of their events. Some famous figure in maths or physics is almost certainly lecturing there when you're next in London.

Tom Walton-Pocock@tomwalpo · 2025/12/06赛道影响@mert @jonnny_in You don’t need ZK for integrity, you can have replication for that, though it is highly centralising for FHE (big ciphertexts / costly computations). Succinct proofs would fix that; but my understanding is succinct proofs of FHE state transitions remains infeasible.
