## Content

As a reminder, I’ve decided to iterate on the approach to The Itinerant Weekly. Going forward it will now be a much more concise compilation of the most interesting content I encountered this past week. We’ll test this approach out for a few months and see how it goes. If you only have 30 minutes, listen at 1.5x speed to Predicting Catastrophic Events (Prof. Didier Sornette) and How to Avoid Blackswans (Warren Buffet). Remember, The Itinerant Weekly is available on Diamond, Mirror.xyz, Medium and now Paragraph.xyz, and at www.theitinerant.io.SubscribeMacroEconomics & Innovation HistoryEPB Research – Don’t Ignore this Recession WarningQuarterly Investment Report – Tesla Q1 2023 Investor ReportQuarterly Investment Report – UnitedHealthcare Q1 2023 Investor ReportWarren Buffet – How to Avoid BlackswansAlternative InvestmentsCrunchbase – VC Funding Drops Q1Global Health & WellnessHealthcare Dive – Moody’s Report Highlights Needs for Healthcare CybersecurityTransformative TechnologiesA16z – Tokenology: Moving Beyond ‘Tokenomics’ViveXR – The start of VR Glasses?Andrew Huberman – Neuralink & Technologies to Enhance the BrainTime Magazine – Why SpaceX’s Starship Explosion is No Big DealQuantum Insider – First-Ever Coherent Quantum Spin Glass Dynamics60 Minutes – Google CEO: “AI to Have More Profound Impact Than Discovery of Fire, Electricity”Fred Wilson – What is a Protocol and Why Does it Matter?SSRN – Can ChatGPT Forecast Stock Price Movements?Nvidia – Text-to-Video with Stable DiffusionPopular Mechanics – ‘Godfather’ Scientists Says Superhuman AI Could Eliminate HumanitySTEM: Expanding HorizonsDiscover Magazine – What was the life expectancy of ancient humans?Tim Ferris – Rethinking Psychedelics, Octopuses on MDMA and the Master of MetaplasticityProf. Didier Sornette – Predicting Catastrophic EventsArt, Culture & EntertainmentBarsee – Midjourney AI Guide v4/v5 (courtesy of Dan Romero aka, @dwr on @Farcaster) PromptBase – ebay for GenerativeAI model promptsOn LIFE: Spirituality, Philosophy & ParentingPhilosophy Overdose – Ethics Without Principles?Subscribe
