Asterisk's latest is a retrospective on FHI by Tom Ough.

Including (stealing from Tom here:)

☛ Its apparent origin: a candlelit nerdsnipe

☛ When Bostrom and Anders Sandberg lodged with Derek Parfit

☛ The 'whiteboard panopticon'

☛ FHI's profound influence on the development of AI

☛ The ingredients of Bostrom's 'elixir' ☛ How the relationship with the university went downhill

☛ The attempts to save FHI, inc. a mooted transfer to the Department of Physics

☛ The moment the university swung the axe

☛ FHI's 'wake' at a local pub, and the FHI-inspired work that has ensued

☛ Unmasked for the first time: the nerf gun bandit who terrorised Littlegate House
