The Social Safety Theory of the human brain. 🧵1/14

Introducing LifeGPT, showing that LLMs can simulate complex, Turing-complete systems like Conway's Game of Life with near-perfect accuracy—no prior topology needed.🌐This unlocks new potential for AI in modeling self-organizing systems in biology, materials science, & beyond.🔬🤖

How do people track information flow through social networks? New research finds that extended periods of rest, like sleep, help people build abstract cognitive maps for efficient navigation of social networks. Marc Lluís Oriel FeldmanHall Apoorva Bhandari nature.com/articles/s4156…

Strong evidence showing that getting a PhD is extremely bad for your mental health. A new paper uses Swedish medical records and matches them to the full population of PhD students for which the authors could get gender and birth year data from 2006 to 2017. After some exclusion

Cursor AI changed coding forever. Now, anyone can build apps faster than ever before. 10 wild examples you won't believe:

here is a little demo for real-time sleep staging, and memory content decoding during sleep

Hippocampus generates an internal model of Euclidean space. We ventured in a spatial odyssey exploring how much of the internal model is a priori, innate (Nature) and what is contributed by postnatal experience of Euclidean geometry (Nurture) Our answer@ nature.com/articles/s4146…👇

Inspired by Andrej Karpathy 's NotebookLM project, I gave the codebase of Llama-3 Architecture to NLM and used Rag to find the perfect images to sync with the generated audio. The result exceeded my expectations. Google's NotebookLM is truly amazing :) Here is a youtube link as
