LLMs are about to make the problems in science visible. Let us be ready. This will make science better but we must make sure that what we will discover is taken the right way. An opportunity to do even more great things. open.substack.com/pub/kording/p/…

The transmitter post on embracing complexity in brains (through AI) just came out. I love embracing complexity. But I fear we have not yet figured out what we should do in this new complex space.

Accepting “the bitter lesson” and embracing the brain’s complexity To gain insight into complex neural data, we must move toward a data-driven regime, training large models on vast amounts of information. We asked nine experts on computational neuroscience and neural data

"[...] each of the seven call types we investigated here represents a building block of a compositional structure. [...] akin to human language, compositionality is a pervasive component of bonobos’ vocal communication." science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government. hrvd.me/ResearchFundin…

This important lecture provides a clear and compelling analysis - based on several truly depressing cases. Deserves to be watched and shared. We can and must do better. media.ccc.de/v/eh22-84-the-…

Astrocytes make up a large proportion of brain cells. They propagate electrical influences without spiking. Brain communication involves more than just spikes and synapses. bcs.mit.edu/news/overlooke… #neuroscience

🧠🗞️🗣️Finally out! Paper with a way-too-long name for social media. How does the brain turn words into sentences? We tracked words in participants' brains while they produced sentences, and found some unexpectedly neat patterns. 🧵1/9 rdcu.be/epA1J in Communications Psychology
