So first version of an ml anon starter pack. go.bsky.app/VgWL5L Kept half-anons (like me and Vic). Not all anime pfp, but generally drawn.

The OpenAI emails are interesting in that they make clear that the goal was to build an AGI and then have 1-5 people control it: www.lesswrong.com/posts/5jjk4C... That seems...wrong.

Future AI capabilities are already here—they're just not very evenly distributed.

Such a good paper! And at the end there's a great summary of counterarguments and counter-counterarguments.

OTD in 1881, Charles Darwin published his last book, on earthworms. It reflected a long interest in animal minds: “One alternative alone is left, namely, that worms, although standing low in the scale of organization, possess some degree of intelligence.” 🧪 🦋🦫 #HistSTM #philsci #pschsky #cogsci

This article from 2014 has nothing to do with neural nets, but if you replaced "SAT-solving algorithms" and "Complexity theorists" with "LLMs" and "linguists" it would read as entirely current. Maybe tech discourse always follows the same grooves. cacm.acm.org/opinion/bool...

Impressive attempt to evaluate how well LLMs can summarize novels. They use 26 recent books (so summaries won't be in the training set), extract 3158 claims from the LLM summaries, and have humans evaluate the claims' accuracy.

Predictive coding has been one of the rare theories in neuroscience with bold, testable predictions at circuit level, and it’s been under scrutiny for years. It’s exciting to see recent experiments pushing it to its limits, hopefully leading to new directions. 🧠📈

Trying the new ChatGPT "canvas" feature. It worked really well for a while, but then started to deteriorate in an interesting way: it kept inserting redundant code, and also "failed" many times to edit due to "pattern matching." It's definitely a promising start, though.

New study confirms: Thinking hard feels unpleasant The unpleasantness of thinking: A meta-analytic review of the association between mental effort and negative affect. 🏺🧪 psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

Not all visual features are treated equally in brains or ANNs; some are favored by more neurons. What are the behavioural and learning consequences of these biased representations? I discuss this question in a new blog post: tinyurl.com/32ys9k8d (1/4) #neuroscience 🧠🤖 #VisionScience
