I mean. It was obvious in the past, that the doofus duo in the white house were buffoons. But what the hell did I just watch? I've never been more against someone signing a deal. Treating it as a business deal in the first place is horrific. Yuck. I really hope this lights a fire under euro help

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

I guess I would have been continuously and dejectedly shaking my head while sharing news of the horrendous sounding stuff that is allowed to happen. Seems I gotta grow up and figure out something tangible I can actually do...

I used to be afraid of sharing my data with the Chinese, because of all I didn't know. Now I'm more afraid of sharing it with American corporations, because of what is plain to see.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the Democrats' official statement about what went wrong and how they intend to reform following the two losses to Mr clown man? Deep cleaning required.

While this has been apparent for much longer than that, of course, I often think about how our life would have been different if Bernie had won the primaries rather than Hillary... What could have been, ey?

Imagine I were to deeply sedate you with propofol—you wake up if I pinch your shoulder hard—and then wake you up at 15min intervals to do tasks. Once your done I turn off the propofol infusion. Do you think you'll remember having been awoken to do tasks when you naturally wake up ~10 minutes later?

It really was a pleasure to work with Will on this. Fascinating stuff, and I can only hope it keeps developing! So many more questions yet to be answered, and the ones we touched on here can surely be improved further. Can't wait to see where it leads 😊 Happy new year!

Well, this is silly. A synapse is not a parameter. Or, at the very least, we have no proof, good evidence, or indubitable reasons for believing there is some equivalence between parameters of ANN and synapses in the brain.

Findlay et al 2024: "Dissociating #ArtificialIntelligence from #Artificial #Consciousness". I think this paper is very important and it will greatly enrich the ongoing debate on #AI. Highly recommended to neuroscientist, philosophers and AI researchers. preprint here: arxiv.org/abs/2412.04571

I have often thought consciousness is different from other phenomena because it is private (thus they are never directly measured or independently verified). I've realized that all (?) other natural phenomena share this problem. We never directly measure or independently verify anything fundamental.
