I saw a cyber truck with a big “Waste Management” sticker on it. Totally got me!!

At work one of the huge AI/crypto profs was super excited about deepseek for these reasons today. He ran through a lot of examples of biz models that seemed more promising to me than what we’ve gotten so far (caveat: not my opinion per se, but is a sentiment some can have)

So excited to see you here, Jaron. We met YEARS ago at a lab meeting at USC with Antonio Damasio and I still think about it. Hope we can continue the conversation!

Super interesting! Not my field per se, but since I teach Intro to Entrepreneurship I see a ton of useful lessons coming from this.

May be the first under-ratiod serving size I’ve ever seen lol!

I wrote this paper in grad school and I am super proud it held up well. Good job past Glenn!!

We found that it’s more than the thought that counts — how much we need a gift is often a better predictor of gratitude than effort, and that gratitude is felt alongside a wide range of other emotions.

It’s modeled after retinotopic models of visual space to allow a testable model across a range of interactions. Basically a scalable multi dimensional model of gratitude that makes robust predictions for how someone will feel after receiving a gift.

This is applied lean methodology wherein companies search for a business model. It’s a good model but usually done, I dunno, before you have a 100b valuation…

Such a great article. No mention of Sapolsky’s “Determined?” I was hoping for a bit more of a rejoinder as I enjoyed Bob’s book a ton but disagreed with a lot of the conclusions… Will definitely read Free Agents!

It’s been awesome so far. Lots of new folks I’d never met and people are very open to chatting and discussing. Definitely growing!

Amazing! But we also need a conversation around people’s fetish for “top tier” journals. They’d be out of business as soon as name brand labs choose a journal co-op model instead (eg editor owned w/ paid reviewers) Such a biz model would be VERY easy to set up but needs zero defections.

It sounds exactly like something my entrepreneurship students would come up with in a fifteen minute pitch competition as a joke

It’s BS….but also I am absolutely fascinated by it from a dystopian consciousness hellscape perspective.

Great looking table! Related/unrelated I think Bluesky needs more makers

Super interesting approach in that article. Unless I’m out of the loop it seems unique to do qualitative analyses like that in neuro. Thanks for posting!

Louder for the people in the back! Dopamine fasts are pointless and ignorant of basic brain chemistry! If you really want a dopamine fast I suggest Parkinson’s.
(Meant with sensitivity to the degree that “dopamine fasts” are IMO slightly offensive to people that actually struggle with DA issues)

Will be some legit good games in this crowd and will deliver some upsets to big ten/sec teams on the regular.

This publication system is so broken. We need a co-op model by scientists for scientists.

Totally agree, I’ll never forget a professor (from Torsten Wiesels lab IIRC) just shrugging when explaining that 90% of input to the LGN comes from the occipital cortex, and yet had no idea or interest in what it did!

Love the articles and readings in this thread and need to dive in more. I wonder how much the dogma of the brain as a linear processor (eg: retina-lgn-v1-dorsal/ventral, etc) has been so persuasive we’ve been blinded to other better analogies from nature to explain how it works.

If anyone can work that phrase into a diffusion imaging paper I’ll buy them dinner.

Perfect timing! I’m actually planning an eye tracking experiment for the first time so this is super useful. Thanks!!
