Dear editors: If you want me to review a paper, give me a form with two entries: comments for authors, optional comments for editor. Maybe (maybe) ask for accept/revise/reject recommendation, but that is really your job. Please don't ask me to answer 12!!! separate questions... 🧪

Lately my feed has been full of stories like "The brain's learning is more complex than Hebb thought!" and "Does the adult brain have new neurons?". Hebb was almost 100 years ago and the neurogenesis "debate" is 30 years old. We are worse than Hollywood in terms of rehashing the same old stories 🧠🧪

Bill Dally presenting the rise in necessary compute for AI I see why this is good for Nvidia. But why would this be considered good for anyone else?

At the @cra-hq.bsky.social CCC Computing Futures Symposium this week - exciting (and interesting) times to be talking about the future of computing research! As part of this event, last night we demo'd neuromorphic and its potential impact on ModSim and #NeuroAI at the US Senate!

With the demise of Twitter, I greatly miss the often critical but honest takes on new results. LinkedIn's AI community is all hype and often wrong. I would like to see Bsky prioritize honesty and truth over becoming an echo chamber, particularly with #NeuroAI new results that risk being misused 🧠🧪🤖

This RealID chaos is so strange. I am quite certain I have had a compliant ID for about 10, maybe even 15 years. What is going on that some states are so backwards that they can't figure this out? And I used to live in some pretty dysfunctional states that could even mange this.

I'm unsure whether I agree with this. On the one hand, questions matter the most. On the other hand, I'm not convinced we (as neuroscientists) know the right questions to ask.

I'm not a fan of either, but at least with "ANNs to describe the brain" the idea is new. For 50+ years physicists have been trying to shoehorn the brain into mean field approaches with little justification beyond "it would be so convenient" If you don't want to think about the brain, don't study it

All right world, I think it is time to write...

Has anyone looked into using LLMs to interpret the information content of words in different languages? For instance, German has many words for 'the' (thus presumably higher information content), and Spanish verbs capture contextual uncertainty much differently than English
