I could do this, I’m sure

Lmao

He’s just so fucking bad at politics

Me after recording a lecture for the DL module

We're all trying to be careful with our language, so as not to offend, or not to lose federal funding for talking about paragraph transitions. To help you out, here's a worksheet to guide you in swapping out troublesome phrases for real, historical eel expressions. 🗃️🧪

Born #OnThisDay in 1935 was cognitive psychologist Anne Treisman FRS, who developed the feature integration theory of attention. She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1989. Read more about her life and work in Royal Society Publishing #BioMems. #WomenInSTEM https://bit.ly/48zDUe1

This whole thread is a very important insight as to why getting information from an LLM, even if you are dutiful and vigilant, corrodes your ability to ascertain what is true or not ** LLMs do not provide the info you need in order to evaluate truth. **

The fact that this is their worst fear makes me move further away from Labour

I’m involved with a small working group on developing an AI policy and a) most of the group notes so far do this and b) I even found myself doing it because apparently I’ve internalised the framing. This post has reminded me to see the frame as well as the problem

Yeah, this framing all begins with assuming that the existence of AI and the claims by the various companies must be taken as the given, rather than as something that also needs to be justified and accounted for. They’ve done a great PR job, I’ll give them that

Wait, Britain has politics as well?? Christ, when will it end

My 3D glasses are acting up.

Hannah Spencer walking into Westminster, sucking her teeth, tutting, and muttering "tell you what, you've had some cowboys in here."

Have you ever asked yourself, how insect brains represent places? And whether insects do have place cells? Then move to Germany this summer and start your PhD in my lab. We conduct tetrode recordings from bumblebees that freely forage laboratory mazes. 🧠🐝#BeeSpace @erc.europa.eu @neuroethology.org

Why a man with a fragile ego and inability to take a loss would choose ACADEMIA then POLITICS as a career is beyond me.

10 PhD positions at JLU Giessen in the new Research Training Group "PIMON"! We will explore how humans perceive and interact with materials and objects in natural environments. More information on the project, the PIs, and how to apply here: www.uni-giessen.de/de/ueber-uns... Please share!

Let's all take a moment to think about what a terrible night Nigel Farage is having

In a battle between hope and hate, hope won out. Why voters rejected the hateful politics of Reform and instead embraced the "Green Menace" in Gorton and Denton bylinetimes.com/2026/02/27/h...

Fun fact, this is how sitcoms were invented

This 1,000%. It's annoying that I'm expected to start all my rants with "While there are legitimate uses for AI"

Are episodic and semantic memory really that different? Using closely matched tasks, we found no substantial neural differences between recalling personal experiences and general knowledge: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-025-02390-4

Oh no!

I made this for potential incorporation to my slides, and offer it up for any who might want it

Interested in finding out more about @jaspstats.bsky.social? The Psych Methods Group at the University of Amsterdam is running four hands-on workshops (in person or online) this summer (@ejwagenmakers.bsky.social, @fbartos.bsky.social). More information at jasp-stats.org/workshops/ but to sum up:

I have written a piece articulating what I believe is a reasonably new position on AI, or at least one extremely underrepresented in the discourse, and I hope people will read it. The full piece is behind the New Scientist paywall, but I will share some snippets www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

Tag line for philosophy as a discipline

I can't be the only one who is made /uncomfortable/ by the way that razor clams burrow into sand, right? The final moments of this video by Kate Crump on the Oregon coastline are sort of the crowning glory of horror. 😬 But how does this even work? Let's talk about bivalve mobility (if we must).

@braininspired.bsky.social talks to @dewitmm.bsky.social, Luis Favela and @diovicen.bsky.social about the trend of neuroscientists importing concepts from ecological psychology, how an organism’s interactions with its environment explains perception and action. #neuroskyence bit.ly/3OyNEkp

Cute analogy, if entirely incorrect. Oh and the app this kid has 'created' appears to be a shell for another one, and it's *very* interested in scraping personal details from the computers of unsuspecting students.

Join us in beautiful Dubrovnik for the XVII Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science (21–24 May 2026)! This year’s theme focuses on adaptation and its limits across multiple timescales, individual differences, and mental health. Abstracts from all areas of cogsci welcome! Visit: ducog.cecog.eu

Humans could have as many as 33 senses #philsky #philosophyofperception #philosophyofthesenses theconversation.com/humans-could...

The critics are correct, and the delusional guy who had a bad college experience has created something very bad

If I had the means and the interest to open a restaurant, my concept would be 'Pizza Hut as good as remember it being when you were a kid' - actually good pan pizza, salad bar, red plastic coke cups, fake stained glass light fixtures, prizes for reading books, the works

Paul Lukas has outdone himself today, and I've been reading him since 1994. No piece could be more Lukasian. There's no paywall on it and it's just delightful. open.substack.com/pub/paulluka...

Reading Gibson 1979 and having a thought about a @edbaggs.bsky.social and @tonychemero.bsky.social paper, as one does

One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across. If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers. If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

We are just drowning on the most boring fucking guys out to be real dicks and it’s so exhausting

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

I made an app. play.google.com/store/apps/d... Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby. I hope it's useful for someone. Nearby Glasses's open source, free and rather simple github.com/yjeanrenaud/... It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making

Making these things able to use words has been the equivalent of whacking googly eyes on the damn things. But of course they don’t ‘want’ anything!

This really stuck out - the loans are currently unrepayable for the vast majority of students. This means you pay for the entire 30 years it takes before it gets wiped, and so you end up paying maybe twice what you borrowed. This is an insane burden to place on students

Why the student loans row is escalating and what it means for graduates

Never a big Narnia guy but this 6 seconds typifies everything I love about British television.

Yeah I’m really not going to ICPA in Omaha this year. Such bullshit

Just occurred to me: if chickens can distinguish spiky and round, then dinosaurs probably could as well. #dinosaurlinguistics

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

What the fuck

You love to see it
