At LSE Philosophy we have two assistant prof vacancies - one for sustainability-related areas, the other for AI-related areas - and for neither of these will you need a $100,000 visa.

I have been wondering if there is an underlying capability factor that all the many benchmarks for AI are measuring. It seems like the answer is yes. Overall correlation is moderate but not bad (median r ≈ 0.51) and there are distinct clusters (eg reasoning, code) with VERY high correlation.

Just a reminder that what you experience in the U.S. right now is EXACTLY how the NSDAP takeover in Germany took place. It's like they used it as their direct instructions. Hope you are all very aware about this... Greetings from Germany.

Aristarchus’s heliocentric model, proposed 18 centuries before Copernicus, is a powerful reminder of how suppressed ideas resurface in the history of science. www.labrujulaverde.com/en/2025/09/a...

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

If studied people are left leaning then it's because: A. Smart people have reasonable political views. or B. If you are basically forced to live in poverty while training for the most important jobs in society, YOU TEND TO REFLECT ON IT. So maybe pay them more and they will behave like rich ppl.

Your chance to a wonderful PhD with a wonderful supervisor :)

Game Theory? 50’s academics only found the Zero Sum Game/sociopath version interesting. They ignored & hid other work that showed humans co-operating & finding murals balance. They called this Folk Theorem. Much like Lived Experience, it was professionally discounted as knowledge.

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper! We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media. Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑 doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

That's exactly the research we need for AI! Glad to see work like that! 👍

It is an important work for those who want to study the interaction between art and politics in a collective context.

Recommend this blog post! "These results suggest that the solution to catastrophic forgetting is rethinking how artificial systems learn, moving from monolithic, globally-optimized networks toward modular, locally-adaptive architectures that mirror the brain’s evolved approach to lifelong learning."

Hi, we will have three NeuroAI postdoc openings (3 years each, fully funded) to work with Sebastian Musslick (@musslick.bsky.social), Pascal Nieters and myself on task-switching, replay, and visual information routing. Reach out if you are interested in any of the above, I'll be at CCN next week!
