A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

There can be useful applications of LLMs in research, but peer review is certainly NOT one of them — please don't offload your judgment to a dumb model!

Just learned that Carlo Umiltà has passed away — a giant of Italian neuroscience 🧠 I was lucky to learn from him during my PhD (not my advisor, but a regular presence in the lab).

"Simpson's gender-equality paradox" surely deserve some award for best title 👑 The gender-equality paradox seems really central to some narrative people have constructed (and successfully sold). I absolutely wouldn't be surprised if it turned out 100% confounding.> www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Nice study! The idea of categorization is intruiguing—why would memory discretise something that was continuous? I think there is increasing evidence that categorization (e.g. discrete attractors) helps protect memories from noise and drift, trading biases for more stable representations.
