We're seeing lots of headlines about the catastrophic impact of massive data center expansion. But what else could data centers look like? In my perpetual quest to seek out alternative technofutures, I want to highlight the really cool work of Keolu Fox. 🧵

A thought-provoking piece in Nature Neuroscience by many neuroscience colleagues: "Science must break its silence to rebuild public trust". Lots to think about here. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If this happened at a steel plant there would be talk of government bail out to secure jobs

So important

🫁❤️New preprint out: The social, decoupled self We show effects of interpersonal synchronization of physiological rhythms on intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling: when we sync our breathing, our breathing–heart rhythms decouple, with a perturbed phase-relationship www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I think the BabyLM Challenge is really interesting, but also feel that there is something fundamentally ill-posed about how it maps onto the challenge facing human children. It's true that babies only get a relatively limited amount of linguistic experience, but...
