"Perfect" isn't always smart š§ . Anyone can tell apart two stimuli (including our mice). But how do we extract rules that apply to new stimuli? š§µ

for "AI" to be profitable, costs need to be aligned with token use rather than subscription, and then everyone needs to use orders of magnitude more tokens. "Agentic" workflows are for making massive token spend palatable by making the point of comparison "20 engineers" despite being the same thing.

Basic properties of symmetric random matrices can explain the emergence of macroscopic patterns in neural networks, suggesting that initialization conditions of connected neural populations may confer computational advantages across the mouse brain.
