Last month Dawkins declared Claude conscious and was mocked. @garymarcus.bsky.social cleverly called it The Claude Delusion. My (and Nagel's?) take: Both are wrong for the same reason. Here's why the question of machine consciousness will never be settled scientifically. arxiv.org/abs/2606.00226
Science is constitutively third-personal: its findings are in principle reproducible by any observer, independent of perspective, and answerable to measurement. This is the source of its power and als...
Every time you experience something new, your brain faces a decision: Should it update an existing memory or create a new one?
In our new paper in @sfnjournals.bsky.social #JNeurosci, we isolate that exact decision, moment-by-moment during learning 🧵
Working with monkey data, we found neural representations stretched across brain regions to emphasize task relevant features on a trial-by-trial basis. Spike timing mattered over spike rate. Deep nets did the same. nature.com/articles/s41... 2/2
Exciting "new" work illustrating our broken publishing system. Seb presented this work online at neuromatch 2.0 at the height of the pandemic. Then, Xin-Ya worked years on addressing reviewer comments, which added some rigor but didn't change the message. 1/2
Personally, I will be looking to mentor projects with Mahindra Rautela on (1) Search and Evaluation for test-time AI Reasoning, and (2) model distillation to compress large physics foundation models.
Please feel free to get in touch with questions or to express interest.

Are you a graduate student interested in working at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) this summer? LANL has student internships, apply here: lanl.jobs/search/jobde... Please apply ASAP and before February 13th (sorry for the rush) 1/2
Intuitive cell types don't necessarily play the ascribed functional role in the overall computation. This is not a message the field wants to hear as it suggests better baselines, controls, and some reflection. elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre... 2/2

How the brain adapts its representations to prioritize task-relevant information remains unclear. Here, the authors show that both monkey brains and deep learning models stretch neural representations...
