Just as the dominance of google led to the industry of SEO, consumer AI agents will lead to AI driven CAO (consumer agent optimisation) with seller AI trying to manipulate consumer AI in an endless cat and mouse game.
Another approach is to make a package which acts more or less as an environment. So your package might be DataSci and then you add DataSci to your new project and do `using DataSci.DataFrames` to bring the DataFrames exports into scope. (Or you can use reexport in your package).
I just tried out Q.E.D. @qedscience.bsky.social on our recent preprint. I'm impressed. It's a little bit pedantic, but overall it identified the keys advances and limitations of the work and pointed me to some missed citations. I'm impressed!
Marseille folks: I’m organizing a one-day workshop on Distributed Computations for Flexible Behavior (Apr 16, Timone Campus) with a great line-up of speakers bridging theory, circuits & whole-brain dynamics! 🧠

Following an open letter on 1 February, our Chief Executive Professor Sir Ian Chapman has responded to feedback and provides an update on the changes to UKRI investment approach.

Thrilled to finally share this work! 🧠🔊
Using a new reinforcement-free task we show mice (like humans) extract abstract structure from sound (unsupervised) & dCA1 is causally required by building factorised, orthogonal subspaces of abstract rules.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to sit down with @davideagleman.bsky.social to spread optimism about the next steps in brain research & their impact on understanding brain and mental disorders.
For a bolus of that excitement, start at 32:50, where David nails a summary of it (in 3.5 minutes).
This is very cool work!!! Take a look
We're hiring! This is a unique opportunity to translate our understanding of neural computation - from circuit-level mechanisms to computational principles - into the human brain, through the establishment of cutting-edge human neural recording capabilities with collaborators in London and abroad.
We’re hiring a Group Leader!
Join us to lead a transformative initiative in human systems neuroscience.

So excited that this textbook, edited by @dfareri.bsky.social @dvsmith.bsky.social & @thepsychologist.bsky.social is out now! And so happy to have been invited to contribute. Here’s my chapter on the role of memory, esp. semantic memory, in temporal discounting: link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...
Across seven incentivized experiments and a large reanalysis, we systematically manipulated the presence and type of post-choice feedback in repeated risky decisions to test whether feedback shapes behavior through learning mechanisms or through anticipatory changes in preferences.

We invite applications for postdoctoral researchers with strong expertise in in vivo electrophysiology and circuit neuroscience to join our team at the Paris Brain Institute (ICM).
Good luck!
As the political climate around animal research becomes less supportive in the UK, it is our interest to argue for & protect organismal biology.
