Me while adding lines of code to the same function: maybe I should nest functions into my function.

Awesome study!!!

New paper! 🚨 ~1.8K Mooney images from THINGS + ~1K participants to study visual ambiguity resolution.

Results suggest the visual system shifts from a top-down guess to bottom-up matching after disambiguation, and a U-shaped link between info gain and identification.

Wow this is good.

Instead of coming together, working interdisciplinarily, and thinking about problems in depth, we outsource to LLMs. Instead of slowing down we are contributing to something that promotes the opposite of thinking deeply, being creative, and most importantly learning from and with each other.

One point could be that being more productive so fas hasn't lead to (1) better results or (2) increased quality but rather an increased expectation of productivity. "Just use chatGPT, then you can do more!” Is that really the world we are striving for? Didn't we want to slow down?

During these times I am scared for both my Muslim and Jewish friends. Truly terrifying times.

I started just expecting a typo... Its part of who I am. Unfortunately

I just made a 3-year career plan and realized that years are only 48months and only about 1000 working days . . .

Writing this paper, one figure at a time...

That its more noise than signal compared to many tasks seems like a given. But doing many tasks with participants is expensive and more complicated

Is that a big surprise? I was always under the impression that resting state is used as often because its (1) easy for participants to do, (2) less expensive because short, (3) available on many open source databases, and (4) may represent what the brain does in it's "resting" state.

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’

‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’

‘Hello’ is not related to either.

Goodbye.

I agree. I always found it hard to stomach how "my bubble" deals with people from outside the bubble. It would help to give eachother grace and engage with genuine interest in the other person's experience that may have lead them to their beliefs.

I agree so much! But just like in proper gentle parenting we have to make sure we draw lines and stay very clear on boundaries

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Got a (co-authored) paper accepted for my birthday! 🌟

Thank you 🩵

So excited to announce that I will be starting as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Kings College London soon!
I will be joining a bunch of very nice, welcoming and brilliant people on an exciting project.

The beach in Newcastle was nice, London doesn't seem too bad either though. 😉

Vallor's paper really hit the students hard - it was about up-skilling cases where automation replaces a useless skill and gives us more time, vs. cases where automation replaces a crucial skill and de-skills us, makes us fall out of practice. Her core cases are about AI-based moral judgment.

Finally someone talking about what's going on candidly.
The US government is weakness mascerading as strength, it reflects in the tweets, the censorship, the masked men on the street...

Love that slow science is becoming bigger. Hope it will slowly become a new norm

I am on that side of the argument. I'm more wary of completely shutting other people's perspectives out. The black and white, right and wrong approach doesn't quite sit right with me.
IMO its important to know people's motivation to do and believe things that don't align with my views.

if it quacks like a duck...

I think it's curious that in many of the discussions on this subject I have seen here so far, people advocating for the use of AI do not interact at all. My personal assumption why thats the case is that they dont feel welcome in the discussion with their perspective.

The discussions on this platform rarely feature these oder perspectives. Given the age and political climate we are in I believe it would be good to foster a dialogue here where both views are accepted and we can actually exchange perspectives without trying to convince eachother.
