Neuroscience in Chile, and across Latin America, does not lack talent or ideas, but the systems that make science visible—prestige journals, conferences and networks—increasingly price its researchers out, argues @medelero.bsky.social. #neuroskyence
My new paper "The Modal Catuṣkoṭi" coherently translates Mahayana Buddhist philosophy's structure into formal modal logic across all relevant systems. It's the first peer-reviewed comparative-philosophy article with central model-theoretic results Lean-verified. scholarworks.sjsu.edu/comparativep...
The Modal Catuṣkoṭi: Formalizing Emptiness in Classical Modal LogicNāgārjuna’s arguments in the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā rely extensively on modus tollens, yet this inference is invalid in the paraconsistent frameworks typically used to formalize the catuṣkoṭi. We develo...scholarworks.sjsu.eduNot here because it's a left-leaning site, here because I see this as a renewed vision of the internet.
I find it fascinating that if I tell Claude to hack my fake Bank of America website and it instead, in classic LLM fashion, hallucinates and hacks the real one then there is no law that addresses this? Quite the loophole. I wonder what other crimes are legal as long as you get an LLM to do it?
Hello world! 👋 We’re Minds, Machines, and Brains (MMB) 👤🤖🧠 a new open access journal from @mitpress.bsky.social exploring the principles of intelligence and cognition across natural and artificial minds. Submissions open this Fall! 🔗 direct.mit.edu/mmb
Minds, Machines, and Brains | MIT Pressdirect.mit.eduWhat happens when AI has answered the handful of my favorite problems that I've spent the last 15 years thinking about? There are a lot of nice problems that I like, but it's not so easy to find a *favorite* problem.
There's lots of stuff LLMs can't do, but if you want to disbelieve all the recent math, you have to believe a bunch of Fields Medalists with long track records are just straightforwardly lying about the thing they care most about. Here's a recent blog by Gowers: gowers.wordpress.com/2026/05/08/a...
Love this idea that industry should subsidize basic research. Industry famously is great at prioritizing timelines longer than a year or two
“I don't understand how any of these AI labs are playing this off like this is 'just something that happens.’ It's not. It's negligence.”
I curated some readings for class on "data tensions" and the list felt worth sharing. Come on a tour of datasets, books, the web, and AI with me... We'll start with this piece on the Google Books project: the hopes, dreams, disasters, and aftermath of building a public library on the internet. 1/n
Do I get angry that Anthropic bought those books and therefore *can* use them for their private-sector research? No, the part that pisses me off is that we in the public sector also bought them and we can’t—essentially because we a) don’t count as a single organization and b) are timid.
At this point we need to address an important question: is Claude unconscious?
I was going to write this morning on the damage Trump and Hegseth have done to the American military, but went in another direction. But Paul Krugman does an excellent job here. And as he would be the first to say, there is even more evidence that could be cited. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...
Fable is amazing but needs to stop talking like someone who has read only pulp fantasy: "I have shown you the way but you must open the door. The map exists but the path is yours. The atlas of your instinct — every fact must first know itself" Please, just make the infographic about cheese I wanted
Podcasts are an important part of the media ecosystem but woefully understudied. A year ago @blitt.bsky.social, @dallascard.bsky.social and I put out SPoRC, a new dataset of 1.1M podcast episodes. Today at #IC2S2, Dallas and I led a tutorial for how you can work with SPoRC and collect your own data!
What should we make of recent language model advancements in mathematics? In my new post, I reflect on long-standing cognitive debates about symbols and neural networks in light of this progress. infinitefaculty.substack.com/p/symbols-ne...
I wrote about the Nolan Odyssey for the LRB. I'll summarize some of my main points below, in case you don't feel like reading all that. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
