My forthcoming book “What Is Intelligence?” offers a new perspective on the evolutionary and social origins of intelligence. It draws from the work of countless brilliant thinkers, but I wanted to share a few books that were particularly influential.

This question is even more puzzling and salient given the existence of Deep Research

Chicago innovation at its best: Researchers from @UChicago developed a semiconductive hydrogel that connects living tissue and machines, paving the way for better biosensors, pacemakers, and brain-machine interfaces. The future is dope.
New post: “Symbol grounding for human social instincts: a sketch”. Feels like big progress on my longstanding top neuroscience & AGI Safety research priority! What’s the problem I’m trying to solve and why should anyone care? (1/9) 🧵
If the brain contains learning systems that can optimize cost functions / minimize error signals, what might those cost functions / error signals be? I don’t mean the obvious ones like next step prediction. Rather, the interesting ones that train a human to be a human. 🧵
I've now compiled "30 Great Essays About Biology" into one article. Hopefully this will be a useful resource for students and others hoping to learn more about this field. Enjoy!
This is an ongoing thread for my series, "30 Essays to Make You Love Biology." ❤️🧬 I'll pin it on my profile.

Kolmogorov-Arnold strikes again! Little known fact: this theorem features inside one of the seminal papers on permutation invariant neural nets (Deep Sets), showing an intricate connection between such representations and the way set/GNN aggregators are built (as a special case).

The Bioelectric Code is not about single cells. New paper @pai_vaibhav & @SantoshManicka sciencedirect.com/science/articl… We study how cells could base their transcriptional outcomes on *geometric patterns* of bioelectric states across large cell fields (as happens in brain development).
Some (most?) adults become "fixed in their ways" with advanced age. Is loss of mental flexibility: 1) an inevitable psychological consequence of a cognitive system working for decades, or 2) due to physical aging of the brain, & preventable w/ effective anti-aging therapeutics?
