The move to @eurosky.social went quite smoothly. It took several hours to migrate all my data (I have a lot of posts!) and I had to run pdsmoover.com to locate some missing blobs, but otherwise everything worked as expected. Highly recommended for anyone who wants their data to reside in Europe! 🇪🇺
I've resisted calling any of what gets called AI now as AI because we'll, it never seemed that way to me. But this, [Fable] sounds like it is starting to be along the lines of what AI means to me. And it feels terrifying.

fMRI connectivity is dominated by recurring high-amplitude BOLD events (CAPs, QPPs) But what originates these events? Many think neuromodulation is the culprit. Our new work offers a simpler take: cortico-cortical dynamics alone can generate CAP-like events! doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1013995 🧵1/n

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
