“We are witnessing a general threat to intellectual work, with misalignment between the outcome of the use of AI and its initial purpose.“ - Terence Tao and 24 other Fields medalists terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a...

A Severe Misalignment of AI in Mathematics

I am proud to be among the list of 25 initial signatories — all Fields Medallists — to the declaration below, which grew out of discussions between ourselves over the last week. We have…

i made this thing. i originally posted it as a silly joke but i started to feel that its actually interesting and meaningful. its this: me walking through the streets of nyc to go buy pants at a store. it’s a 30 minute sound scape of unfiltered nyc: cars passing, people chatting,..

📣 My lab at NYU currently has two open post-doc positions. We are interested in understanding perception, thinking, and hallucinations. We employ a range of cutting-edge techniques in human neuroscience (e.g., 7T fMRI, MEG, iEEG/DES) and computational approaches (e.g., DNN modeling).

By politicizing the federal grant process, the OMB Grant Proposal will substantially weaken our scientific enterprise that has made the United States a global leader in innovation. Take action against the proposal the link: zurl.co/Au4wk Article: zurl.co/dGIrM

How Trump’s “America First” Administration Could Shut U.S. Scientists Out of the Next Nobel-Worthy Discovery

A proposed White House rule would give political appointees unprecedented control over scientific funding. One physicist, who helped discover the Higgs boson, explains how the rule would’ve stifled that breakthrough.

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, the clock is ticking. There are only 20 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Visit the link in our bio to take action!

Stand Up for Science graphic featuring a large red “20” and the words “Days Left,” emphasizing the countdown to submit comments on the OMB proposal. The headline reads, “Help us stop Vought from destroying American science.” A cutout image of Russell Vought is shown in front of the U.S. Capitol. A torn-paper banner along the bottom says, “Submit a comment on the OMB proposal” and “Link in bio to take action.” The overall design uses bold red and black typography on a textured cream background.

NEW PAPER🚨👀 in Science Advances with a wonderful transatlantic team. (incl @sylvainbaillet.bsky.social @olejensen.bsky.social @katduecker.bsky.social) Using human MEG, we found lower-order and higher-order neural processes that underlie illusory transitions in conscious visual perception. 🧵👇

Hierarchical brain dynamics supporting visual perceptual transitions

Illusory transitions in conscious visual perception involve both early visual cortex and higher-order motor cortices.

1. Take a look at this chart. That black line? Technically, it's the decline in the percentage of Americans who move each year—from about one in five to less than one in thirteen. But it's more than that. You're looking at the decline of the American dream.

Can we PLEASE stop calling them “hallucinations.” A hallucination is a false sensory perception. LLMs don’t *perceive* anything. These are “CONFABULATIONS.” Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Found some relevant wisdom in buzsaki's brain from inside out: "We need a societal version of the homeostatic compensatory mechanism of non-rem sleep to combat the intrinsic drive of technological development and global economy towards widening the gap between the two tails [of wealth]. [...

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

Screenshot of tweet from Huberman that reads: “The other is that dog breeds w/different shaped heads are predictive of their demeanor and intelligence. And while I don’t! believe in Phrenology I now do pay some attention to how the shapes of peoples heads relates to their intellect and steadiness, or lack thereof.”
