the most realistic scene in Jurassic Park is when two scientists make a questionable decision — traveling to an undisclosed location with a strange man — on the promise of three years of modest funding

Small experiment on "semantic artificial life". I put small LLMs (Qwen 2.5 0.5B) on a 1D lattice. It is an NCA where update rules are LLMs that receive tokens from left/right neighbors & their previous output and produce new output tokens.

There are reports of ICE activity on the north side of Chicago happening now. Please share so people in the area can be aware and take precautions. If you’re in the area please come by our office at 7016 N Clark St for ICE whistles. We protect each other. Chinga la migra.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WHEN INTERACTING WITH IMMIGRATION OFFICERS (ICE) • If you believe you are witnessing ICE activity, please call ICIRR's 24-Hour Family Support Hotline at 1-855-HELP-MY-FAMILY (1-855-435-7693). • If you find yourself interacting with an ICE officer in any location including your workplace, or out in the community, remember: • You have the right to remain silent when questioned or arrested by immigration officers • You should remain calm and keep your hands where the officer can see them. • You can state that you wish to speak with an attorney. • You are not required to • Discuss your immigration or citizenship status with the police, immigration agents, or other officials • Sign anything you do not understand. • If an officer knocks on your door at home: • You have the right to not open the door. • ICE officers must have a warrant signed by a judge to enter your home. ICE "warrants" are not signed by judges; they are ICE forms signed by ICE officers and they do not grant authority to enter your home without your consent • If you are outdoors and think you see immigration officers nearby: • You can move to a safe indoor space • If you are a U.S. citizen and feel safe to do so, you can record the activity with your phone or write down any relevant information about what you witness— ALWAYS being careful to not interfere or otherwise obstruct the operation • DO NOT: • Post unverified information on social media • Interfere with the investigation or otherwise put yourself in harm's way NEED SUPPORT?

This work comes from a very positive and very intensive interaction of diverse scientists at the #alice workshop. Kudos to the authors and to the workshop organizers, who ignited this (and others) fruitful research collaborations.

“A spate of outages, including incidents tied to the use of AI coding tools”, right on schedule @garymarcus.bsky.social “…I warned that maintaining GenAI code would be harder than writing code with GenAI … FT: ‘Amazon holds engineering meeting following AI-related outages’…”

BREAKING: For the first time in 35 years the Ig Nobel ceremony will move to Europe. "There are no immediate plans to return the ceremony to the US." www.theguardian.com/science/2026... Food for thought for conference steering committees.

Ig Nobels to move awards to Europe due to concern over US travel visas

Scientific awards – which honor research that makes people laugh and then think – to move away from ‘unsafe’ US

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Yesterday I had the privilege to give a talk at the event MOSAICO talks 2026. The topic was "invisible challenges", I decided to discuss professional deskilling due to AI. A very nice event, organised in the wonderful Aula Baratto within the main building of Ca' Foscari University
