Extremely cool project by @initself.bsky.social , querying neural data in order to understand it. 👇
Introducing CorText: a framework that fuses brain data directly into a large language model, allowing for interactive neural readout using natural language.

tl;dr: you can now chat with a brain scan 🧠💬

Prize question: What exactly was it that made the industry that was supposed to provide us with information, to devolve into providing exactly the opposite - disinformation (/manipulation).

Or was it always this way?
Rupert Murdoch-owned @thetimes.com of London completely fabricates a hit piece on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social , gets called out by former mayor Deblasio — then deletes it.🤔

Perception Encoder: The best visual embeddings are not at the output of the network

This looks like a cool new unsupervised model, and might be interesting for Neuroscientists using DNN models.

Perception Encoder: The best visual embeddings are not at the output of the network
We introduce Perception Encoder (PE), a state-of-the-art vision encoder for image and video understanding trained via simple vision-language learning. Traditionally, vision encoders have relied on a v...

Just a reminder that what you experience in the U.S. right now is EXACTLY how the NSDAP takeover in Germany took place. It's like they used it as their direct instructions.

Hope you are all very aware about this...

Greetings from Germany.

If studied people are left leaning then it's because:
A. Smart people have reasonable political views.
or
B. If you are basically forced to live in poverty while training for the most important jobs in society, YOU TEND TO REFLECT ON IT.

So maybe pay them more and they will behave like rich ppl.

Can we make a random controlled trial of him trying to tell vaccinated children of all ages from unvaccinated ones?

They could like even broadcast it live on Fox News or stuff 🤷‍♀️
RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“

This man is an existential threat.

What will Trump do when he got rid of all the immigrants that he falsely blames for his problems, but his problems are still there?

Because this point in time will come eventually.
