Hey everyone!
Are you thinking about attending the 2025 conference on Artificial Life in Kyoto, Japan?
The ERA is hosting a Mini Convention one day before the conference, come join us!
Details soon coming soon... but in the mean time, save the date of October 5th!

This paper, from @smellosopher.bsky.social et al, is a well-designed spherical cow with a lot of 🥛 to give.
Has been quite influential in how I think of #NeuroAI and ANNs as models for the brain 🐮
