This is why it’s fun to teach on your research: today we discussed a chapter of my book on patchwork concepts in science. The students asked if we try can build a patchwork, and so we used the case of “gene“ from the previous session, which I hadn’t analyzed explicitly before!

Had a great session on the relation between metabolism and cognition at BSPS Glasgow, organized by @davidcolaco.bsky.social . We presented joint work on using metabolism to constrain and generate cognitive models (1/2)

As the semester days get hot, our Phil neuroscience readings are hot off the press: today we talked about Dan Burnston’s latest: epistemic reduction of ‚decision‘ to accumulate to bound models in neuroscience. We discussed which aspects of decision can or cannot be reduced by these models (1/2)

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.
Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

Another gem from our Phil Neuroscience seminar: Mazviita Chirimuuta on canonical computations and explanation in neuroscience: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
We discussed what distinguishes mechanistic from minimal model explanations, how to identify neural details relevant to explanation (1/2)

AI Energy Demand Can Keep Fossil Fuels Alive, Tech Backers Promise World’s Two Biggest Oil Producers
An AI-fossil fuel axis is forming in the U.S. and Saudi Arabia as AI advocates pledge an endless need for energy — spelling disaster for the climate.

This study is interesting. The discussion relating it to linguistic relativity is misleading, though, since that's not about how something is called, but whether a language has a term for a category to begin with.
