I was wondering whether AI will mostly benefit those in the middle and help flatten the distribution (Autor, D.H. and D. Dorn, American Economic Review, 103(5), 2013), or whether it will instead sharpen the tails.

Teaching nanostructures to build themselves
Bottom-up self-assembly is a powerful approach to engineering at small scales. Special strategies are needed to formulate components that assemble into predetermined shapes with precise sizes.

🚨New paper! The “partial causality decomposition”
When many things influence an outcome, how to distinguish individual vs collective #causality?
A framework to disentangle these complex relationships into synergistic, redundant, and unique components: arxiv.org/abs/2501.11447 🧵

As a neurologist, I see the term "dopamine" everywhere: dopamine fasting, dopamine hits, dopamine culture. It's become a cultural shorthand for pleasure.
But the real story is far more complex and fascinating. Here’s a thread on what we actually know 🧠
