Punctuated equilibrium, a concept introduced by paleontologists in 1972, reimagines evolution’s tempo as a stochastic burst rather than a steady beat. A new model finds support for their theory in both molecular and fossil data. @jakebuehler.bsky.social reports www.quantamagazine.org/the-sudden-s...

In exactly three months, my book “What Is Intelligence?” will be released via @mitpress.bsky.social & Antikythera. Within, I rethink traditional notions about AI, the brain, intelligence, evolution, and the big philosophical questions that have dogged these topics for millennia.
