Two years ago, Dan Akarca & I wondered: Could the various features we observe in brains across species be caused by shared functional, structural & energetic constraints? 🧠⚡️
With our now published spatially embedded RNNs we show this is true!
Jointly lead with Roman Pogodin, they develop a theory of how a cost function attached to weight changes during learning creates weight distributions observed in biology. Work done in @tyrell_turing group!
At #CCN23 , Jonathan Cornford presented a super cool new #preprint :
Synaptic Weight Distributions Depend on the Geometry of Plasticity

NYT a WMD Neocon Stooge Mia Culpa Moment re: Militarized AI--YES!
Opinion page, but too little context for a CEO piece (of...) so self-servingly using a popular film to hype for Palantir, a company that benefits like no other from DoD use of AI & the militarization of AI!
An accomplishment for the Biden & Harris Team but the problem really is unrestrained capitalism, past lack of and poor regulation and the power IT giants have achieved (& AI arms race mentality). Is ethical AI possible? Not likely at the hands of #Google#Microsoft#OpenAI#Nvidia#Apple#Amazon ... If history a guide, what is likely is more extremes of #surveillance#aibias#injustice
@Gargron my #science and #compchem peeps tried out #Mastodon Nov/Dec 2022 but went back to Twitter and are still active users. Machine learning #ML algorithms really do seem to work for curating content. Half the posts I see here are descriptions of how folks use Mastodon. I’m still here because I hope eventually the #Fediverse works for connecting accounts from different platforms and there are a few interesting accounts but no one I actually know still uses it :(
