It fascinates me that humans want this connection so much. It's SETI on planet Earth.
And that there's an openness to consciousness in machines, but less so* to identifying it in most sentient, intelligent, socially complex non-human animals.
*I'm talking public, not researchers in either case
A short Bluetorial on plots of NIH application success rates as a function of percentile.

Maybe it’ll happen tomorrow
Coming to terms with the possibility that referring to myself as a “dogshit writer” is no longer a statement of fact and instead an unfounded (mostly) expression of imposter syndrome.

Are you going to #SPSP2026?
Do you like talking about #AI and the future of relationships?
Do you want to have something in common with my #wife?
You should come to my symposium on Thursday the 26th! Join 57 of your closest (proximally) colleagues at a series of talks that will be funducational!
Friend has done research on this and found that hostile sexism predicted interest in sexual relationships, but disinterest in friendships with AI

Truly what’s worse though: a desk reject in 24 business hours, or a desk reject in 24 business days
Massie probably?
How do you pronounce beignet
This is a good opportunity to shout out Knowledge Fight as the preeminent podcast for doing #1
Do you think Durbin would still be a yes after what’s going on in Illinois?
Oh boy time to play the game of who else is retiring or not up until 2030 besides Peters
Oof so 7 now
Fetterman, CCM… they still need 6 votes assuming they don’t lose Murk or Collins? They’ve also Gallego and Peters as is who didn’t vote for it in Nov either but are also the typical squishies.
Who else can they legitimately count on? Murphy? The NH sens?
If the VRA were to end would Sewell be in serious dangerv
He’s not just one of the Virginia conservatives, he’s like one of the main guys in the far-right election twitter with 100k followers. People hang on this guy’s every word.
That’s the weird thing. It’s not that much closer to the source material! They both deviate in baffling ways, just edge of tomorrow is genuinely a better film.
Agreed. Aside from the art, I don’t think this movie does anything particularly well that Edge of Tomorrow doesn’t do better. The only thing I hate after watching it recently is Tom Cruise’s awful smile. Watch the last scene of Edge of Tomorrow just to feel some awful cringe.
As a bald man, I refuse to listen to new age sociotechnological posturing from someone who is maintaining that hairline.
I think Quebec universities are really leading the charge on a lot of this stuff too. Haven’t seen much of an equivalent outside Quebec except maybe a bit in Mel Slater’s lab and labs that happen to be collaborating with Quebec academics.
Absolutely amazing amount of room for doing this from the theoretical/critical perspective! As someone who has done some of this work from the empirical side, I don’t think I can quite say the same.
“Imagine you could go to a physical Netflix store and pick out one of six copies of the movie Click (2006).”
Wow literally the same. UChicago study?
Oh no I accidentally gave myself existentialism by playing and reading the wrong combination of video game and book, respectively.

Is it me or does this all just read like bad time travel fiction
I just received a review that was really really mean but had a great info in it about how to improve my paper. It’s really hard to keep going back to that review to pull the important insights when I have to read between the lines. It’s an interesting dichotomy that academia can be so (un)helpful.
I know the creative director. Great dude. They put a shitton of work into the lore and art. Excited to hear it’ll be on PS5.
I am no longer taking some of the very mean things in this review seriously.
