What lies beyond thy silicone face and silicon brain? The rapid rise of large language models has fuelled speculation about eventual artificial general intelligence. Winner of the Brain Essay Competition 2025,

Honoured to have been selected as the winner for the Brain @brain1878.bsky.social 2025 Essay Competition! I look forward to developing these ideas in future work.

Podem predir el futur mitjançant les matemàtiques? Què ens diu la teoria del caos? Quins són els límits de la nostra capacitat de predir la complexitat? Parlarem amb Doyne Farmer, un dels pares de la teoria, i amb la matemàtica Eva Miranda @evamirandag.bsky.social

Our paper w/ @maguilera.net & Sosuke Ito is out in PRL. We combine ideas from stochastic thermodynamics & nonequilibrium Maximum Entropy to quantify forces + dissipation in high-dimensional nonequilibrium systems, including spin glasses and neural data

A four panel comic, from left to right:

1960s
LIFE IS BASED ON DNA, WHICH USES RNA TO MAKE PROTEINS THAT DO STUFF.

1980s
ALSO, THE RNA DOES SOME STUFF ITSELF, WHICH IS WEIRD.

2000s
THERE ARE 50
MANY KINDS OF RNA. IT'S DOING SO MUCH STUFF!

2020s
LIFE IS A SEETHING MASS OF RNA THAT SOMETIMES USES DNA TO TAKE NOTES.

WHAT DO THE PROTEINS DO?
ERRANDS FOR RNA.

It’s an RNA world. RNA is posited to be the first genetic material, arising 4 billion years ago. It can store information and act as an enzyme. Eventually, it duplicated its information into a more stable form, DNA.

Excited to share a new PhD thesis from my student and soon Dr @vmaull.bsky.social on synthetic ecosystems, preventing tipping points, and a new concept: emergent bioengineering. Very proud of this achievement, and thankful to @sfiscience.bsky.social, where many of these ideas came to life.

3:20 am, el tercer o quart camió de la nit. Tots paren a la mateixa cantonada baix la meva finestra. No es recollir un contenidor i marxar, sinó aturar-se aquí per recollir els escombraries de mig barri durant ~20-30 minuts. Així totes les nits fins les 4 o 4:30. Feu qualcosa sisplau...

Hola @ajuntamentbcn.bsky.social Son les 2am i comença la festa. Avui toca desmuntar portes de fusta i altres mobles a puntades i cops de puny. ¿A vosaltres us sembla normal fer aixó a aquestes hores de la nit? ¿Per què no heu respost a ningú dels meus posts?

I like this paper, and not just for the obvious reason. A great summary of where we stand in thinking about types of mind. Nice also to see this made explicit: "All living systems share a fundamental property: agency."

4 am, els operaris segueixen de cháchara i ara a crits pel carrer. Moltes d'aquestes edificis son històrics i no tenen bones finestres (ni se'ls poden posar). No podem cancel·lar els sorolls. Una altra nit, moltes gràcies @ajuntamentbcn.bsky.social

Veig que els operaris es posen de cháchara a la cantonada del meu carrer (Argenteria), fent maniobres amb els camions, que xiulan omplint tot el carrer cada vegada que van marcha enrere... I així cada día, cada mitja hora, a aquestes hores del matí. No penseu en els veins o ké?
