We're looking for a postdoc starting this summer to join our efforts in understanding the capacity limits of cognition: jobs.uzh.ch/job-vacancie...
Even the most brilliant detective can't solve a case without finding the clues first.
Yet most "thinking" VLMs make this exact mistake: they entangle visual search and complex logic into one giant, expensive chain of thought.

~everyone I know agrees about this; we’re not being loud about it yet, but I can feel that coming
Headline: "Scientists discover emperor penguin colony in Antarctica using satellite images"
Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.
Our new paper (with @biotay.bsky.social) is out and on the cover story of @currentbiology.bsky.social !!!! Veronika, a Carinthian mountain cow flexibly uses a “multi-purpose tool” to scratch herself. A video and more information will follow in the comments.

Applications for 2026 entry to the Gatsby Bridging Programme (7-week maths summer school) will open on 19 Jan and close on 16 Feb. Designed for students who wish to pursue a postgrad research degree in theoretical neuroscience or foundational machine learning but whose degree programme lacks a strong maths focus. Applications from students in underrepresented groups in STEM strongly encouraged. A small number of bursaries available. Register for the information webinar on 23 Jan.
📢 Applications open on 19 Jan for the 7-week #Mathematics #SummerSchool in London. You will develop the maths skills and intuition necessary to enter the #TheoreticalNeuroscience / #MachineLearning field.

Now that Bluesky is pro-AI we should try to trigger another wave of immigration from Twitter. Maybe we could organize an unofficial "Bluesky AI week" where we try to get lots of Bluesky-curious folks to try it out.
We are hiring Members of Technical Staff (Research Engineers)!
Current LLM agents lack reliability, creating a gap between demos and production. We solve this by automating the complex workflow of debugging, evaluation, and iteration required to make agents robust. 👇
One of my favorite findings: Positional embeddings are just training wheels. They help convergence but hurt long-context generalization.
We found that if you simply delete them after pretraining and recalibrate for <1% of the original budget, you unlock massive context windows. Smarter, not harder.
This 100%. Musk has made it very clear that he will always tip the scale towards his opinion. No one else can possibly "win". Accept that Twitter is dead. X is wearing its skin.
We’re hiring.

Some folks have wanted to list Claude as a co-author on @arxiv.bsky.social submissions, which is not permitted. But if it had been allowed, so many Claude-written papers have been rejected at this point, that Claude would be banned from the platform
LLMs are certainly not just glorified k-nn, but there are certainly many glorified k-nn aspects to them.
Not in a bad way, k-nn are surprisingly powerful methods.
I'm glad to see this pressure on Google and Apple. If any other company was running an active CSAM generator in public you better believe it would have been removed from their app stores by now www.wired.com/story/x-grok...
With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world:
gershmanlab.com/textbook.html
It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class.
My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.
This is primarily why I left X: couldn’t stand the “vibes.”
Bluesky is great. I've met multiple collaborators and friends through this site, I'm overwhelmed by interesting papers to read, when I post technical questions I get many informative responses. I've blocked an occasional weird person but then they're gone and I don't care.
#XAI, #neurosymbolic methods #nesy and #causal #representation #learning #CRL all care about learning #interpretable #concepts, but in different ways.
We are organizing this #ICLR2026 workshop to bring these three communities together and learn from each other 🦾🔥💥

The United States was the gold standard for science and technology for decades, and there was never any reason that had to end.
