Are you:
* A cognitive science (or adjacent) PhD (current or graduated, or equivalent research exp.)?
* Interested in studying LMs abilities for conceptual reasoning about cog sci, and helping to improve them?
If so, apply to our new conceptual reasoning fellows program!

Lots of conversation around how we understand AI. How can we think alongside something that doesn’t share the language we think in? I wrote this a few weeks ago as a beacon for people thinking about similar problems. Fun when the timing hits.
Instead of navigating with Google Maps, what if your watch buzzed against your wrist to steer?
@AliceAlbrecht, an AI researcher, cognitive neuroscientist, and founder of @recollect_ai, suggests that machines will teach us their language (which may not involve words) and share their answers to our questions via touch, temperature, vibration, and eventually, new hardware.

Prompting is a phase.
We're using AI to copy and speed up today's work, but as we become cognitive cyborgs, the nature of work is shifting beneath us. Machines should render their worlds in forms we understand, not the reverse.

Love catching up with @danshipper- reflecting on our prior AI predictions and debates, and making some new ones.
AI is reshaping scientific discovery.
Watch @AliceAlbrecht and @danshipper discuss how:
- AI supercharges research
- Failed studies drive progress
- Data and papers can work together
The future isn't about replacing scientists, but augmenting them. every.to/podcast/how-ai-will…
It's been a whirlwind few months, and I'm catching my breath enough to share some big news here! The @recollect_ai team has officially moved to @smartnews! If you're interested in hearing more check out the official post about.smartnews.com/en/2024/….
It was really great to catch some time with this community last night and see what everyone was working on.
I had a great time having this conversation with @arbesman. Cheers to all those making orthogonal bets- we need more of them.
There is a lot AI can learn from human cognition.
Here are 6 insights from a conversation with @AliceAlbrecht, cognitive neuroscientist and Founder/CEO @recollect_ai.
Excited to demo alongside some of my favorite builders next week. If there's any space, you should definitely check it out. They've done a fantastic job with the lineup.
Announcing a meetup in NYC on July 24, about a fascinating topic in the future of computing...
✨ AI Interfaces + Malleable Software!
Featuring demos from @thesephist, @websim_ai, myself, and more...

I'm so excited to launch Gist today! This is a whole new way to augment your thinking and help you reduce information overwhelm. It goes so far beyond a generic summary—I can't wait for what this unlocks.
We're demo'ing tonight 06/04 @lightspeedvp's Generative NYC event, tomorrow 06/05 @playhiddendoor HQ and Thursday 06/06 @BloombergBeta's AI After Hours event. Hope to see people there if you're in NYC. #nytechweek.
I've probably never been so glad we rely on open-source models as I am today with both OpenAI and Anthropic down. We're demo'ing all week at Tech Week events and I'm wondering if we'll be one of the few still able to demo?
Our foundation for connecting your ideas (the way only you would) is solidly in place and now things are starting to accelerate fast.
This phase of my master plan is going to be 🔥. What if using an AI tool felt more like YOU, but better?
Connect your thoughts faster than ever. Sneak peak of our newest human + AI collaboration. Turn your nuanced insights into a personalized “Abstract” in seconds.

This cross-domain work is SO important. I really respect what these labs do. We need more people that can bridge 🧍+ 🤖.

Really excited to share:
Language in Brains, Minds, and Machines w @Nancy_Kanwisher @ev_fedorenko
@AnnualReviews
We survey the insights that language models (LMs) provide on the question of how language is represented and processed in the human brain.

I've been sick for about a week (I'm fine now), and in NY time, that translates to missing 1 year's worth of events.
Another fun talk about using AI to become better (more creative) cyborgs!
A look back at The Future of Publishing: A Festival in New York City. @AliceAlbrecht, founder and CEO of @recollect_ai, discusses AI itself not being creative and why that's ok.
Incredibly sad news. It feels like it's been a rough month for losing intellectual giants.
Wrenching news: Dan Dennett has died.
He's been a great friend and incredible inspiration for me throughout my career. I will miss him enormously.
