There are many projects that have mapped whole-brain connectome of various creatures, from C. elegans (302 neurons) to Drosophila fruit fly (~100k neurons). With our current compute, why can’t we create accurate computer simulations of these creatures in a virtual 3D environment?
We are releasing a whole-brain connectome of the fruit fly, including ~130k annotated neurons and tens of millions of typed synapses!
Explore the connectome: codex.flywire.ai/

It was an honor for me to participate in this @munkdebate ! If you missed it you can watch it here:
Full video of the Munk Debate that took place on 2023-06-22:
"Be it resolved, AI research and development poses an existential threat."
On the YES side: Yoshua Bengio & @tegmark
On the NO side: @MelMitchell1 & me.

Following our recent exchanges with teams related to @UNESCO and @WHO, there are more specialized frameworks, recommendations and focus on LLM and foundation models from governors, policymakers, and multilateral agencies, addressing areas of privacy, surveillance, biometrics, high and unacceptable risk systems,

In a great (& destructive) irony, Mechanical Turk is just AI, now.
The MTurk crowdworking platform is a major place for researchers (and companies) to get humans to do small tasks & experiments. But this paper finds 33-46% of Turkers use LLMs to do tasks. arxiv.org/abs/2306.07899

“Makers of the technology will have to conduct risk assessments before putting the tech into everyday use, akin to the drug approval process.”
What will safety and efficacy or risk benefit look like in this context?

New huge twin study of brain structure, cognitive ability, & psychopathology confirms the 3 Laws of Behavioral Genetics: Everything is (partly) heritable; Families matter much less (often not at all); Lots of random influences (confusingly called 'unique environment'). link.springer.com/article/10…

Re-upping in the light of recent discussion of AI "existential risk" -- six months ago I wrote a short article for Quanta magazine called "What Does It Mean to Align AI With Human Values?"

Neuroscientists used brain-spine interface (BSI) tech to help a man regain use of his paralyzed legs again. BSI helped reestablish communication of the “digital bridge” between the brain & the region of the spinal cord that the patient still had intact!
