i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

I don't understand how this paper has under 200 citations. The implications are critical for our understanding of cross modal integration. This should be a whole area of research, exploring the time course, load effects, etc. There's a whole series of careers lined up like tee balls here.

Hi, just curious to get your thoughts. Was there something in particular about that study that bothered you- methodological or otherwise?

Thinking is being outsourced to AI Big Tech, Oligarchs, and the termination of critical thought

The mass adoption of AI is rapidly killing critical thought.

Thinking is being outsourced to ChatGPT, bosses are replacing jobs with AI, and we’re heading for a tipping point.

We have to fight back before we lose the cognitive functioning to resist.

We make about 3-4 fast eye movements a second, yet our world appears stable. How is this possible? In a preprint led by @lucakaemmer.bsky.social we test the intriguing idea that anticipatory signals in the fovea may explain visual stability.

beautiful!

this always seemed like an underlying issue though i’m glad this article tries to shift the paradigm, looking forward to reading this

In this new preprint @smfleming.bsky.social and I present a new theory of the functions and evolution of conscious vision. This is a big project: osf.io/preprints/ps.... We'd love to get your comments!

think the therapeutic alliance is a critical part of why talk therapy may be effective haha

I think it is time. Tl’Dr: Let’s not abandon category selectivity but embed it in a richer conceptual framework of behavioral relevance that is less biased by how we call things and escapes a framework that requires too many auxiliary assumptions to be maintainable.

It's great to see so many new followers here. In case anyone wants to know what I (currently) think about AI and consciousness, this is the thing to read: arxiv.org/abs/2402.12422
