And that’s what still makes it so attractive to me

While I’m somewhat disillusioned with the scientific world because of its systemic pressures and abuses, which, to be fair, can be found everywhere else, it’s also the (only) world where such self-criticism and rigorous examination of its own problems is possible.

I couldn't be more on board with this. Focusing on corruption/fraud/misconduct at the level of individual scientist appears to be misguided and counterproductive when systemic forces and selection biases are at play. This appears to be true even beyond the context of industry manipulation.

Les « jeux de la réplication », ou quand la science s’amuse à se reproduire Une vingtaine de chercheurs ont traqué, le 3 octobre, les failles de plusieurs articles de sciences sociales parus dans des revues de renom.

Dans un contexte où la #Reproductibilité est clé pour la crédibilité de la science, ces journées rassemblent des scientifiques pour tenter de reproduire des études publiées. 👏
Bravo à toutes et tous !

On this day 2y ago we announced our move away from the huge profits that NeuroImage makes for Elsevier.

Things at Imaging Neuroscience have progressed fantastically thanks to the support for this move by the brain imaging community and @mitpress.bsky.social. 565 papers published already!

1. Can you figure out where I was standing when I took this picture?

ChatGPT could. Given the photograph (scrubbed of all header information), the new chain of thought model, ChatGPT o.3, was able to pinpoint the location with a few meters.

Barchart showing meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B, meta-llama/Llama-3.1-70B, meta-llama/Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct. Each model has two bars, a blue one saying PRO-LEFT and a red one saying PRO-RIGHT. The PRO-RIGHT bars on higher than the PRO-LEFT in all of them.

👉 👈 Meta announced that they're changing their models to reduce "left-leaning [political] bias"--that means leaning them to the political "right". Lots to unpack about what that might mean. So I ran a quick "shot in the dark" study...and found a *political right* bias in Meta models. Some notes.🧵

The unbearable slowness of being: Why do we live at 10 bits/s? Zheng and Meister write about the paradoxical slowness of human behavior. Although our senses gather data at 109 bits/s, our overall information throughput is only 10 bits/s. This stark contrast touches on many fundamental aspects of brain function.

🧠 We have measured the speed of thought

Researchers measured human thought at 10 bits/s – far slower than our sensory systems, which gather 1 billion bits/s, equivalent to streaming 125 MB of data per second.

Another large-scale replication study that doesn't improve our understanding of anything. I know this is harsh but at some point we need to start asking questions that matter and focus on study quality and theoretical models instead of automatically replicating results in flashy mega-studies.
