Same question answered under other comment.

Take a gander at the OpenWorm project. It's a great example of how simple neuronal activity is (given details like the connections, number of receptors, and transmitter infrastruct…

I worked on the Human Connectome Project. If they freeze the vesicles that deliver transmitters and make them analyzable, you've got all the information you need. In terms of a mod…

I love this conundrum. I have a good analogy. 10 years ago, I was convinced that a 24-inch 1080p monitor at arm's length was perfection. There could never be any reason to improve …

Yes. Not a drug in the typical sense. Simply replacing the protein in which the mice are deficient (that was identified by measuring levels in human spinal fluid).

Peter often reiterates that he doesn't recommend the use of open models for OpenClaw. They're much weaker when it comes to prompt injection, being the main reason. I'd be intereste…

The joke is that Willie Nelson has used very high concentrations simultaneously frying his brain cells and staving off Alzheimer's.

at present, it's just a fun discussion the complexity of advanced connectomes is so far beyond our imaging capabilities that we have no way of knowing how far away from understandi…

see the open worm project to get an idea of what artificial neuronal architecture requires to express anything meaningful. (and an interesting ethical perspective on digital consci…

Ah, that's a good point.

This will be a Harvard Business case study on market share. Claude Code was instrumental for Anthropic. What's interesting is that people haven't heard of it/them outside of softwa…

It's impressive, even if the books and the posts you're talking about were both key parts of the training data. There are many academic domains where the research portion of a PhD …

This makes a lot of sense to me. I've heard Codex CLI called a scalpel, and this resonates. You wouldn't use a scalpel for a major carving project. To come back to my earlier comme…

That's a good point. I'm not familiar enough with the various moats to comment. I was just talking at a high level. If transformers are HDD technology, maybe there's SSD right arou…

Yes, I only plan/implement on fully AI projects where it's easy for me to tell whether or not they're doing the thing I want regardless of whether or not they've rewritten the code…

I'm suprised there isn't more "hope" in this area. Even things like the GPT Pro models; surely that sort of reasoning/synthesis will eventually make its way into local models. And …

I'd encourage you to try the -codex family with the highest reasoning. I can't comment on Opus in CC because I've never bit the bullet and paid the subscription, but I have worked …

Personally, I'm fascinated by the opening for protocol languages to become relevant. The previous generations of AI (AI in the academic sense) like JASON, when combined with a prot…
