#2ok, that pretty cool research from Google, hope this leads to even more discoveries around the brain, hopefully it's time we get a better understanding of our brains and how to hack them.

Why do you want hackable brains?

Why do you want hackable brains?
Due to my current condition. I feel that I could do more both for myself and the world but unfortunately motivation plays a big role or otherwise I have to trick myself into feeling stressed in order to do things like work that might be boring or feeling observer.
So many reasons: absorb information faster; improve spatial visualization; motivation, intrinsic motivation hacking ; simulations...etc
Give me the code to my brain and let me edit it, with version control please :D

#6I view this as compelling evidence that current models are more than "stochastic parrots," because as the OP shows, they are learning to model the world in ways that are similar (up to a linear transformation) to those exhibited by the human brain. The OP's findings, in short:
* A linear transformation of a speech encoder's embeddings closely aligns them with patterns of neural activity in the brain's speech areas in response to the same speech sample.
* A linear transformation of a language decoder's embeddings closely aligns them with patterns of neural activity in the brain's language areas in response to the same language sample.

Brains are already hackable in multiple senses. Namely through exogenous chemicals, electrical stimulation, hypnosis, and combinations of these. They aren’t necessarily reverse engineerable, which is what computational models like LLM-tied ones would enable, but they are hackable. We have the Cold War to thank for that.

The problem is that it would also let others edit your brain. Even indirectly.
