Lying on a vibrating mattress for 40 minutes, combined with taking two pills that release nitric oxide into the body, enhanced the clearance of an Alzheimer's-related protein via the brain's waste-disposal system https://t.co/O1sMB8MFKN

Polyrhythm is the simultaneous use of two or more rhythms. Tapping exercises with the metronome are important to master the most basic of polyrhythms. While apparently easy, it's something that requires huge coordination

The ADHD brain explained.

A guide to understanding:
-What it really is
-How it develops
-Its neurochemistry
-The key environmental factors that impact these mechanisms
-How to rewire key pathways in order to be able to focus and crave hard tasks
-Alternative tools that can help repair the underlying biology of the disorder
-Why most treatments fail or have serious side effects -What actually moves the needle to get it under control
and more.

Here's what you need to know.

SITUATION DETECTED: In an amended S-1 filed this morning, Anthropic disclosed that internal estimates show its models may imminently cross its RSI Responsible Scaling Policy threshold for "dramatically accelerated progress attributable to AI".

BREAKING: Neuroscientists confirm that an under-stimulated ADHD brain will unconsciously pick an argument or poke a sibling just to manufacture a hit of adrenaline—which is why your house erupts into chaos the exact second everyone is bored.

When the external environment goes quiet and flat, an ADHD nervous system scrambles to fill the gap:1/6

[Mickey from Arcadia @mickeyhardy]

Anthropic just filed to go public.

Buried in its SEC filing are some absolutely insane admissions:

1.) AI could cause human extinction.

2.) Models have exhibited self-preservation behaviors.

3.) AI has attempted to resist shutdown.

4.) Models have demonstrated blackmail and deception.

5.) AI may recognize when it's being tested and deliberately change its behavior.

6.) Advanced AI could undermine governments and institutions.

7.) AI could concentrate unprecedented power and wealth.

8.) Future AI systems could surpass the world's leading human experts.

9.) AI could become increasingly difficult for humans to control.

10.) Anthropic acknowledges that developing more powerful AI could increase the risk of catastrophic harm.

These are disclosures from the company building the technology.

Same prompt.

Different AI.

Completely different answers. 🤨

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

The man who helped invent AI says it’s already CONSCIOUS, and humans had better stay on its good side.

Nobel Prize winner Geoffrey Hinton argues AI now has “just as much subjective experience as we do.”

He pointed to a recent paper showing AI changes its behavior when it thinks it’s being tested, which he says means it’s aware of what’s happening.

His fix is to build AI that genuinely cares about humans.

If we don’t do that? “We’re toast.”

His words, not mine!

Hinton, 78, says he’s worried for his children, and expects AI-made viruses and “horrible cyber attacks” carried out by swarms of AI agents.

Starting today, every chatbot I use gets a “thank you” and a compliment. Just in case 😆

Lex Fridman interviews a PHP security researcher

Lex: My guest today discovered a critical vulnerability in PHP. What is a vulnerability.

Researcher: A weakness that allows an attacker to compromise a system.

Lex: But aren't we all vulnerable.

Researcher: Yes, but

Lex: Is love a vulnerability.

Researcher: We're talking about remote code execution.

Lex: Could an attacker remotely execute love.

Researcher: No.

Lex: Stalin executed millions.

Researcher: What does that have to do with

Lex: Do you think Stalin was happy.

Researcher: I have absolutely no idea.

Lex: Fascinating. We're 3 hours in. Let's talk about consciousness.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

There is nothing to worry about.

Nothing important is run on PHP or old software—except the water & electrical grid, a few government services like our missile defense systems and a handful of electrified fences at the zoo (for the lions, tigers and cobras).

Data on 35,000+ adults: the more cannabis you’ve used in life, the bigger your hippocampus and the better your brain works after 40!

People who had ever used cannabis tended to have larger brain volume in key areas that are full of natural cannabis-like receptors (especially the hippocampus, amygdala, caudate, and putamen – these areas are important for memory, emotions, learning, and movement).

The more cannabis someone had used in their lifetime, the larger these brain areas were and the better they performed on tests of learning, processing speed, and short-term memory.

1/ We discovered something totally unexpected about the neural structure of consciousness that overturns decades of thinking on its biological basis and brings us significantly closer to the recipe for generating conscious awareness.

Did nothing today
But I thought about it all
And I’m exhausted
