So amazing to be part of this sick project!

[1/8] Excited to present our work "ConnectomeBench: Can LLMs proofread the connectome?" at NeurIPS 2025 Datasets and Benchmarks!

copyright law seems actively anti-human at this point. I still can't have full-text search over the world's books, but because the LLM providers are de facto allowed to train on them, the incentives point me to read bastardized LLM-paraphrases vs direct quotes from human authors

one more then I'm off to the pub

@BingBongBrent Sick!! How does it work under the hood?

[Tim Farkas @FarkasTim]

Impact is iteratively solving ever larger problems

[Tim Farkas @FarkasTim]

@gleb_razgar if we define techno-humanism as technologically accelerating that what current/future/evolved humans would see as valuable we agree that it's the only good thing?

[Tim Farkas @FarkasTim]

@byersblake cool that you are building this and good luck but boooh for not giving credit to @isaakfreeman @h_rosengarten2 who you got the idea from

integrity pays off in the long run!

@LeeCorning @euacchq the eu/acc meme has reached them

@TylerAlterman one sec

[Tim Farkas @FarkasTim]

just became a lot more bearish on BCI - even at the recently accelerated pace, electrode interfaces with just 1% of the human cortex still seems wildly out of reach...
how can we reach actual cortex-scale interfacing 50 years sooner?

[Tim Farkas @FarkasTim]

@IvanVendrov (directed) graphs are great for mapping to hierarchies, networks, causal chains

@louis030195 damn respect, that's 1 book read every 3 days!
what would you say is the optimal frequency to optimize not only *no. of books read* but also content learned/absorbed / pondered on a deeper level? is 3 days optimal?

[Tim Farkas @FarkasTim]

IMO, GPT-type world modeling is necessary but most likely not sufficient for AGI. LLMs excel in pattern completion but they lack a coherent self-representation and they can only *simulate* agency. (which may never converge onto *having* human-like agency in the current paradigm)

[Tim Farkas @FarkasTim]

@ChShersh Like the 80:20 of each of the five individually. If you say that's covered by learning CS, how much CS?

[Tim Farkas @FarkasTim]

@dankuntz X should generally allow individualised tweaking of the algorithm
