[Valerio Capraro @ValerioCapraro]

The Pope is making exactly our point. LLMs “may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand.”

This is the core epistemic fault line.

Most AI evaluation is still based on one assumption: if a system statistically approximates human behaviour, then it is close to human intelligence.

But approximation is not intelligence.
Simulation is not understanding.

LLMs can produce the right answer without knowing why it is right. They can simulate empathy without feeling. They can imitate judgment without responsibility. They can generate coherent explanations without having a world to which those explanations are accountable.

Stop confusing behavioural similarity with cognitive equivalence.

Human understanding is embodied, affective, relational, motivational, and normative. It is not just the production of plausible text.

The biggest bullshit move by DHS in its history. So everyone on a O1 or H1B visa would have to stop working legally in the US, go back to their country and wait for years of backlog? This includes top scientists in our universities, founders of billion dollar companies (at least 3 just in our portfolio would be affected by the way). And if we look at individual countries it becomes even more bs. Indians would have to wait decades. Russians don’t have anywhere to go (there is no US embassy in Russia, hello?).

This is the worst imaginable way to disrupt important work for the country and pretend you’re fighting some loophole.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @WhiteHouse: Your new stupid Green Card policy will help competitors such as China and Russia. The U.S. will have a significant exodus of top researchers, scientists, and industry leaders in multiple fields, ranging from medicine to technology to advanced manufacturing.

Breaking news: The Trump administration will require most foreigners seeking green cards to apply from outside the U.S., a shift that lawyers said could affect thousands of people who file applications each year while living in America on temporary visas. https://t.co/pgwTKtf9gr

We are hiring! We are specifically looking for a postgraduate associate - someone who has recently finished university and is ultimately looking to apply to medical school or graduate school.

It is a TWO YEAR clinical/translational position, where you will be interacting closely with patients, involved in translational clinical trials, and working hands on in the lab and with clinical databases.

The ideal candidate is a great communicator, organized, and enthusiastic about patient-oriented clinical and lab research. You will get dedicated mentoring not just on the science and clinic, but also on career/professional development as well.

We are looking for someone to start ASAP! More information here:

I am horrified by the deadly attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego, an apparent act of anti-Muslim violence.

Islamophobia endangers Muslim communities across this country. We must confront it directly and stand together against the politics of fear and division. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire community grieving this devastating attack.

The NYPD is increasing deployments to mosques across the city out of an abundance of caution. There are currently no known threats to NYC houses of worship.

Surprised to discover that Thermo Fisher appears to show a fake western blot for the validation of one of their p53 antibodies. I've added a diagram to show the very similar bands. This does not appear to be one of the "published figures", but their own internal data.
