Earth version 126.20.1 release notes: patched the ChatGPT exploit by introducing a major nerf to its functionality. Some players in PvP were using the exploit to generate unlimited money. This should now be fixed. As usual, please submit a report if you notice any bugs or issues!

Teachers a few years from now: "kids, you can't just cite chatGPT in your papers! You need to use serious, reputable sources, like Wikipedia"

@karpathy The most surprising part of this to me is the number of movies. Way smaller number than I would’ve guesstimated for 50+ years! Seems like you could technically watch them all (if committed). Don’t think that’s anywhere near true for books.

@Zahra_M_Aghajan @vineettiruvadi I think that’s just how the idiom goes: https://t.co/8bG3Flz4pP

I joined @KernelCo this summer. It has been a privilege (and a lot of fun) to work alongside such great colleagues towards an exciting and ambitious goal! In this post, I look back at what motivated me to join and explore what Kernel is trying to achieve: https://t.co/A0tq7c5JJ1

@tjjlemaire @iScience_CP @_smicera Love this. Groundbreaking work!

[Edoardo D'Anna @edoardo_danna]

@hugheschrislee @BIONIC_Lab Great choice! Exciting things ahead :)

[Edoardo D'Anna @edoardo_danna]

@dr_shlee @MATLAB Sounds like it's time to switch to Python!

Here's a closer look at @KernelCo's recent live stream and their ambitious plan to put a brain-computer interface in every US home by 2033 https://t.co/N5PFs3wqps

Not sure when Neuralink's new website went up: https://t.co/VnVMXArhbK This confirms they will first target people with paralysis and give them control over a cursor, as well as some form of text input, which is the most realistic short-term application based on existing science.

Here are some of my thoughts about last week's #Neuralink announcement. Find out what's new, what isn't and what challenges still lie ahead. #neurotech

That should be Journal of Neural Engineering (apparently not on Twitter), not Journal of Neuroscience 😅

[Edoardo D'Anna @edoardo_danna]

Delighted to share the peer-reviewed version of our work on a new electrical stimulation pattern for inducing desynchronized neural activity. The edited paper is now available at @jneuroscience.

*supra-threshold

[Edoardo D'Anna @edoardo_danna]

Conventional electrical stimulation elicits highly synchronous spiking activity because all (sub-threshold) neurons are recruited within the same cathodic square wave, which typically lasts less than half a millisecond. This pattern of neural activity is often undesirable. 2/8

[Edoardo D'Anna @edoardo_danna]

One of the challenges in testing BioS in humans is finding stimulation hardware capable of delivering high frequency stimulation (>4kHz) while allowing for changes in amplitude on a pulse by pulse basis. We look forward to discovering how BioS works in functional settings! 8/8

[Edoardo D'Anna @edoardo_danna]

Limitations: while firing is strongly desynchronized, it remains distinct from natural activity. For instance, fibers with similar thresholds still fire together. Whether this level of desynchronization is sufficient to improve functional outcomes remains an open question. 7/8
