Last month Dawkins declared Claude conscious and was mocked. @GaryMarcus cleverly called it The Claude Delusion. My (and Nagel's?) take: Both are wrong for the same reason. Here's an essay on why machine consciousness will never be settled scientifically. arxiv.org/abs/2606.00226

Every time you experience something new, your brain faces a decision: Should it update an existing memory or create a new one? In our new paper in @JNeurosci, we isolate that exact decision, moment-by-moment during learning. 🧵

Personally, I will be looking to mentor projects with Mahindra Rautela on (1) Search and Evaluation for test-time AI Reasoning, and (2) model distillation to compress large physics foundation models. Please feel free to get in touch with questions or to express interest. 2/2

Intuitive cell types don't necessarily play the ascribed functional role in the overall computation. This is not a message the field wants to hear as it suggests better baselines, controls, and some reflection. elifesciences.org/reviewed-p…... w @ken_lxl , @robmok.bsky.social @ 2/2

Exciting "new" work illustrating our broken publishing system. @seb_bobadilla presented this work online at neuromatch 2.0 at the height of the pandemic. Then, @xinyazhang_ worked years on addressing reviewer comments, which added some rigor but didn't change the message. 1/2

Working with monkey data, we found neural representations stretched across brain regions to emphasize task relevant features on a trial-by-trial basis. Spike timing mattered over spike rate. Deep nets did the same. nature.com/articles/s41467-0… 2/2

Researchers are using LLMs to analyze the literature, brainstorm hypotheses, build models and interact with complex datasets. Hear from Martin Schrimpf @martin_schrimpf, Kim Stachenfeld @neuro_kim, Jeremy Magland, Bradley Love and others. thetransmitter.org/machine-l…

New blog w @ken_lxl, “Giving LLMs too much RoPE: A limit on Sutton’s Bitter Lesson”. The field has shifted from flexible data-driven position representations to fixed approaches following human intuitions. Here’s why and what it means for model performance bradlove.org/blog/position-e…

New blog, "Backwards Compatible: The Strange Math Behind Word Order in AI" w @ken_lxl. It turns out the language learning problem is the same for any word order, but is that true in practice for large language models? paper: arxiv.org/abs/2505.08739 BLOG: bradlove.org/blog/prob-llm-c…

"Probability Consistency in Large Language Models: Theoretical Foundations Meet Empirical Discrepancies" Oddly, we prove LLMs should be equivalent for any word ordering: forward, backward, scrambled. In practice, LLMs diverge from one another. Why? 1/2 arxiv.org/abs/2505.08739

When LLMs diverge from one another because of word order (data factorization), it indicates their probability distributions are inconsistent, which is a red flag (not trustworthy). We trace deviations to self-attention positional and locality biases. 2/2 arxiv.org/abs/2505.08739

Bonus: I found it counterintuitive that (in theory) the learning problem is the same for any word ordering. Aligning proof and simulation was key. Now, new avenues open to address positional biases, better training and knowing when to trust LLMs w @ken_lxl, @ramscar1, @XinyiXu6
