Thrilled to publish this in @thetransmitter.bsky.social - such a thoughtful platform for the conversations neuroscience needs to be having about AI, open science, and the future of our field.
With LLMs, researchers can develop software entirely through natural language conversations. This shift is transforming how research gets done, offering new opportunities and new challenges, writes Benjamin Dichter.

Data reuse represents an opportunity to accelerate science, reduce costs and increase the value of investments. But to date, the field hasn't placed equal emphasis on the reuse side of the data-sharing equation, writes @bendichter.com

Inspired by Max Bennett's Cosyne keynote, I just finished his book, "A Brief History of Intelligence." A wonderful read bringing together diverse fields into one cohesive story - highly recommend to neuroscientists, AI researchers, and anyone interested in the nature of intelligence.
