AI is growing exponentially at a timescale of months while the economy is growing at a timescale of decades. How should we model the economy with rapidly increasing intelligence tech and slowly increasing physical tech? New AI+econ paper.

"Electrodes are held on the scalp of the patient by an arrangement of rubber and whalebone bars tied under the chin (fig. 1). A most suitable cap is one made for setting waves in hair. It is not necessary to shave the scalp, though the examination is easier if the hair is short and recently washed."

Super cool resource for robotics research
Very excited about our new pre-print on an open-source package that I developed with some of my GT labmates!

🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity!
We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have:
(1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs)
(2) better hand dexterity
(3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵
