In 1937, Turkey’s leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk gave the 3rd Aircraft Regiment, stationed in İzmir, a rather unusual mission – to photograph ancient cities, especially those in the Aegean Region, from the air.

Check out @bkhmsi.bsky.social's summary of our new paper:

We identify "language network" units in LLMs using neuroscience approaches and show that ablating these units (but not random ones) drastically impair LLM language performance--moreover, these units better align with human brain data.
🚨 New Paper!

Can neuroscience localizers uncover brain-like functional specializations in LLMs? 🧠🤖

Yes! We analyzed 18 LLMs and found units mirroring the brain's language, theory of mind, and multiple demand networks!

A nice summary of the state of the scientific debate around AGI at the moment. @melaniemitchell.bsky.social says there's no theoretical reason that biological entities should be privileged in developing intelligence but @annaciaunica.bsky.social has me wondering about that.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."
