I’m a professional philosopher and amateur neuroscientist. After philosophically discovering how the brain works, a friend gave me a penny for my thoughts.

Strange how "news" proliferates. I read this theory 15 years ago. It still makes sense: sciencedaily.com/releases/20…

Another good one. Speaks to my efforts in neuroscience, the consequences of which become more radical every day:

A useful approximation, but not the whole story:

A taste of what's ahead for Terafab and SI in orbit:
In 2016, I laughed out loud when Elon promised Full Self-Driving.
After 15 years building ADAS perception, I knew it was impossible.
I was right. It was impossible: six breakthroughs didn’t exist yet.
So I turned another article (the one @elonmusk reposted🙏) into a video🎥👇

Like restarting a game after permadeath, but at the cost of experience. Exciting for research, but the value of a neuron is in the connections it's made over a lifetime, the gnoledge it's acquired: uni-bonn.de/en/news/211-2026
