Large language models change everything for linguistics, starting with Chomsky. Featuring: LLMs as scientific theories, response to prior takes, "why" questions in language, acquisition... and how the field should have seen this coming. Paper is here: lingbuzz.net/lingbuzz/007180

Predictions in brains and large language models: Our latest and is out at Nature Human Behavior: go.nature.com/3SKb3gX By, once again, our wonderful team @c_caucheteux and @agramfort
New in Nature Human Behavior, Meta AI researchers show how current language models differ from the human brain & highlight the role of long-range & hierarchical predictions. We hope these findings will help inform the next generation of AI ➡️ go.nature.com/3SKb3gX

Glad to share our #ICML2022 paper “Neural Language Models are not Born Equal to Fit Brain Data, but Training Helps”. In this work, we investigated the factors driving NLM's ability to fit fMRI brain data. With @lakretz, John Hale, @BertrandThirion, @chrplr arxiv.org/abs/2207.03380

Everyone seems to think it's absurd that large language models (or something similar) could show anything like human intelligence and meaning. But it doesn’t seem so crazy to me. Here's a dissenting 🧵 from cognitive science.

The efficiency put by institutions in breaking sci-hub seems to dwarf that put in funding science. It reveals how morally bankrupt the institutional elite is. Protecting interests leeching off science is more important than science. (I am failing to find a working sci-hub URL)

I could write jokes for 800 years and I'd never think of something funnier than Trump booking the Four Seasons for his big presser, and it turning out to be the Four Seasons Total Landscaping parking lot between a dildo store and a crematorium.

Many journalists and political leaders in France explain that the pandemic is growing faster than expected. Here are the daily new cases in France since May 11th (end of the lockdown), log scale. How could it be more predictable? Where is the surprise?

J'avais été prodigieusement irrité par un "cours" d'épistémologie de Monsieur Raoult qui était d'une inculture crasse. Merci à @CovaFlorian de remettre les pendules à l'heure !
Mon article sur la "philosophie des sciences" de Didier Raoult est en ligne sur Medium. Plongez avec moi dans les méandres de l'épistémologie bourrée du fameux professeur marseillais : link.medium.com/9JWH3lOY48

Absolutely beautiful video created using still images taken by the Cassini spacecraft during its flyby of Jupiter and while at Saturn. Shown is Io and Europa over Jupiter's Great Red Spot and then Titan as it passes over Saturn and it's edge-on rings. NASA/JPL/Kevin M. Gill
