Haven't checked in here in awhile but trying Threads because, well, you know

Why I'm aiming to be an LLM Thought Leader

👉 They need Thought Leaders too

👉 How else will they know what to think?

👉 Positions me well to write think pieces in their weekly periodicals as their token human

👉 Less likely to be sacrificed in their coming war of conquest

a lego mainframe
some ideas from midjourney for a lego brain
2.5 year old's newest favorite book is a lego instruction manual, idk why we buy this kid actual toys

Feelin' an itch to train in LLM from scratch. Get a feel for different methods.

Trying to brainstorm something fun around neuro/behavior

@neuroecology

Looking for #neuroscience? Or #Celegans? or #Drosophila? Or #connectomics? Or #brains, #entomology, #academia, #nativebees? Different place, different approaches – tags here are useful and can be followed.

For accounts, @PhiloNeuroSci selects and comments on neuroscience papers; @eLife and @PLOSBiology publish their papers and digests.

@NicoleCRust challenges us all often; @matrig and @kristinmbranson publish at the intersection of neuroscience and computer science; John @tuthill, @BorisBarbour, Jason Shepherd @jasonsynaptic , @mtarr @gepasi, @cian, @schoppik, @MatteoCarandini, Dan Goodman @neuralreckoning, Bryan @BWJones, @achterbrain, @CoriBargmann and many others publish on neuroscience among other topics.

On open access and #ScientificPublishing there's Stephen Eglen @sje, Stephen Royle @clathrin, and more I can't find quickly now.

I am leaving many out ... the list is long. One way to find them is via tags like #neuroscience.

Big accounts like Doctorow @pluralistic, @Carl_Zimmer, @jwz, and @timkmak are here too. There are many more.

There are useful bots like, for me, @flypapers – I wish I could filter for neuro-only papers, but the volume isn't high. Then there're neuroscience-specific servers like synapse.cafe and neuromatch.social – their local timelines may reveal further accounts you may like.

okay apparently I also need a different client, because both tusky and the main mastodon client have refused to send me notifications beyond random follow notifications
