@cyrilpedia nice piece. Good movements. I would think that increasing funding for creating AI standards would be easier than a new agency.

Postdoc job in Bristol with Jeff Bowers, Ben Evans and me. We're going to look into how much learning you can do without modifying synaptic weights in spiking neurons. Likely important in the brain and relatively less studied theoretically.

If you like my neural heterogeneity paper (http://neural-reckoning.org/pub_heterogeneity.html) you'd probably like this project too.

Not news, but stumbled upon a Nicholas Florko piece about how Trump officials lobbied AGAINST giving states additional funding for vaccine roll out and pandemic response in the fall of 2020. WTF?

Heading up the effort was HHS's Paul Mango, WH's Russ Vought.

"Without the extra money, states spent last October and November rationing the small pot of federal dollars they had been given. And when vaccines began shipping in December, states seemed woefully underprepared."

Watching the CNRS bureaucracy interact with the European Commission bureaucracy is really impressive.

NEW: In @ScienceMagazine today, our latest peer-reviewed research shows Exxon scientists predicted global warming with shocking skill & accuracy between 1977 & 2003, contradicting the company's decades of climate denial. THREAD.

A collection of the papers for the @ICAHDQ 2022 preconference “What Comes After Disinformation Studies” is now online, published by the Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life. It critiques the current disinformation discourse.

Involved in the preconference and special issue were @kreissdaniel, Meredith Clark, @alicetiara, Sylvain Parasie, Rachel Kuo, Elaine Schnabel, @shannimcg, and yours truly.

1. Florida teachers are being told to remove all books from their classroom libraries OR FACE FELONY PROSECUTION

The new policy is based on the premise that teachers are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies.
