An intellectually deep and beautifully written essay on consciousness and AI, by neuroscientist Anil Seth | Why consciousness is more likely a property of life than of computation and why creating conscious, or even conscious-seeming AI, is a bad idea | @anilkseth in @NoemaMag noemamag.com/the-mythology-o… noemamag.com/the-mythology-o…

Natural experiment alert!
Golden, CO is experimenting with 32 hour work weeks for their police officers. Same pay, less hours, more efficiency.
We'll see what it does for their health!
Does anyone know of a service that could measure that? 😝

The best book I've read on how anyone can learn the tactics of the most successful students. Practical but backed by the latest science, Outsmart Your Brain is an onramp to the virtuous cycle of interest, confidence, and achievement.
Bravo @DTWillingham!

Huge kudos to longtime grantees @SPARC_NA and @OSFramework that led efforts to free federally-funded research from paywalls and ensure data from such projects is accessible. These reforms build on our goals to improve the transparency, reproducibility & integrity of research.

Along with Noam Chomsky, Lila Gleitman upended linguistics by showing that the structure of language is hard-wired in the human brain from birth. She has died at 91. nyti.ms/3sRhbqy

Very important new findings revealing nationwide racial/ethnic disparities on the bar exam released by the ABA with thoughtful remarks by @TheEdLawProf of @AccessLexInst. This report speaks to @MindsetsinLegal's findings about the effect of cut scores in California as well.
Important data released by the American Bar Association supports our analysis in California: use of the bar exam results in disparate impact by racial group. Great, insightful commentary by Aaron Taylor (@TheEdLawProf) of @AccessLexInst in the article.
