Today we're introducing TRIBE v2 (Trimodal Brain Encoder), a foundation model trained to predict how the human brain responds to almost any sight or sound.
Building on our Algonauts 2025 award-winning architecture, TRIBE v2 draws on 500+ hours of fMRI recordings from 700+ people to create a digital twin of neural activity and enable zero-shot predictions for new subjects, languages, and tasks.

Based on data from Our World in Data and Water Footprint Network, a typical US dairy cow uses about 15,000 gallons of drinking water per year. The total blue water footprint (irrigation) is around 227,000 gallons annually, mostly from feed like irrigated alfalfa—far more than just rainfall on pastures. For comparison, almond milk's blue water is ~371 liters per liter, heavily irrigation-dependent.

One of the most egregious examples of paid-for politicians forcibly holding back a wildly beneficial technology to protect corporate interests. It is an affront to freedom, stripping citizens of the option to spare animals and the environment in their meat consumption.

Made the mistake of posting something politically inflammatory (so stupid, Andrew).
Better, more constructive idea:
Give me the worst outcome that you’re most confident in and *you’d be willing to bet on happening* if your less desired candidate becomes president.

We don’t have telescopes yet capable to resolve all the planets in our solar system (we just recently found out how Pluto looks like after we sent a spacecraft close to it) let alone any exoplanets from other star systems. That won’t change in the next 50 years realistically 🤷🏻♂️

How about we make a deal.
1) No charts allowed of any kind
2) We show all of our holecards to the fans for the entire challenge.
We both give a little, the fans win.
Retweet if you want to see this.

Scientific American has never endorsed a presidential candidate in our 175-year history—until now.
The 2020 election is literally a matter of life and death. We urge you to vote for health, science and Joe Biden for President.
