I will be joining Patrick House (@patrick__house) on stage at the Warwick Arts Centre in Coventry on 23rd October. Patrick, a neuroscientist and writer, is known for his work on free will and consciousness. After our discussion, there will be a Q&A session. I look forward to what promises to be an engaging evening, and I hope to see you there.

LIFE AS NO ONE KNOWS IT is out TODAY! And, I’m especially excited for three things (1) inspiring thoughts/debate on the fundamental nature of life (2) catalyzing discussion on how we might solve it and (3) your thoughts! (photo from the fab @caitlin_oh)

Large language models can seem to do more than what we ask them to; they exhibit something that we might call creativity if a human did it. But what is actually happening in these moments? nyer.cm/YzlmSes

The neuroscientist Patrick House is a brilliant writer and thinker, and his tribute here to @Mobius_Games' Outer Wilds sits alongside those of @RonanFarrow and @joshscherr as a perfect encapsulation of what makes this piece of work so special:
Next week's guest is the neuroscientist and writer @patrick__house. Take four minutes out of your day to listen to Patrick movingly discuss the video game that, in his view, was released into the world with the "perfection of a bird's egg":

It's baffling to me that some of y'all see stuff in your mind. You SEE it? The way your eyes see? I always thought "visualize" meant thinking of the words/ideas/feelings associated with a thing, not actual visuals.
I am such a total 5 on this scale I didn't know 1-4 existed.
