Shared neural geometries for bilingual semantic representations. Hippocampal neurons encode a language-independent internal model for meaning. Many thanks to the whole BCM team!!! https://t.co/MYHFIURD5a

I'm recruiting PhD students to join my new lab in Fall 2026! The Shared Minds Lab at @USC will combine deep learning and ecological human neuroscience to better understand how we communicate our thoughts from one brain to another.

https://t.co/GiJQln6vXH broken academia system. AI became the reviewers for your grant proposal !? “It is difficult to find good reviewers, and if they have a big workload they won’t do it,” of course no one want to review the proposals for free.

There's a shocking fact about AI that nobody tells you: You can catch up to the public AI research frontier in just 2 weeks. Yes, really. I've built a $150M annual revenue startup over the last 8 years and If I were to start a company today, I’d drop everything and go all-in on
