- Reposted by Love & PhilosophyI wonder how much disagreement comes from some folks interpreting “X does Y” as “X only does Y and Y is only done by X”, while others interpret it as “X is an important part of the Y process”? I suspect some, but not all.
- Reposted by Love & Philosophy🧠 New preprint: Why do deep neural networks predict brain responses so well? We find a striking dissociation: it’s not shared object recognition. Alignment is driven by sensitivity to texture-like local statistics. 📊 Study: n=57, 624k trials, 5 models doi.org/10.1101/2025...
