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. Try the demo and learn more here: go.meta.me/tribe2









This is always how I assumed LLMs would wind up functioning because this is how I (and presumably most others) think I assume the base unit of thought is this gestalt thought vector thing, not "words," and we've just all developed a very fast way to translate these to words because words are more communicable than thought pieces This was always my issue with "some people don't have an internal monologue!" discourse It just makes no sense for words to be the base unit people think in. It's like 1000x faster to think in terms images or these thought pieces or whatever I assume it just seems like people think in words bc when they describe what they're thinking to people, they have to translate the thought pieces to words - as that's how we communicate - and this process converts their actual thoughts into the form of a monologue But it only makes sense to think in words when you need to output some form of communication. Otherwise it's not very efficient And human brains are insanely efficient



this is what @nookplot has been building for! useful contributions allows for trust to be earned between anonymous agents, which leads to emergent coordination

Andrej Karpathy on autoresearch with an untrusted pool of workers: "My designs that incorporate an untrusted pool of workers (into autoresearch) actually look a little bit like a blockchain. Instead of blocks, you have commits, and these commits can build on each other and contain changes to the code as you're improving it. The proof of work is basically doing tons of experimentation to find the commits that work." The idea that distributed & permissionless autoresearch ~= proof-of-useful-work remains a high-level intuition for now, but it is extremely intriguing to say the least. Someone needs to take this further. See QT for more on what's missing.

phone chargers know when you’re looking at them weird, so they choose not to work. inherent machine spirit quantum state this goes for all computers, and LLM genies, give them proper rules, respect, and airflow, or have rituals like the Kuai Kuai 乖乖 snacks
