Incorporating structural #plasticity in #SpikingNeuralNetworks ( #SNN) enables dynamic #synaptic connectivity, reflecting the #brain's adaptability. By modeling synaptic growth and pruning based on #calcium concentration, we can simulate processes such as #learning and #MemoryFormation. In this post, I reproduce the #NESTSimulator tutorial on structural plasticity, demonstrating its impact on network stability and #homeostasis:

🚨 Ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati just launched Tinker, a new service from Thinking Machines Lab.

Tinker strips AI training down to 4 simple functions — you focus on data + algorithms, it handles the GPU chaos.

Is this the Kubernetes moment for AI training?

Gary Marcus is onto something in here. Maybe true AGI is not so impossible to reach after all. Just probably not in the near future but likely within 20 years.

"For all the efforts that OpenAI and other leaders of deep learning, such as Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun, have put into running neurosymbolic AI, and me personally, down over the last decade, the cutting edge is finally, if quietly and without public acknowledgement, tilting towards neurosymbolic AI.

This essay explains what neurosymbolic AI is, why you should believe it, how deep learning advocates long fought against it, and how in 2025, OpenAI and xAI have accidentally vindicated it.

And it is about why, in 2025, neurosymbolic AI has emerged as the team to beat.

It is also an essay about sociology.

The essential premise of neurosymbolic AI is this: the two most common approaches to AI, neural networks and classical symbolic AI, have complementary strengths and weaknesses. Neural networks are good at learning but weak at generalization; symbolic systems are good at generalization, but not at learning."
