Far more animals than previously recognized might be conscious, according to a declaration signed earlier this month by dozens of scientists and philosophers. @danfalk explores for @QuantaMagazine: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…
Nice coverage of why we @birchlse @jeffrsebo decided to organize a statement about the strong scientific support for consciousness in mammals and birds and a realistic possibility of it in other animals, including insects—& why we need more research on bug brains and behavior.

I recently spoke with Marco Britto Soares for this story on The New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness (in Portuguese). As I note in the story, policymakers who consider insect welfare have the potential to improve trillions of lives in the future. umsoplaneta.globo.com/energia/notici…

Nice coverage of why we @birchlse @jeffrsebo decided to organize a statement about the strong scientific support for consciousness in mammals and birds and a realistic possibility of it in other animals, including insects—& why we need more research on bug brains and behavior.

Personally if I’m getting body slammed on my college campus by cops I’m going to yell out “I am alienated from my labor and my fellow man and condemn the goons of capital” but not everyone is on my level.
@jeffrsebo @TheAtlantic @danfalk @QuantaMagazine And with an improved headline too.
My recent story on animal #Consciousness for @QuantaMagazinewas was picked up by @TheAtlantic
Do models need to reason in words to benefit from chain-of-thought tokens? In our experiments, the answer is no! Models can perform on par with CoT using repeated '...' filler tokens. This raises alignment concerns: Using filler, LMs can do hidden reasoning not visible in CoT🧵
Another thing to note here: the fact that this variant causes mild symptoms in cows thus far doesn't mean that will be true in all mammals.
UPDATE: Another cat has tested positive for H5N1 bird flu at a dairy farm in New Mexico. So far, at least 7 cats have been infected in the current outbreak. All of them died.
