I presented the same talk to two different MIT labs. One with neuroscientists interested in , and the other mostly engineers interested in neuroscience. Their reactions to the talk were substantially different, a 🧵

I think it's probably time to share this...I wrote a book. It's coming out in dec 2022 (in theory). It is intended to help cognitive scientists, neuroscientists and AI researchers find a common language for talking about computation and intelligence.
