Amazing that this great study by

specific psychological categories (like the self or social processes) but
instead are better thought of as acting like grid cells

as a way to communicate limits of genetic predictions at the individual level &
the complexity of links between DNA & behaviour:

A great thread on one of the biggest challenges in NeuroAI. However, I wonder
whether one way to identify better models of the brain is to go back to
behavior. There are still many failure conditions for vision models. E.g., shape
perception, spatial, and analogical reasoning etc.

The data babies use is much smaller than LLM data but it reflects their own
active attempts to understand the world and their interactions with the people
around them. The still very limited models can take advantage of this, but that
doesn’t mean that they themselves have those abilities.
