As far as I understand (granted, I don't understand that much, but...) there is a legitimate and actively debated position in philosophy of mind and cognitive science regarding ant colonies.
That is, colony-level cognition may be real, not metaphorical. Ant colonies:
- integrate information over time
- exhibit memory (via pheromone landscapes)
- solve optimisation problems
- adapt flexibly to novel conditions
- show something like attention (resource …

”My argument is that the current structure of public conversation has the same effect on human cognition that a botnet has on a web server. It's simply exhausting you. And an exhausted mind defaults to heuristics and tribal allegiances, aka whatever position allows it to conserve the most cognitive energy.”

”What I do know is that the feeling of being overwhelmed, of never being able to keep up, of having strong opinions about everything and confident understanding of nothing, is n…

Cognition releases SWE-1.5, a new coding model in Windsurf, saying it partnered with Cerebras to serve SWE-1.5 at speeds up to 13x faster than Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Cognition)

Cognition | Introducing SWE-1.5: Our Fast Agent Model
Today we’re releasing SWE-1.5, the latest in our family of models optimized for software engineering. It is a frontier-size model with hundreds of billions of parameters that achieves near-SOTA coding performance. It also sets a new standard for speed: we partnered with Cerebras to serve it at up to 950 tok/s – 6x faster than Haiku 4.5 and 13x faster than Sonnet 4.5. SWE-1.5 is now available in Windsurf!

There’s other reasons as well, but at its core it doesn’t even _try_ to model intelligence or cognition

Epistemological Fault Lines Between Human and Artificial Intelligence
Large language models (LLMs) are widely described as artificial intelligence, yet their epistemic profile diverges sharply from human cognition. Here we show that the apparent alignment between human and machine outputs conceals a deeper structural mismatch in how judgments are produced. Tracing the historical shift from symbolic AI and information filtering systems to large-scale generative transformers, we argue that LLMs are not epistemic agents but stochastic pattern-completion systems, for…

I can foresee website hosting plans being split into "browser only" (requiring proof-of-work/proof-of-cognition cookies) and "open" (to bots, including archives and search engine indexers).
The AI scrapers (and, to some extent, many more unauthorised pen-testers) have made dynamic websites far more expensive to run over the last year or two.

Natural brain opioids help us 'see the bigger picture' after rewards
Feeling good doesn't just lift our mood—it also helps us stay flexible and resilient. A new study by an international team of neuroscientists shows that natural brain opioids released after rewards play a key role in broadening attention, offering fresh insights into stress, cognition, and well-being.
