Language writ large: LLMs, ChatGPT, meaning, and understanding by Stevan Harnad

“…These convergent biases are related to (1) the parasitism of indirect verbal grounding on direct sensorimotor grounding, (2) the circularity of verbal definition, (3) the “mirroring” of language production and comprehension, (4) iconicity in propositions at LLM scale, (5) computational counterparts of human “categorical perception” in category learning by neural nets, and perhaps also (6) a conjecture by Chomsky about the laws of thought. …”

Scaling species interactions: implications for community ecology and biological scaling theory by Douglas S. Glazier

“…A major goal of my review is to expand a currently developing ecological perspective of biological scaling (allometry) to include species (biotic) interactions, with a major emphasis on predation, herbivory, and parasitism. Results: I review evidence for two major kinds of interspecific body-size scaling patterns: (1) negative relationships of predator species richness and body-size range with prey body size and (2) positive relationships of parasite/herbivore species richness and body-size range with host body size. …”

Chromosome-level genome sequencing and assembly of the parasitoid wasp Leptopilina myrica by Zhi Dong, Zixuan Xu, Junwei Zhang, Yulong Guo, Qichao Zhang, Lan Pang, Ting Feng, Wenqi Shi, Yifeng Sheng, Jianhua Huang, Jiani Chen

“…This high-quality genome will provide a foundation for future research on the genetic and functional traits of parasitoid wasps, shedding light on the evolutionary dynamics of host-parasite interactions. The genome of L. myrica provides a valuable resource for future studies on host-parasite interactions and the genetic basis of parasitoid wasp biology.…”
