A brief rant: Is there any reason to use the word "murine," besides sounding fancy and scientific? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't think of any context in which you'd lose something by just writing "mouse."

For decades I've argued that a key test of innateness hypotheses (e.g., Chomsky on language) is whether an AI could learn to speak & think like people with no innate structure. @garymarcus argues that GPT-2 is now providing that test. thegradient.pub/gpt2-and-the-n…
