Description: The episode discusses the paper "From Observation to Intervention: Memory in Brains and Large Language Models." The hosts explain that while brains offer rich observation but limited intervention, LLMs allow for direct manipulation of weights and stores. The paper proposes a reverse pipeline: using LLM interventions to generate testable hypotheses for biological memory research.
