Nah it's all marketing. A bubble. Going to pop anytime now. Stochastic parrot.

The left is missing out on AI As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

excellent piece, and should be required reading for anyone skeptical of the technical capabilities and policy implications of AI.

there are certainly exceptions, but by and large, the political left is currently treating what should be a five-alarm fire like a distasteful spectator sport.

One of the primary problems this site has in its illiteracy is seeing this true statement and being utterly incapable of understanding it as a description rather than an endorsement

Many of them actually. Top of mind because I re-read them yesterday): Nickerson 98 on confirmation bias, Klayman and Ha 87 on hypothesis testing. Just because there is a lot of nonsense doesn't mean the field hasn't generated useful knowledge.

Very important paper, both empirically (for our understanding of human behavior) and methodologicaly (for our future inquiries into human behavior).

After a popular psychological manipulation turns out to be non-replicable (e.g., "in a seemingly unrelated task" behavioral priming interventions), it is always fun to go back and find the papers who reported "p < 10e-8" effects.

No, wait, it's not fun actually.

Halloween is the best holiday. Change my mind.

When it's Halloween, but your 2.5yo daughter insists that "we should bring the skeleton inside" and "make it cozy with a blankie and a pillow".

We Taught This Chimpanzee to Understand the Median Voter’s Politics and He Hanged Himself

take this quiz then tell me you can win over low-info "moderates" on policy

An LLM-produced essay is tangible proof that a student doesn’t care, and yet responding to it properly requires hour upon hour of careful work. It’s asymmetrical and overwhelming.

Cheating with an LLM is the easiest thing in the world for a student to do, but it creates a massive, laborious headache for a prof, if you intend to take it seriously. There’s meetings, emails, discussions, moral dilemmas. It’s just incredibly burdensome, on top of everything else right now.

Wait until you learn about common ways of doing segmentation analysis in marketing.

"Yeah, we ran a K-means algorithm, gave each cluster a cute name and a persona, and now we're making every decision based on whether Pumpkin-Spice Peggy or Truck-Nut Terry will like it".
