LLMs are deeply biased: "Here, we demonstrate that language models embody covert racism in the form of dialect prejudice, exhibiting raciolinguistic stereotypes about speakers of African American English (AAE) that are more negative than any human stereotypes about African

The prompt used in the paper 'People Cannot Distinguish GPT-4 from a Human in a Turing Test' is quite revealing about humans. tldr: "Be dumb"

In 2017, Max Kleiman-Weiner and I worked on a Bayesian model for how children learn to calibrate effort from adult models. We never published the cogsci paper (didn't want to scoop myself at the time), so putting it on PsyArXiv now for all to see! osf.io/preprints/psya…

An awesome empirical study of cumulative culture

1/ "Cooperate or Collapse” This paper introduces GovSim, a generative simulation platform designed to test *cooperation* & decision-making in LLMs. It explores how AI agents can manage shared resources while avoiding the Tragedy of the Commons. arxiv.org/abs/2404.16698

Taylor Swift is still bigger than NeurIPS...

google ai LOVES to step in when it sees “vs” and will try its hardest to compare whatever you throw at it

I feel like the critique that the physics Nobel is going to computer science misunderstands the culture of physics. They aren’t ceding the prize to cs, they’re claiming it as a branch of physics

[Please retweet!] My paper, 'Cognitive Representations of Social Relationships and their Developmental Origins" has been accepted at Behavioral and Brain Sciences! I'm thrilled to be able to engage with people's commentary! Please consider writing one! osf.io/preprints/psya…

Looking back to 2012: “In a big network of computers, evidence of machine learning” nytimes.com/2012/06/26/tec…

I couldn't resist. Since this week seems to be a lot about the boundaries between AI and physics, I couldn't help but notice that economic complexity also seems to fit the mold :-)

Thinking back over this incredibly powerful image.

Incredible things are happening in the world of love

I am really beyond words to be able to share with the world what Michiel Bakker, summerfieldlab @summerfieldlab.bsky.social, and I and a truly world-class team Google DeepMind worked on for the past 2 years. Out today in Science Magazine, “AI can help humans find common ground in democratic deliberation”

OpenAI is threatening to trigger their vaunted "AGI Achieved" loophole mostly to get out of the Microsoft contract and have leverage to renegotiate compute prices We're living through a cyberpunk workplace comedy plotline
