“Our own studies everywhere from Nebraska and Texas to Illinois and Georgia show that even a few hours of instruction substantially boost students' ability to make wise choices about what to believe online.”
Nadav Ziv and Sam Wineburg: How to save Wikipedia from AI
AI amputates information from its source, so internet users must continue to look for citations and click through to original sources.

This article explores anecdotes of instructor uses of #GenAI that, to me, fall on a continuum from likely benign (i.e., help w/brainstorming course materials) to likely harmful (i.e., poorly developed chatbots students use) to dangerous & unethical (i.e., GenAI grading w/no instructor supervision).
AI Has Joined the Faculty
More instructors are teaching with it. Is it making their courses better or dragging the profession down?

Adults who were required to use #GenAI to answer LSAT questions did better than a no-AI control group, but the GenAI group also exhibited greater metacognitive inaccuracy. I'd like to see some conceptual replications before drawing firm conclusions. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Listen, I know people are super busy. But I really encourage y'all to consider volunteering to review for the conferences you attend. My sense is that the quality of reviews has decreased over the years, largely due to experienced reviewers opting out of the review process. We need all y'all.

Star Wars was prescient about these “droids.” I think there’s a strong chance the best case scenario for them was what we saw in Star Wars: we trust these droids to do specialized tasks but are not at all surprised when they glitch out and are always low-key irritated by them.
NEO, a new humanoid robot that can do housekeeping, has the internet buzzing. The hosts of "Hard Fork" met with Bernt Bornich, the chief executive of the company 1X, which created the robot, and got to put NEO to the test. nyti.ms/47PqQ65

Some friendly advice to folks new to the conference submission game: everybody gets some submissions rejected. I did today. It’s normal and expected. Keep doing the best work you can, don’t get too high or too low, learn from every decision, and push on. #AERA2026

It's wonderful when a respected colleague praises your work. But when a respected colleague praises your advisee's work? Yeah, that's even better.

“How is Meta addressing the issue? The company's public story is that it is trying really hard to bring down the number of scams; its private story, as reported by Horwitz, is that it is bracing to pay a small fine while not doing anything that would reduce revenue too dramatically.”

Meta has a scam problem
The company's own projections showed up to 10 percent of its revenue could come from scams, according to a new leak. PLUS: OpenAI's "backstop" controversy

As a neuroscientist, I’d suggest there is a profound disconnect between what *some* computer scientists think is representative of “intelligence”, cognitive ability, or descriptions of consciousness from some in AI work.
LLMs are not how neural systems process information, nor how brains function.

We need not just digital and AI literacy education in K-12 schools - we need journalism literacy.

Another ~monthly update on the state of the #psychjobs market: more jobs continue to trickle in, though at a decreasing pace. We've nearly hit parity with covid in absolute terms, although the prior year baseline was higher this year than that, so we still see a slightly larger relative decrease.

We're a month further into the job market - how are things looking? The good news is that the market does seem to have been delayed: ~150 new listings have appeared since my last post. The bad news is that the total is still substantially lower than what it was during the covid dip.
