A very cool bedtime read. Reminding me of 'botgate' on MTurk, I would be curious about how much other researchers have encountered this and in which fields.
When D&S researchers Ranjit Singh, @livgar.bsky.social, @briana-v.bsky.social, and @emnetspeaks.bsky.social set out to interview people about their use of mental health chatbots, they encountered — and were fascinated by — a particular kind of AI-enabled deception. datasociety.net/points/chatb...

✅️ First time at EAWOP complete!
While I am now home and jetlagged, I continue to think of the people I met with and the projects I heard about. Energized by knowing what problems and research questions people are pondering, along with how they're examining them and the results they're finding. 😄

Every time I post about a topic “no one wants to talk about anymore” like COVID or sexual violence, I’m reminded that people are actually desperate to talk about these issues.
The real issue is that they want people to stop trying to convince them not to care about them.

Yesterday my colleagues and I held an informal gathering where we talked about academic freedom: its history, its true meaning, how it's protected, etc.
I genuinely feel empowered by what I got out of these discussions, and I want to distill a few useful take-home messages for others.

Still thinking about this past weekend, in which I attended #SIOP24. It was my first time at SIOP, and everyone was lovely. Much appreciation for community. 💕
Plus, Chicago is beautiful! I only wish I had more time to explore it. Some photos from mini exploration times:

Currently attending a CARMA live event about the 'Joy of Coding' with Dr. Anne Smith, and I'm grateful for this learning opportunity. She's using a metaphor of how qualitative coding is like painting, Bob Ross style, - a great framing for different ways to approach coding data 🙏🏼

Both of these papers show an 'intervention' for men to avoid being seen as less competent or agentic (i.e., important work-related traits) while being an equal partner at home or taking care of their kids .. with that intervention being for men to prove they're committed to work.

That competence perceptions increase when a father takes a work call while caring for their children is fascinating - and reminds me of Chaney et al.'s (2019) paper about how husbands who perform domestic labour need to be known to be earning income if wanting to avoid social penalties (2/3)
