Best AI hype allegory to date via @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

“every time someone asks me, “What about A.I.?” with the breathless anticipation of a boy who thinks this is the summer he finally gets to touch a boob”
Opinion | Actually, A.I. Is Pretty Mid
A.I. is just what we need in the post-fact era: less research and more predicting what we want to hear.

A current (undergraduate) student is thinking about future career/grad school plans & hoping to connect with folks who could talk about "the impact of current policies on career aspects in psychology, and specifically trauma research." Pls LMK if you're willing to be put in touch!

Meta-analysis and quant folks - what would you do with a study that used HLM to compare group differences because the data is from an ESM study with 21 assessments/participant? Manuscript reports estimated means for the two groups and B, SE, and 95% bootstrapped CI.

My first conscious thought today was “the Catholics classified guinea pigs as fish so they could be eaten during Lent.” Which … ok brain, yes, but why ?! It’s like living with a toddler with internet access.
