I have been emailing with a student offering advice about navigating the post-PhD job market and it struck me that the advice was general enough that more people might benefit. So here you go!
tl;dr: Figure out what you want your contribution to be, and make choices that can make that happen.

Humans are imperfect decision-makers, and autonomous systems should understand how we deviate from idealized rationality

Fascinating study, in line with the general unreliability of LMs at ToM reasoning I've seen.
I expect they'll be unreliable about other propositional attitudes (want, hope, expect, suspect, etc.), and suspect this is bc they're not trained on data that grounds this vocabulary.

Large language models (LLMs) may not reliably acknowledge a user’s incorrect beliefs, according to a paper in Nature Machine Intelligence. The findings highlight the need for careful use of LLM outputs in high-stakes decisions. go.nature.com/48VRpIQ 🧪

Online Now: More than incurious: the development of deliberate ignorance
More than incurious: the development of deliberate ignorance
In an information-rich world the ability to choose not to know is an important cognitive tool. But what are the developmental origins of deliberate ignorance? We identify a selection of cognitive capacities and changes in children’s information ecology that make deliberate ignorance increasingly possible – and desirable – across development.
