Here we go again. The implication here is that the way AI generates its output is with human-like cognition. Which is untrue. "Cognitive capabilities humans have" is not the same is "outputs comparable to those of humans."

hello @cos.io here's an idea: how about adding a bluesky option so users can showcase their handle on their osf profile?

What does interacting with our personal data via LLMs mean for the future of human behaviour? Can they become our companions or alter egos? Learn more through this new BBC radio documentary www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... and, if you are inspired, we are editing a call for papers 👇👇👇

My final session at #SJDM 2024: Online #ProcessTracing!

Ian Krajbich gave the rationale.

Xiaozhi Yang demoed webcam #eyeTracking.

Nitisha Desai showed #mouseTracking code.

@adaaka.bsky.social advised on #coding scalable #textAnalysis with #LLMs.

Files on github.com/krajbichlab/...

#python #AI
Workshop outline (with names and affiliations in case that helps you find and cite the experts). Ian Krajbich and visual examples of online eye-tracking, mouse-tracking, and text one may want to analyze (e.g., online reviews) Nitisha Desai showing an example of mouse tracking patterns can reveal about decisions and judgments. Ada Aka explaining how think-aloud protocols and other forms of text process tracing matter: they get us inside the opaque box of people's reasoning! Did you know think-aloud protocols can also be done online? See Byrd et al 2023 below: Byrd, N., Joseph, B., Gongora, G., & Sirota, M. (2023).

Thinking 🤔 about the circular economy as the winter holidays approaches🌲. We need to change our gift giving culture - buying all new can't be a measure of how much we love each other. How about we all shop and ask for gifts via vinted depop Etsy thredup 🌱? #decision-making #behaviourchange ♻️

Jordan Suchow & @vahidash.bsky.social are compiling and analyzing MASSIVE datasets of biases, decision scenarios, and #research #abstracts

- Biases clustered
- Some biases relevant to *most* decisions (e.g. #attention)
- Relevance and #science coverage unrelated?

scholar.google.com/citations?us...
Jordan Suchow and Vahid Ashrafi's approach The huge datasets mean graphs were comically oversized, even when text size was minimized. This is the first part of a very (very!) wide plot of mean decision relevancy per cognitive bias. The graph showing biases' relevance to advice-seeking scenarios is only weakly correlated with the biases' coverage in research.

“In the present article, we (...) present a theory for why the space of person judgments is 2D (think of a circle) rather than three-dimensional (think of a sphere) or higher (good luck)” 😁 My kind of humour.

So many comments about paper mills, tortured retractions, and insane publisher profits in all my feeds. The Beall's list blacklisting "predators" is so 2000s. The COPE list is not diagnostic. Academia needs to curate itself and stop relying on indices from for-profit publishers. What's out there?
