Short thread on the latest paper led by @joseluiz.bsky.social w/ @lawstuff.bsky.social: arxiv.org/abs/2503.00992

The paper addresses two issues w/ previous machine psychology papers (including our own): 1) are LLMs mastering concepts, or are they memorizing the data? 1/14
Evidence of conceptual mastery in the application of rules by Large Language Models
In this paper we leverage psychological methods to investigate LLMs' conceptual mastery in applying rules. We introduce a novel procedure to match the diversity of thought generated by LLMs to that ob...

New paper with @joseluiz.bsky.social and @almeida2808.bsky.social showing that AI possesses the concept of rule. We find that generative AI emulates how humans apply rules to novel situations in which a rule's letter and spirit conflict. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Out now in Cognitive Science: We investigate how people think judges should handle immoral laws. Should judges follow the law no matter what, or can exceptions be made for (grossly) immoral laws? We surveyed 167 laypeople and 141 participants with legal training to find out.

The Hollywood company behind “Blade Runner 2049” sued Elon Musk for copyright infringement on Monday, accusing him of illegally using imagery from that film to promote Tesla’s new “robotaxi.”

Catching up to leave on vacations next week. All of a sudden I receive two peer review requests. Do not receive many of those, but TBF they both seem interesting and within what I would be ok to do... Guess I already have too much work as soon as I'm back

Very good data story, had no idea about the information.
Hello, BlueSky 👋

Let’s try a thread.

We need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university.

American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀

First up: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years

New pre-print about LLMs out!

In this paper we sought to evaluate how GPT-4's answers compare to humans in experiments from Moral Philosophy and Experimental Jurisprudence.
How well does GPT4 align with humans in terms of moral and legal reasoning? We (w @joseluiz.bsky.social et al) ran eight studies to compare them, finding that there are ways in which both are strikingly similar, but also several systematic differences. Check it out:

Exploring the psychology of GPT-4's Moral and Legal Reasoning
Large language models have been used as the foundation of highly sophisticated artificial intelligences, capable of delivering human-like responses to probes about legal and moral issues. However,...
