What a time to be doing research. Leading a project now where collaborators are debating whether it is more compelling to have AI review/summarize something or whether we should use our wet-brains to do it. The pro AI one accused me of wanting to "armchair it."

Yet, I question the authors' characterization of "psychometric networks" as "increasingly popular." Thankfully, these models have become much less popular lately as folks have realized they are methodological dead ends. But they are still too popular. So, happy to see this. 2/2

A new take on the limitations of "psychometric networks" now out in Nature Human Behavior. You don't want to put too much confidence in individual edges. Something we cautioned against in 2017. 1/2 https://t.co/aREYctC7hy

Apropos of nothing, remember that polygraphs (i.e., lie detector tests) are so unreliable as to be inadmissible as evidence in federal court.

Great pic! Really makes me miss Pittsburgh.
The victory lights are illuminated on the Cathedral of Learning celebrating Pitt's win over Central Michigan this past weekend. I love this composition with the steeples of the St. Paul Cathedral framing the Cathedral of Learning. #pitt #h2p #pittsburgh

Thanks to all who have expressed concern! Nothing to worry about. It’s just a new student unexpectedly joined the lab and I can’t be an effective mentor to too many at once, so sitting this cycle out.

I terminated my @ZenBusinessInc account today, which they make it difficult to do. I expressed my frustration during the process. Imagine my surprise when I got an email saying I had written a positive review about them on @Trustpilot. I did not write that. This is fraud.

Academic journals might be a lost cause but they'd probably be better if you had some non-academic practitioners serving as reviewers. Journalists have their problems too but they have much better bullshit detectors, for instance.
