NOBODY'S FOOL, my second book co-authored with @profsimons, was published today by @BasicBooks! It's about how deception works—the patterns inherent in successful frauds and scams, and the cognitive science of how we respond to them. Much more info here:

RT @vkhosla: Great book: The invisible Gorilla. Rigorously written (unlike many pysch books), fun, funny,surprising, enlightening. http://a….

Interestingly, we also found that both laypeople and clinicians prefer not to incorporate factors like patient race, sex, education, and income when creating a rationing policy.

We found that people's choices of which patient should get a treatment can be influenced by the presence of irrelevant extra patients (an example of the attraction effect). Full open-access article:.

I'm very happy that Pedram Heydari, @MichelleNMeyer, and I have published our study on the internal inconsistencies in the choices that laypeople and medical clinicians make about rationing scarce treatments (such as ventilators and medications during the Covid pandemic).

It's even worse: the position in the description is not legal, as it cannot be Black's move if White is in check and there is no previous move (not even Rh1) that would transform a legal position into this one. Great example of the Gell-Mann Amnesia concept applied to LLMs.

Please have a look at our Geisinger Program Evaluation (GPE) job advertisements, and consider applying yourself—or distributing our ads to anyone you think might be interested. (2/2).GPE Associate Director:.GPE Staff Scientist:.

At @GeisingerHealth we have created a new team to conduct rigorous evaluations of important health system initiatives, programs, and interventions. I'm one of the faculty co-directors of this group and I'm happy to say we have two new positions open! (1/2).

The essay is worth reading in full—every single word, not an LLM-generated summary!.

Clay Shirky @cshirky explains the impact of generative AI on learning: "As with calculators, there will be many tasks where automation is more important than user comprehension, but for student work, a tool that improves the output but degrades the experience is a bad tradeoff."

. like Nature Human Behavior, JAMA Network Open, & PNAS. Details: Location: Danville, PA or (for exceptional candidates) anywhere in the U.S. Watch for more jobs in the coming days as we grow our Behavioral Insights & Program Evaluation teams! (2/2).

We’re hiring! The @GeisingerHealth Behavioral Insights Team is looking for a new Staff Scientist. We conduct large pragmatic trials of behavioral science-informed interventions to improve health decisions and outcomes, with work published/forthcoming in top journals . 1/2.

Can is a great guy with infectious enthusiasm and I highly recommend his Youtube videos, as well as his unique series of Chessable courses, for anyone interested in getting better at chess.

I had a fun time talking last week with fellow cognitive scientist and chess master @DrCanChess, and you can watch the whole thing! (or listen on Can's "The Chess Cognition Podcast" on your favorite podcast platform).

“When your focus is on the broader content of an AI image … you’re less likely to notice subtle distortions. In a way, the sixth finger in an AI image is today’s invisible gorilla—hiding in plain sight because you’re not looking for it.”
