but that’s fine. It served a useful function at the time in getting people to think about potential informational value in P-values - it just was too crude an approach, so stimulated development of other methods. Can we have a “z-curve for dummies” explainer to improve take-up?

Interesting trial. Especially interesting to note that the SMD between the AI chatbot and waitlist is equivalent to the SMD between face-to-face psychotherapy and waitlist. If psychotherapy is «remarkably effective», then so is the AI chatbot.

Tim Kaiser@tkaiser.science · 2y ago

AI chatbot somewhat more effective than waitlist control. An effect of d=0,61 is something you would expect from a self-guided intervention, but I suspect it’s much more expensive.

🚨This week, many Columbia scientists lost grants that funded over half their annual income. Others will no longer be able to do research that helps treat thousands of sick patients across the US. "It hurts," they told me. My story for @nature.com 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

In medicine, "AI safety" would include concerns that tools based on gen AI and machine learning don't cause harm to patients, which they very much can and do.

Justin Hendrix@justinhendrix.bsky.social · 2y ago

NIST has issued new instructions to scientists that partner with the US Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (AISI) that eliminate mention of 'AI safety,' 'responsible AI,' and 'AI fairness' in order to reduce 'ideological bias, to enable human flourishing and economic competitiveness.'

‘Be quiet’ und ‘say thank you’, es gibt in dieser Regierung nur eine Devise: Der Ober sticht den Unter. Wir sollten uns von der Illusion verabschieden, dass die USA unter Trump noch in Kategorien von Freunden und Partnern denken. Die NATO als transatlantische Allianz ist effektiv tot.

Die Grenze zwischen Konservatismus und extremer Rechter ist --- gerade in Deutschland --- nicht sauber zu ziehen. #Merz zeigt es. Versteht man Konservatismus als Primat des Bewahrens, so fällt Konservativen der radikale Bruch mit allen Aspekten des nationalsozialistischen Erbes schwer. (1/2)

No need to say that the ICN is a pioneering institution. I had the privilege to start my academic career there during my first doctorate in London.
