Sorry this study is insane? They asked six trivia questions that no normal person would ever know offhand, didn’t provide any way (eg film clips) to answer then, pre-generated incorrect AI answers, and basically just found that people switched from random guessing to using the wrong answer provided
Cat Hicks@grimalkina.bsky.social · 2w agoI think this is the paper? it's a preprint osf.io/preprints/ps... The questions are media trivia questions, which aren't exactly judgment questions. Presenting "AI" that's forced to be incorrect basically just tests whether participants trust it to be a lookup tool which I think they do
We are given only a limited number of truly perfect summer days in our time on Earth. One of the more insidious cruelties of fossil fuel greed is how it slowly strips those days from us, more and more throughout our lifetimes, perhaps without us even realizing what we have lost.
Another stolen summer day
What are we still waiting to learn?

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down
Today The Washington Post has been gutted. The Washington Post Guild has started a GoFundMe to help laid off reporters: gofund.me/2b198c9f6 (gofund.me/2b198c9f6)

I asked this yesterday and didn't get any takers, so let me try again. Trump obviously can't keep Greenland and Iceland straight. If Trump gives the order to invade Iceland, will Hegseth have the courage to correct him, or will he send the 101st Airborne to Reykjavik?
My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

Bari Weiss has woven a rich tapestry of mediocrity.
Mike Drucker@mikedrucker.bsky.social · 7mo agoBari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)
REMINDER TO PEOPLE WHO CALL THEMSELVES JOURNALISTS: The Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) was amended by the GOP under Trump 45. Eliminating the individual mandate was like drilling a hole in your car’s gas tank. They own this. Omitting this fact when reporting/interviewing is malpractice, IMO.
This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.
In WaPo today JB Pritzker is in the picture. Bezos is not. Must be an oversight…

Selective “enforcement” of “law” is simply the absence of law. When only political enemies are coerced by government force, the rule of law has ended.

Every time I look at my 401k something like this is bouncing around in my mind.

It is time for American Conservatives and Liberals who treasure our Constitutional order to speak clearly and plainly.
Paul Gowder@gowder.io · 12mo agoour press team asked if I wanted to be included in a media advisory about trump's national guard dictator behavior. No clue if they'll actually dare to use what I sent them, but I'm just going to say how it is
