I told a student recently that using em-dashes would make her prose more effective. She didn't want to because of this AI paranoia. I love em-dashes and have been using them my entire life, as have many other writers. LLMs train on decades of texts, good and bad. They use patterns that have been working well across the years. LLM detectors make mistakes. And yet we are caught up in this frenzy of fear. Bizarre loop we are caught in.

So, erm, are we about to get Liverpool, Chelsea AND Arsenal all coached by three kids who played in the same local boys' team together?!

🧵 Why did many ancient civilizations believe the human body has 365 bones — one for each day of the year? My new paper in Evolution and Human Behavior explores the cognitive roots of "numerological correspondence." 👇

It includes prompts for Codex/Claude Code 🤖

Many Labs 5 was such a cool project. Authors who argued that a study from the Reproducibility Project: Psychology was 'too different', leading to a null result, could propose their own replication. Mostly null results again. Blaming auxiliaries is easy. Replication is hard.

Black marks on published papers don’t change citation rates, new study finds.

I cannot count the number of articles over the past 20 years (including from Nobel prize winners) that I read about how China cannot innovate b/c it is not a free market economy.
But now I have to read the articles from the same people telling me how a state-directed economy innovates much more efficiently than a market economy & how we have to fight against that.
