I like people who weren't convicted.

This is an incredible admission: the NIH did not invest nearly enough in behavioral science as it relates to public health.

I sincerely hope they learn from this mistake and provide far better support for social and behavioral science to prevent future catastrophes.

What FB news drove COVID vax hesitancy in US? False misinfo?

Not so much: We find unflagged ‘vax-skeptical’ news had *46X larger* impact than flagged misinfo

Why? Flagged misinfo had bigger impact when seen, but ~100x fewer views

The super-rich will fight it tooth and nail, but yes — we will have, one day, a coordinated minimum max on the super-rich

And perhaps sonner than you think!

History will—I hope—view this as a landmark paper. And it’s the second landmark of which Yoshua Bengio has been the lead author this month. (The other is the rather heftier “International Scientific Report on the Safety of Advanced AI: Interim Report.”)

Emotions unveiled: detecting COVID-19 fake news on social media https://t.co/Cj4aB1iX7G

"Our analysis revealed that fake news tends to elicit more negative emotions than real news."

"...we propose that negative emotions could serve as vital features in developing fake news detection models."

@xriskology Take care. I hope you'll be back, Dr Torres. Yours is an important voice.
