I reported on an experiment this week that blew my mind. Psychologists at @Cornell recruited thousands of people to talk with ChatGPT about a conspiracy theory they believed. They wanted to know: Is it true that conspiracy theories rarely get convinced out of their beliefs? 🧵

@Lux_Stella_ Every time a computer does something that we thought was uniquely a human ability, we create an explanation as to why people are still unique.

@Mikeachim Why post a paywalled article?

[jeff williams @jeffnwi]

@elonmusk Maybe not comment until they are convicted?

@MsMelChen You remember how capitalism works, right? Obviously they did things to make money in China. They are serving capital which needs to grow.

@tobi Roughly 90–98% of deaths in older adults (typically age 65+) are from previously known progressive or terminal conditions rather than sudden/unexpected events. (from Grok). My dad recently went through this. There is friction. Bedridden and no quality of life is not living.

@tobi @sandeeptodi I would guess the payroll requirements of the Canadian government were beyond human understanding. Only explanation. They were replacing hundreds of old systems that were black boxes and trying to replicate their output. Should have fixed the requirements first obviously.

@Grady_Booch At the end you are going to be left with "A member of Homo sapiens" We are more alike to everything than we think.

@McCainJack Your dad was a great man.

@Grady_Booch I totally get why the TriSolarsans are scared of us.

[jeff williams @jeffnwi]

@Grady_Booch Obviously you don't promote stuff until you've reviewed it. AI firectly into production right now is insane.

@MsMelChen @Byron_Wan Compared to the US, Canada is as serious as a heart attack.
