A nine-year-old is the most adversarial QA environment known to engineering. They will find the crash path your test suite politely avoided, exploit any reward loophole within a week, and file the bug report as a drawing.

Ship software for kids and you will learn humility on a schedule.

Scholarly objectivity means not letting the scholar’s biases distort the pursuit of Truth. It does not mean suspending the sense of justice and moral rightness necessary to recognizing Truth.

[Bea ✩ @bibistarcandy]

how massive of a loser do you have to be to see a stranger sharing something that brings them joy (something so playful & innocuous!) and decide to act hatefully towards them? you guys are so miserable!

Remember: adult "attachment theory" was developed in the late 2010s primarily as a form of intrasexual competition between psychology majors. You shouldn't allow it to propagate outside of that niche because it is an invasive species that outcompetes other relational frameworks

Why did people take that one study about frontal lobe development and long-term decision-planning as "once you turn 25 you are stuck in your mold forever and will never change as a person again"

The autistic experience is asking a completely reasonable clarifying question and watching the whole room act like you just said something inappropriate.

Wild that CPTSD gets "social traits" and autism gets "social deficits", huh?

These folks often don't even realize how much they have been raised to hate autism and autistic people, they just use this rhetoric in these ways without even thinking.

The problem is yall think social construct means “arbitrary and not real”

"from the selection of experiments in this meta-analysis, it appears that the fMRI evidence for generally altered predictions/prediction errors in autism is inconsistent" https://t.co/fNC5gwERas "this picture could be indicative of a... need to develop more specific hypotheses"?

Actually, it rules when someone is sincerely joyful and excited about what they love. We should all be so lucky.

Churned out 13 pages’ worth of writing for my PhD qualifying exam after working for the past four hours straight

My gesticulation tendencies when I present in front of audiences are so funny; they make for the best conference photos. Thanks to the UW-Madison IDS for letting me discuss findings related to psychosocial interventions for autistic adults!

[Philip Bunn @PhilipDBunn]

So, why? Why would I bother producing a paper in this manner? Why would I send it to a journal? To what end, and for what purpose?

Victory secured, now we keep building. 🇲🇽

A goal from Johan Vásquez earned us the win over Australia at the Rose Bowl as we continue our preparation ahead of the big debut. 🤩

Tbh a lot of you have this kind of autism it’s just instead of reporting people to the police for minor traffic violations it’s reporting people to “the community” (i.e. social media) for things like ice cream recipe violations. Cop autism is rampant.

Autistic "hypoconnectivity & hyperconnectivity subtypes"? "a new empirical framework for targeted subtyping of the autism spectrum"? but only 25% of autistics could be subtyped? https://t.co/9AOznbchBa & subtypes did not differ in RRBs, age, IQ, sex, psychiatric co-occurrence...?

Not finding predicted & presumed autistic deficits in prospective memory & executive functioning ("working memory and inhibition performance"), under high vs low cognitive demands https://t.co/Lz0uJAP6qu "In contrast to our expectations" "in contrast to the extant literature"

I cannot believe the number of "academics" I've seen bitching about the 1-year ban on arXiv for publishing hallucinated references.

Are you shitting me? You're mad that your research papers are expected to be factual? You couldn't be bothered to check your references?

Editing your genAI paper is just not worth my time, labor, or expertise. I hope that scholars wholeheartedly agree to simply stop peer reviewing papers that use genAI, stop providing line edits, stop engaging with content edits. You could not pay me enough to edit a bot
