Do you know what your life is missing? A live YouTube variety show about #iopsych called The Great IO Get-Together.

I know. How have you even survived until now?

Our first live show with Dr. Lillian Eby, JAP Editor-in-Chief, is already up! Check it out! https://t.co/RnqLlJBWaO

Workers are more likely to feel stressed and less likely to feel valued when companies use technology to monitor them. Research also shows no connection between surveillance and better performance, explains @TaraBehrend. https://t.co/QKG5NLQ3G1

I will be going to #positconf2023 in less than 2 weeks to learn about the cutting edge of data science in R. But I have never been to posit::conf (or rstudio::conf). Any recommendations?

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

There's no better time to relive the recent premiere event of #iopsych, the 2023 Annual Conference #siop23! Check out @TaraBehrend's interviews with attendees and presenters for the Great IO Get-together/GIG at https://t.co/MaurNdtMxG

@DrWinnyShen You seemed on the fence when we discussed it at 12:30am! Was a little surprised to see the “we moved” sign 😂

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

Packed house at the first ever “comedy” show at #siop23. This is around a 400-person room!

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

I choose to believe from the lack of response that you and @IOSyIslam are in there dressed as Batman and Robin promoting your book this very moment!

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

Downstairs from #siop23 Saturday is apparently @wickedcomiccon - are you in there @iopsychology and if not why not?? Thinking about registering just to walk around for an hour!!

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

@courtkeim Sometimes? I guess I’d characterize it as slow paced observational comedy. Not quite a laugh a minute. 😅

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

Full house for #AI and machine learning in selection this morning at #siop23!

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

This is just a friendly #siop23 reminder - if you install the Whova app, the times given there will be in your local time zone, not the conference's time zone!

I recommend either using solely the Whova calendar or solely something else for scheduling - don't mix and match!

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

ChatGPT sometimes feels like the “I’m feeling lucky” button decided to have a conversation with me.

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

Only one hour left until showtime! Bring your burning questions!

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

In a brand new Great IO Get Together, your favorite #iopsych YouTube Live variety show will be interviewing @lisa_kath aka @iopsychmemes on Monday at 2:30 US CDT! Join us then to watch and ask your own questions live! https://t.co/K4dRTIOP5b

This is just a fabulous demonstration of why you should care about the specific source of input data.

If you ask ChatGPT to speak in Scots, you will get to see the resulting predictions from this teen's efforts in their full glory.

[dream song 4 @chickenpaprika]

It turns out an American teen who identifies as an "INTP brony" has singlehandedly written almost the entirety of Scots wikipedia despite not knowing the language at all. Scottish redditors suspect he may have done "more damage to the Scots language than anyone else in history."

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

ChatGPT with GPT4 is capable of writing a high-scoring undergrad-level five-paragraph essay on psychology. The important question is: do you interpret this as "essays are no longer a good way to assess learning" or "this marks the end of education"? https://t.co/NtNTOAYEEk

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

An interesting side effect of ChatGPT being down a lot is that you can track if any random Twitter account or other text was written by ChatGPT... since it will be mysteriously quiet during outages. https://t.co/KcZvOmsmfu

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

Side note - this study required the largest sample size I've ever worked with: 1.2 billion

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

Turns out that just throwing #machinelearning at an existing, well-validated employee selection system is not usually going to help you much. This work with @Elena_Auer, Lily Dunk, @LangersMarkus, and Khue Tran just accepted at Personnel Psychology: https://t.co/UtAeyrUjuN

Please observe and remember AI evangelists picking an arbitrary metric and declaring its achievement a sign of total disruption. It’s a play we’ve seen before and will see many times again.

[H̶armless @harmlessai]

It’s So So Over.

[Richard N. Landers @rnlanders]

Although it's impressive technology, let's remember that passing standardized tests is for entry to advanced education, not proof of learning at the end. This is not "reasoning." There is no critical evaluation. It is pattern recognition.

[Jim Fan @DrJimFan]

I don't give a damn about what is or isn't AGI. It doesn't matter.

Below is GPT-4's performance on many standardized exams: BAR, LSAT, GRE, AP, etc.

The truth is, GPT-4 can apply to Stanford as a student now. AI's reasoning ability is OFF THE CHARTS. Exponential growth is the scariest thing, isn't it!
