Though I've been scooped somewhat by @IrisVanRooij, @lakens and @danieljamesyon (which is awesome, and made for one hell of a day so far 😀): yesterday I put out a preprint that's very close to my heart! Time for a thread! 1/?

RT @jayvanbavel: The result of 30 years of research and debate in psychology:

RT @dlevenstein: This one is now in print - as part of a special issue at @CompBrainBeh on "What makes a good theory?"

RT @edzitron: Newsletter: We need to stop covering everything that Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman and Elon Musk does, and stop acting as if th…

@lakens @uygun_tunc @tunc_necip Minor correction: it refers to the process of creating these successive states with the aim to move us closer to our epistemic goals (or boost epistemic virtues), not only successful cases!

RT @o_guest: It's out! AI as framed is impossible: venture capitalist lies & academic-bro grifting during the rise of fascism & the fall of…

@lakens The turn I am seeing right now in the more philosophical rep.cri. literature is to epistemic iteration (e.g., Devezer, Lavelle, Eronen), which deals specifically with such vicious cycles. But that can still take many forms!

@lakens I believe this is already a problem in their first paper! Specifically: how could I rigorously predict a proportion of successes and failures in a set of operationalizations from a theory, without a priori decision criteria on which operationalizations are sufficient ones?

RT @DeblockBlock: Philosophers! Uwe Peters is running a survey on the challenges of doing philosophy in English, comparing native & non-nat…

RT @IoanaA_Cristea: Ok I backtrack everything I said, something is *VERY* rotten in the state of Open Science. This doesn't just look very…

RT @EikoFried: After retraction and the authors providing their narrative, a blog by Joe (who w Berna raised the original concerns) arguing…

RT @CristianLarPh: I’m happy to share that my paper “Is Quantitative Measurement in the Human Sciences Doomed? On the Quantity Objection” h…

@OlthofMerlijn @EikoFried I'm not sure, haha. I need to get it past my supervisors and my desire to make it perfect first, and the latter is playing up a lot right now. But it is mainly on epistemic problems, not on sociological ones (as Eiko seems to be hinting it).

RT @rensvandeplas: Eva Hoeke schreef een brief over de ‘grootstedelijke achtergrond’ die veel columnisten zouden hebben. Naar aanleiding va…

@maltoesermalte @MaxPrimbs Participation is also a population variable here, not a sample variable. We do not think that participation causes participation, but that who decided to participate in project implicit pre- and post-BLM protests may have changed due to awareness of the protests.

RT @ChrisAlvino: I still can't get over how bad AI has become. And this is coming from a computer scientist who spent over a decade studyin…
