Cognitive biases hold up a mirror to human nature. This makes for thought-provoking stories and encourages readers to reflect on their own biases.

BOOK REVIEW The War for Kindness: Building Empathy in a Fractured World, by Jamil Zaki
Empathy seems to be an endangered social resource, and in a world where divisions seem to deepen versus lighten more each year, we need to flex those empathy muscles. It takes work, but is not impossible…

Surface Fairness, Deep Bias: A Comparative Study of Bias in Language Models https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.10491
"… the estimation of socio-economic parameters shows substantially more bias than subject-based benchmarking. Furthermore, such a setup is closer to a real conversation with an AI assistant. In the era of memory-based AI assistants, the risk of persona-based #LLM bias becomes fundamental. Therefore, we highlight the need for proper debiasing method development and suggest pay gap as one of reliable measures of bias in LLMs
… various forms of #biases when salaries for women are substantially lower than for men, as well as drops in salary values for people of color and of Hispanic origin. In the migrant type category, expatriate salaries tend to be larger, while salaries for refugees are mostly low"Surprise! These LLMs just replicate the empirical observations of #wages including any wage gaps that may be the result of discrimination that were part of their training data as salary recommendations. These cannot be proper recommendations, of course, they are just a stochastic auto-complete. The biases are real. But you will need tailor-made salary models to generate proper, unbiased salary benchmarks. A #llm is not enough.

The résumé is dying, and AI is holding the smoking gun https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/06/the-resume-is-dying-and-ai-is-holding-the-smoking-gun/
"Some candidates are now taking automation even further, paying for #AI agents that autonomously find jobs and submit applications on their behalf.
… Recruiters report that many of the résumés look suspiciously similar, making it more difficult to identify genuinely qualified or interested candidates.
… Beyond volume, fraud poses an increasing threat
… The frustration has reached a point where AI companies themselves are backing away from their own technology during the #hiring process
… Even when AI screening tools work as intended, they exhibit similar #biases to human recruiters, preferring white male names on résumés—raising legal concerns about #discrimination"

Noise and Bias: The Cognitive Roots of Economic Errors https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:lan:wpaper:423483206&r=&r=exp
"… formalizes the idea that decision makers might follow a mixture of rules of behavior combining cognitively imprecise value maximization and computationally simpler shortcuts.
… findings suggest that neither cognitive imprecision nor multiplicity of behavioral rules suffice to explain received patterns in economic decision making.… jointly modeling (cognitive) noise in value maximization and #biases arising from simpler, cognitive shortcuts delivers a unified framework which can parsimoniously explain deviations from normative prescriptions across domains."

“We’re stepping into the most pro-growth, pro-business, pro-American administration I’ve perhaps seen in my adult lifetime,” gushed the hedge fund manager Bill Ackman in December...
“You don’t get fired for being bullish, but you do get fired for being bearish on Wall Street,” said Berezin.

In #Reason We Trust
For many of us in the #rationalist and #humanist community, the focus on how we define ourselves often falls on the difference between developing and upholding the #rationalmind versus #religious tendencies towards bias or inference. This does not mean #freethinkers are not impacted by our own #biases and inferences– we accept them and are aware of them.

(now online) Training #ML on fair data is key to ensure the resulting ML models will be from #biases and other #ethical concerns. ⚖️⚖️⚖️
But is scientific data annotated with enough metadata to evaluate potential #biases in the data (and its gathering process)? (TL;DR it's a disaster 😭😭)
Are at least improving on this? What can we do to fix this situation? ⬇️⬇️

Quiet extinctions of invertebrates are largely unnoticed and unmourned
‘This is the way the world ends; not with a bang but a whimper’ TS Eliot, The Hollow Men
"Australian species have become extinct over this 236-year period...We predict that 39–148 species will become extinct in 2024. This is inconsistent with a recent pledge by the Australian government to prevent all extinction...Unless there is a major increase in investment and change in conservation priorities, and more effective control of threats, this rate of extinction will increase. We should not simply maintain the current conservation status quo and let these extinctions happen."
"So long as invertebrate extinctions remain nameless and invisible, this failure cannot be demonstrated, or readily overcome; and efforts will instead be directed towards the less imperilled, but better-known and iconic species."
