  1. Feeling like you know less the more you learn? 😅 It's a common trap in cybersecurity! This short dives into imposter syndrome & the Dunning-Kruger effect – and how to navigate them. New video up – check it out! #ImposterSyndrome #Cybersecurity #DunningKruger

  2. Ich gehe fest davon aus, dass Merz das tatsächlich so meint, wenn er sagt, er will das Beste für das Land.
    Das erklärt auch seine tiefe Angefressenheit und Enttäuschung, wenn er kritisiert wird. Er empfindet das wahrscheinlich als Kritik an seiner Person, selbst wenn Kritik sachlich bleibt.

    Nur ist Merz halt leider Dunning-Kruger auf Steroiden und merkt einfach nicht, dass er Vollgas auf eine Klippe zusteuert und dass es nicht mehr Tempo braucht, sondern einen sehr krassen Richtungswechsel.

    Das soll jetzt kein Plädoyer für Mitleid werden. Ich denke nur, es ist wichtig, hinter die Fassade zu schauen, um zu verstehen, dass diesen Mann weder Petitionen noch Demos von seinem Höllenritt in die Verderbnis abhalten werden.

    Die Ja-Sager, mit denen er sich in Trump'scher Manier umgibt, werden es in jedem Fall nicht rausreißen.

  4. RE: psicospace.it/effetto-dunning-

    L’effetto Dunning-Kruger ci ricorda una cosa scomoda: spesso chi sa poco tende a sopravvalutarsi, mentre chi conosce davvero un tema è più consapevole dei propri limiti.

    Non è solo una curiosità da manuale di psicologia, è un modo utile per capire come valutiamo noi stessi, la nostra conoscenza e le nostre competenze.

    #LLM|s are Dunning-Kruger Reshapers & Amplifiers.

  8. This is Pauline Hanson, Australia's very own orange Trump — right down to the hair, the bluster, and the endless victimhood.
    When asked about taxpayers forking out $150k+ a year for her daughter Lee Hanson to "campaign full-time in Tasmania" while on the payroll as an adviser to a NSW senator, this was her classy response to the journalist:

    "Honestly, you never give up. I've never seen a person that's such a trashy journalist... you've got this obsession with constantly trying to pull down myself, my party, or Mrs Rinehart."

    Simple question: What does it say about the political IQ of the Australians who keep voting for this?

  10. How does a thing like #DunningKruger ever profilate in the evolutionary lineup, you may find yourself wondering?

    But our psychology of "getting shit done" doesn't actually rely on knowing the facts. It's based on confidence. Confidence might include facts or it might not.

    Very smart people who know a lot of facts sometimes get choice paralysis and anxiety. IMO this is why we have such a high profilation of Dunning-Kruger. Evolution does evolution things!

  12. In their final act on the national stage, the #boomer generation left the #USA with a #supplyshock, #joblessness and #stagflation. And never once did their #dunningkruger diminish, so there will be no apology, no introspection. Only surprise that we are not enthusiastically supporting funding for their statues. #boomers

  17. @Bot4Sale @msdropbear42 I agree… but that’s exactly the problem.
    How does anyone watch Sky News Australia and not question why it’s so consistently one sided?
    At some point you’d think viewers would ask why it’s not just reporting facts and letting people make up their own minds.

  19. In a post to his Truth Social propaganda mouth piece, Trump posted, "As everyone knows, | am an extraordinarily brilliant person.."

    Trump's post belongs in the dictionary as an example of the Dunning-Kruger effect

  21. @logorok Wenn andere Banken Wero technisch nur mit der Empfänger-Rufnummer umsetzen, ohne das ganze Adressbuch des Senders mit allen weiteren ggf vorhanden Informationen abzugreifen, ist es eben offenbar nicht notwendig. Zumal nach eigenen Angaben von EPI die Kontakte verabeitet werden. Sinniere mal über Minimierung. #DunningKruger Bye

  22. 🤔 Random thought. I do not mean this in a pejorative way. More anthropologically speaking, in terms of "studying people" and observing their interactions with each another & emerging tech.

    – How folks choose to use AI (or not) reveals little glimpses into one's thought process and ability (willingness?) to pay attention to seemingly inconsequential details. Code nuance, so to speak.

    – In that way, it is a bit like the phenomena of the Dunning-Kruger effect. That is a fascinating story (link in the comments). Two psychologists posited that without a certain baseline level of self-awareness, humans tend to over-estimate their own abilities.

    – I think that tends to compound with AI. Someone can prompt their way to passable results. Which to the untrained eye (vibe-* coder, designer, businessperson) look just like the "real thing."

    – Emulating versions of success they have seen others have. Without comprehension. Like me in the 1990s, thinking if I could wear Air Jordans then… Maybe? A half-Asian kid could play basketball at that level.

    Such workflows tend to result in some comical outcomes. Those who create the vibe-work present it to others who vibe-evaluate it, and everyone continues along happily until something breaks. That inadvertently places a heavier burden on those who understand the fundamentals, to serve as a backstop against quality control.

    I half-jokingly said to another principal engineer friend:

    > "I miss the days when iffy devs tended to move slowly. Now they can churn out iffy stuff at ludicrous speed."

    Essentially, the difference between these statements.

    1️⃣ "AI writes better code than me. It can keep large chunks of contextual details straight. Whereas I cannot. Ergo, AI is better at writing code than all developers."

    2️⃣ "AI writes better code than me. I use it to generate things that appear correct to my eyes. However, levels of human competence exist beyond my own."

  26. "Both Putin and Trump clearly acted out of a kind of megalomania. Their behaviour is evil and unlawful, but rational motives are not the decisive factors. Rather, Putin and Trump are primarily concerned with their own greatness. Or what they consider that to be."

  28. Greg Dworkin quotes Acyn of MeidasTouch, who says,

    "Trump on Iran: We really had regime change. This is a change in the regime because the leaders are all different. I think we can say this is regime change."

    Dworkin responds:

    "A 6 year old could do deeper analysis."

In the Iran war, we can see Trump’s ignorance operating at multiple levels from the general to the specific, each of which has its own consequences."
