Artificial intelligence, distributional #fairness, and pivotality https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:hal:journl:hal-05165240&r=&r=ain
"#AI training introduces a significant shift – individual decisions no longer terminate with the present but… influence the future behavior of scalable algorithms. This amplifies the impact of individual actions, creating lasting #externalities. Yet, the aggregation of data from many individuals may lead to diffused #responsibility, weakening the sense of pivotality. … leading to less prosocial behavior compared to a situation with high perceived pivotality for algorithmic outcomes.
… removing pivotality led to increased #selfishness in how humans trained the algorithm. Importantly, this change in revealed #socialPreferences was driven by a shift in individual responsibility (the power over one’s own or others’ fate) rather than the incentive structures (the expected additional payoff of one’s current decisions through the AI’s training).
… findings reveal a positive correlation between participants’ beliefs about others’ revealed preferences in generating training data and their own AI training choices when they were pivotal for others’ payoffs. This pattern points to a potential #falseConsensus effect or belief distortion mechanism, where participants justify selfish behavior by assuming others are also selfish, rather than attempting to offset others’ selfishness through prosocial actions."

GroupMythThink 2/10 🎭 Once the federation heard the umpires’ version, it became official—regardless of what players saw. Consensus replaced truth. Doubt? Not welcome.

Long live #hypertext
Links — connections between ideas — are the magic of Internet
They power open #web, enriching online writing. Generative #AI is parasitic dark magic counterpart to links
Digital age #Fascism has only has 1 unifying goal which is #FalseConsensus
Memes, #ConspiracyTheories, AI-generated slop — are meant to be inescapable. Create feeling something is true/real because it’s everywhere, as we’ve seen with the #Springfield, Ohio story

Latent Diversity in Human Concepts
https://direct.mit.edu/opmi/article/doi/10.1162/opmi_a_00072/114924
"…shows people can have significantly different concepts when using the same word.
…found evidence of multiple variants of the same concept, even when using coarse measures. This variation can lead to misunderstandings and debates, as common ground of even the most basic word meanings may not be perfectly shared.
It's important to be aware of possible variations in our daily conversations."

#SocialPriming #FalseConsensus #Whitewashing #ReplicationCrisis
#ChatGPT believes in social priming. A surprisingly forthright opinon for the AI.
Not surprising. Textbooks and review articles still whitewash the replication crisis. Psychology as a whole still lacks credibility. Social media are deceptive because a small minority here knows better.
