Lupin spent five episodes mastering disguise and plotting impossible heists at the Louvre. Meanwhile, someone just walked in during daylight and did it.

Would you let AI (LLMs) cheat for you? New work out in @nature.com shows that people are indeed willing to instruct AI in ways that will benefit themselves, despite not being totally honest. Great work by @nckobis.bsky.social and @iyadrahwan.bsky.social et al 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧠 Is your research still relying on Western participants? 15 years after “The WEIRDest People in the World” by Henrich et al., most studies still overuse WEIRD samples. In this paper, published in in Behavior Research Methods, I offer digital pathways to move beyond that. 1/5

How can we improve the #CogSci of values and decision-making? Closing the #BioXPhi Summit, a keynote from Edmond @awad.bsky.social proposed more factors, scale, etc. How? #games + #processDissociation Examples: last-haven.net tinker-tots.net Follow Dr. Awad! www.researchgate.net/profile/Edmo...
Edmond Awad introducing a presentation titled "Online Serious Games as a Tool to Study Value Disagreement"An example of two vignettes form a conventional behavioral experiment (about the identifiable victim effect)Examples of the scale that online games can enable.Examples of how process dissociation can improve dilemma-based measurement.

'As the UK considers the future of its planning frameworks, we hope that those making these important decisions, and indeed all of us, will reflect on the values at stake.' Dr Edmond Awad, from the NeuroSec Group led by Professor Ilina Singh at the Department of Psychiatry, writes to the Guardian.

Recently, we launched Tinker Tots (tinker-tots.net) — a platform where people can reflect on how they make decisions based on embryo attributes. Coincidentally, the @nytimes.com published a 3-part series on polygenic embryo screening the same day 🔗 www.nytimes.com/interactive/... 1/7
