First time I went to the US (15yo) I was super confused with the list of racial identity I didn't know that "Caucasian" meant white. I thought it meant from the actual Caucasus/eastern Europe. So I looked over the list 3 times and eventually checked "Latino" thinking that it referred to the Romans

New paper just out in Quantitative Science Studies where we find clear evidence that geographical restrictions on ChatGPT usage have largely failed. Interestingly, OpenAI seems to have taken notice, recently ramping up enforcement efforts. w/ @sunmengyi.bsky.social @innovation.bsky.social

Can we stop diffusion of particular AI technologies to countries we don't "like"? ChatGPT is useful case. OpenAI *still* prohibits access in major countries. But do these prohibitions actually work? New paper by @honglin-bao.bsky.social and @sunmengyi.bsky.social suggests they don't! 1/3

Any metric can and will be gamed. So we really need to think through the implications here. At first sight this is terrible: it kills replication & robustness in the cradle, pushing towards "new" stuff. Chasing the unexpected got the Gino and Ariely cases. www.nature.com/articles/d41... #EconSky

A growing problem --- fake papers polluting systematic reviews. And interesting point that the gold-standard protocols that Cochrane is developing to weed out untrustworthy studies, are too much of an effort for systematic-review authors looking at 100s of papers. www.science.org/content/arti...

‘Systematic reviews’ that aim to extract broad conclusions from many studies are in peril
