How much should we worry about the value of more independent expert opinions decreasing with the increasing use of AI which makes everyone's information more correlated? Is this going to mark the end of Reviewer 2? 🥲 🙃

And the implication for lecturers who want to best respond to this strategy is to tell students to expect a test at random dates. I bet they'll love that 🤓

I know Romania's entry at the Eurovision has been a bit controversial, but honestly, it's the best by far (and I'm not biased at all 🙃). If she doesn't win tomorrow this game is rigged :P

Why incentive-compatibility isn't enough for data quality: Our new online experiment shows that popular belief elicitation methods like BSR and BDM fail to outperform simple, unincentivized introspection.

Probably not news to people thinking about this, but it occurred to me there is a risk that as we become more enamored with how much faster we can do all kinds of stuff with AI, we don't notice we're losing some of the joy and satisfaction related to the process of doing some of that stuff.

How information campaigns can fall short even if they successfully correct beliefs: Our experiments show that correcting consumers' large underestimations of which products cause high emissions does not have an effect on their actual consumption decisions.
