Nope. Gutenberg made a fortune selling Dream Numbers books, helping gamblers pick numbers for Policy, an illegal form lottery run by organized crime.

There are hundreds of years of history of women’s scientific accomplishments not being recognised or being minimised (“not notable”). It *still* happens. Many female scientists are only acknowledged on Wikipedia thanks to the efforts of, yes, other female scientists, notably physicist Dr Jess Wade.

Prof Anna Watts @profannawatts.bsky.social · 2d

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

He saved one of Donald’s failing atlantic City casinos by buying high value gambling chips and never cashing them in. This way Donnie don’t report the loans to his other creditors, which violated his loan covenants and the laws governing them.

fred trump ran a variety of scams. he set up a paper firm to centralize purchasing for all of his properties, jacking up prices for materials and services , fleecing the government and his tenants and pocketing the profits which he passed to his spawn to avoid income and inheritance taxes.

Fred Trump worked hard to systematically discriminate against POCs at his federally subsidized apartment complexes , so thoroughly that he had to sign a consent decree with the FHA or lose his properties. Fred worked with the mafia to rig contracts , skim money intimidate tenants and avoid taxes.

Fred Trump was a crook just like Gold Rush pimp father Drumpf who was so loathsome that when he tried to move back to Germany -having made a fortune in the US and acquired a German wife - the German govt expelled him from the country of his birth as draft-dodging undesirable.

Without Critical AI Literacy (CAIL) in psychology (doi.org/10.31234/osf...) we risk the following:

1️⃣ misunderstanding statistical models, thinking correlation is causation;

2️⃣ confusing statistical models and cognitive models, undermining theory;

3️⃣ going against stated open science norms.

4/

The three aforementioned related themes sketched out in this
section, will play out in the AI-social psychology relationships we
will examine — namely:
a. misunderstanding of the statistical modelswhich constitute contemporary AI, leading to inter alia thinking that
correlation implies causation (Guest, 2025; Guest & Martin, 2023, 2025a, 2025b; Guest, Scharfenberg, & van Rooij,
2025; Guest, Suarez, et al., 2025);
b. confusion between statistical versus cognitive models
when it comes to their completely non-overlapping roles
when mediating between theory and observations (Guest
& Martin, 2021; Morgan & Morrison, 1999; Morrison &
Morgan, 1999; van Rooij & Baggio, 2021);
c. anti-open science practices, such as closed source code,
stolen and opaque collection and use of data, obfuscated
conflicts of interest, lack of accountability for models’
architectures, i.e. statistical methods and input-output
mappings are not well documented (Barlas et al., 2021;
Birhane & McGann, 2024; Birhane et al., 2023; Crane,
2021; Gerdes, 2022; Guest & Martin, 2025b; Guest, Suarez,
et al., 2025; Liesenfeld & Dingemanse, 2024; Liesenfeld et
al., 2023; Mirowski, 2023; Ochigame, 2019; Thorne, 2009).

Being able to detect and counteract all these three together comprises the bedrock of skills in research methods in a time when AI
is used uncritically (see Table 1). The inverse: not noticing these
are at play, or even promoting them, could be seen as engaging in
questionable research practises (QRPs; Brooker & Allum, 2024;
Neoh et al., 2023; Rubin, 2023). Therefore, in the context of critical AI literacy for social psychology, and indeed cognitive, neuro-,
and psychological sciences in general, the three points above serve
as totemic touchstones, as litmus tests for checking somebody’s
literacy in AI (Guest, 2024; Guest & Martin, 2021, 2025a, 2025b;

Guest, Scharfenberg, & van Rooij, 2025; Guest, Suarez, et al.,
2025; Suarez et al., 2025; van Rooij & Baggio, 2021; van Rooij
& Guest, 2025; van Rooij et al., 2024b). To wit, if somebody is
able to minimally articulate these three related issues, how they
manifest, and why they matter to our science, we can rest easy
they know the basics of how to critically evaluate AI products in
science.

Do you mind if I post this to LinkedIn? Tech Headhunter here and I have a ton of true believers in my feed (“AI Hullmpers” as one of my wag friends called them) and need to get some pushback out there. every platform and software I deal with has sone “AI sauce” , some useful some trash.

I can recall helping a friend carry a LISP machine up a flight of stairs in NYC in 1986. Symbolics, IIRC.
Thank you, your team & your collaborators for pushing back & debunking AI snake oil. It is sucking up all the attention , investment and talent & will lead to tears. We’re not ready.

I collected some materials on critical AI from my perspective; hope it's useful: olivia.science/ai

"CAIL is as an umbrella for all the prerequisite knowledge required to have an expert-level critical perspective, such as to tell apart nonsense hype from true theoretical computer scientific claims"

if the debt mattered to the GOP, lose the 3-5T in tax cuts for billionaires, close the carried interest loophole and otherwise work over wealth. Instead of acting as if your job is to cull the herd via health coverage vandalism and shower the richies with money they won't even spend
