How am I now expected to believe that two people looked at the paper twice and DGAF?

What a pretty tree, and I'm sure Jinx is a bit mesmerized by it.
I found this the other day, and it fits your picture. ❤️

they are documenting baboons doing baboon things it seems

Dangerous and wrong. These 'headlines' are clickbait in my opinion

I came here to say something like that myself!

I hope you take a look at the resources that professors Iris van Rooij and Olivia Guest are sharing. They are both Ph.D. in computational and cognitive science (in Artificial Intelligence departments). I think Iris has commented on this thread somewhere olivia.science/ai#letter

A perfect storm perhaps: COVID damage (both biological and sociological), long term consequences of smart phone/social media, under-resourced education systems, etc. And now genAI will finish us all off. Sigh. On that happy note ...

A catastrophic drop in performance/motivation from just last year. Seems like frontal lobe disorder; COVID damage? One student sat in front and said, "I know I need to do more" but just sat there, and couldn't. Very Phineas Gage-like. A huge problem with no easy solution in sight. Faculty too.

Our faculty just had a discussion about the catastrophic failure in performance we are seeing this year, even compared to last. I liken it to frontal lobe disorder. I do wonder if COVID infections are as much to blame. We are going to be in some trouble and we (faculty) won't be able to fix it

Thank you. These work now
