Psychological science is going global, using larger, more representative samples. These are a massive public good.

But I argue that these global projects are an administrative beast and we need more grant $$$ to support data collective in lower-income countries.

Psychology takes a global view
Global research collaborations are seeking larger, more representative samples in investigating shared urgent challenges.

Very cool finding. Would love to see cross-cultural comparisons of human groups. Which cultures would come closest to beating the ants?
A new study finds ants best humans at tests of collective intelligence.

In spring 1976, I was 16, fascinated w politics, & geeking out on the Dem primaries. Jimmy Carter wasn’t my top choice in the Dem field--I was suspicious of his Deep South roots & religious rhetoric. But when he won the nomination, I signed up. #Plains #RIPJimmyCarter

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image.

All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.
