Our new research paper is out in NHB, which we apparently coauthored with acclaimed actor Ryan Reynolds. Critics are calling it his best work since Deadpool.

In this article, Maier et al. show that metacognitive learning from consequences can shape moral decision-making. @maxmaier.bsky.social @vancityreynolds.bsky.social @vanessachg.bsky.social

We updated our preprint on moral decision-making in LLMs (osf.io/preprints/ps...) with a new study investigating sources of the yes-no framing bias and amplified omission bias. Results show that they likely arise from fine-tuning for chatbot applications. (w/ @maxmaier.bsky.social and Falk Lieder)

Intriguing new work from @vanessachg.bsky.social
