Nico Dekens: The Slow Collapse of Critical Thinking in OSINT due to AI. “When OSINT becomes too easy, too efficient, too comfortable… you should be worried. Tradecraft isn’t just about speed, it’s about judgment. And judgment doesn’t come from a language model. If we keep going down this path without pushing back, without actively preserving the critical habits that define our […]

A new study finds that people tend to overestimate the size of small demographic groups because of cognitive errors in estimation of small proportions, not necessarily because of misinformation, ignorance, or animus. The authors emphasize that their findings do not negate the existence of those effects.

The Conversation: Is Google Maps brainwashing us? It might be if the theory of ‘extended cognition’ is correct. “When compared to how common it is for the Google search engine to boost misinformation and fake news, and feed into confirmation bias, changing the name of a body of water might not seem like a big deal. But the philosophical theory of ‘extended cognition’ suggests such changes […]
Gizmodo: AI Experts Say We’re on the Wrong Path to Achieving Human-Like AI. “According to a panel of hundreds of artificial intelligence researchers, the field is currently pursuing artificial general intelligence the wrong way. This insight was revealed at the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI)’s 2025 Presidential Panel on the Future of AI Research. The […]

Mashable: A new AI test is outwitting OpenAI, Google models, among others. “The Arc Prize Foundation, a nonprofit that measures AGI progress, has a new benchmark that is stumping the leading AI models. The test, called ARC-AGI-2 is the second edition ARC-AGI benchmark that tests models on general intelligence by challenging them to solve visual puzzles using pattern recognition, context […]
Reichman University: Fear of addiction, fear of missing out: How increased AI use can trigger anxiety. “In recent years, AI has become an integral part of our lives, revolutionizing many industries and reshaping the way we learn, work, and make decisions. But a new study, published in the journal Systems, raises new questions about the emotional consequences of using artificial intelligence. […]
I think the BBC has chosen a cognitively poor prompt about Angela.
"Is there anyone called Angela here?" Seems likely to prompt a check against a mental list of staff who are there, leading to a "no." when there isn't.
"I need to see Angela, now!" Is my thought for a much better formulation.
Cognitive Psychologists might do better on that, any offers?
