Chinese TikTokers SCHOOL Trump Supporters About Their OWN Country: “You Guys are Really Dumb”

youtube.com/watch?v=uf_GCOSZ2b

Americans let oligarchs “rob” them and thank them for doing it. In this video we’ll react to the dunkfest and explain how sad it is that Americans don’t already know the things these Chinese TikTokers are trying to teach them.

'Perceived Shared Understanding Between Humans and #ArtificialIntelligence: Development and Validation of a Self-Report Scale' - an article from the American Psychological Association (APA) in ' #Technology, #Mind, and #Behavior ' on #ScienceOpen: scienceopen.com/document?vid=f

ScienceOpenPerceived Shared Understanding Between Humans and Artificial Intelligence: Development and Validation of a Self-Report Scale<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" dir="auto" id="d11201157e170">The perception of shared understanding between individuals is key to constructive meaning-making, effective collaboration, and satisfying interaction outcomes. Recent scholarship indicates this operation extends to human–artificial intelligence interactions such that a validated instrument to capture humans’ perceived shared understanding (PSU) with artificial intelligence is key to advancing work in that domain. Building on extant exploratory work, this project develops and initially validates a PSU scale in two studies. Participants shared past large-language model conversations and then reflected on them to respond to a pool of candidate scale items. Exploratory factor analysis yielded a single-factor, eight-item solution interpreted to represent a <i>social-semantic</i> construal of the artificial intelligence’s shared understanding—that is, that they are sharing meaning with someone. The scale demonstrates significant associations with theoretically relevant measures; factor structure and convergent validity are replicated in a separate sample. This novel instrument points to a convergence of sociality and meaning in PSU and serves as a springboard for future research and practical applications. </p>

The mind is a curious beast.

I might not remember if I washed a body part I literally did 2 seconds ago, or if I brushed my teeth that I just did.

But gosh darn it if I can't remember that, for this 80s pop song, the singer catches their breath right "here", or shifts vocal ranges "there".

It'll be interesting if this is just my MCI (mild cognitive impairment), or if it is early onset Alzheimer's (it unfortunately runs in my family, including my dad and his mom).
