Overheard at a conference about #AI in #Medicine:

Speaker: "I hear neurologists prefer we say that generative AI systems 'confabulate' and not that they 'hallucinate'."

Neurologist [shouting from the back of the room]: "CORRECT!"

Alright nerds,

What are the *easiest* methods to #repost or #crosspost my #Mastodon posts to #BlueSky (or vice versa)?

In other words, how can I make my BlueSky account (@byrdnick.com) post whatever I post to this Mastodon account (@ByrdNick)? (Or vice versa?)

BlueSky Crossposter™©® worked (after plenty of troubleshooting and some recoding): https://nerdculture.de/@ByrdNick/113454337286905203

After #BlueSky Crossposter 👆 stopped working for me, I found #Fedica, which has been crossposting to nearly 10 platforms (for free!):

Remember that "...WEIRDest people in the world" paper?

Now #xPhi has one: Of "171 experimental philosophy studies [from] 2017 [to] 2023 [including one of mine] most ...tested only Western populations but generalized beyond them without justification."

Incentives may be part of the issue: "studies with broader conclusions ...had higher citation impact."
