Its a consistent theory-of-mind failure in models that are otherwise suprisingly good at theory-of-mind


I hate it that the @newyorktimes tries to upsell me every time I log in, and suggest their own app for reading. They are about to lose my subscription because of it. If you are listening NY Times, you will lose a paying subscriber if you make me Click six times just to get to my paid subscription content every log in.











This seemed like a fun task for Claude Opus 4.7! joshuamandel.com/greenbergolem/ has an example run on the claim "Hydroxychloroquine improves clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19." github.com/jmandel/greenb… describes the pipeline. I spent 3-4h on this with Claude Code managing 10 parallel copilot subagents for ~12h. It can run autonomously to analyze claims where the literature is findable in full-text open access sources. github.com/jmandel/greenb… is the underlying output data with nodes, edges, and judgments driving the UI.

I will personally cheerlead anyone who can bring AI-driven critical thinking to generate a citation network with these fine-grained _judgements_ in the typology links to any specified topic. There is a lot of AI work in this area but none to my knowledge could reproduce the figure below. Please prove me wrong. #citationNetworks
