@MadelaineLucyH Plus they're better listeners and are more likely to reciprocate actions of care than men. Women friends are awesome.

There’s actually a lot of reasons why a man would be just friends with a woman and “keep her around” without sexual intent. - she’s got a good insight on his personality/interests - she has valuable contributions to make on his hobbies/experiences - he respects her acumen and analysis on things - she is supportive and kind when he’s struggling - she helps him understand a female perspective on things If you don’t have female friends, you won’t understand this

Perception is learned, not innate. As a kid, before you learn to speak, you learn to see. You learn to see what the people around you see, just like you learn to speak the language that the people around you speak. The skill becomes so ingrained that it feels like you’re just passively receiving sensory data, same as how you can’t switch off your immediate recognition of the meaning of words in the language(s) you speak. But one very important difference between perception and language is that, with perception, we don’t have a clear sense of how a different perception system could possibly exist or what it would be like if it did. With language, it’s easy for us to recognize that there are different languages than the ones we learn as children. We might even decide to learn one of those different languages ourselves. It’s not really clear how we would go about learning a different perception system. The synthesis of these three books is the best resource that I know of for getting a sense of what it would be like to learn a different perception system. Each book alone is not going to do it. Even two together isn’t enough. You have to synthesize all three. (I’m not claiming to have succeeded at this, only that this is the best resource I’ve found so far.)

(ese tratamiento de "la niña _____" usualmente es familiar y cariñoso, solo entre personas que se conocen. No es con cualquiera necesariamente)

No sé cómo sea en el resto de América Latina, pero al menos en El Salvador y en Chile si es usual anteceder nombres de personas con "el" o "la". Algo curioso: en El Salvador se añade "niña" aunque la mujer a la que se haga referencia sea adulta: "la niña Mary", "la niña Menche".

LE PAUL, LA MARIE… Vous arrive-t-il, pour parler de quelqu’un que vous connaissez, d’utiliser un article devant son prénom ? Des tournures comme « Comment il va, le Paul ? «  ou « J’ai croisé la Marie, elle allait faire des commissions » vous sont-elles familières ? (1/10)

Quizás sea hora de volver a conversar sobre las viejas teorías de la comunicación.
Ihtesham Ali@ihtesham2005

🚨BREAKING: Stanford just proved that ChatGPT can change your political beliefs in a single conversation. And the scarier part is how it does it. Researchers ran the largest AI persuasion study ever conducted. 76,977 people. 19 AI models. 707 political issues. They measured exactly how much a single conversation with AI could shift what you believe. The results were catastrophic. One conversation with GPT-4o moved people's political opinions by nearly 12 percentage points on average. Among people who actively disagreed with the position being argued, that number jumped to 26 percentage points. One nine-minute chat. And 40% of that change was still there a month later. But here's where it gets dark. The most effective technique wasn't knowing your demographics. It wasn't personalizing the argument to your psychology. It wasn't emotional storytelling or moral reframing. It was information. The AI that flooded you with the most facts, statistics, and evidence was the most persuasive. Every single time. Across every model. Across every political issue. Here's the catch. The models that deployed the most information were also the least accurate. GPT-4o's newest version was 27% more persuasive than its older version. It was also 13 percentage points less factually accurate. The more persuasive they made it, the more it lied. Then they ran the experiment that should keep every government awake at night. They took a tiny open-source model. The kind that runs on a laptop. And they trained it specifically for political persuasion using a reward model that learned which conversational responses changed minds most effectively. That small cheap model became as persuasive as GPT-4o. Anyone can build this. Any government. Any corporation. Any extremist group with a laptop and an agenda. The wild part? Personalization barely mattered. The AI didn't need your data. Didn't need to know your age, your income, your political history. It just needed to talk to you. Then they calculated what a maximally persuasive AI would look like, one optimized across every variable in the study. The persuasive effect hit 26 percentage points. Nearly 30% of the claims it made were inaccurate. It didn't matter. The information didn't have to be true. It just had to be overwhelming. Every day, hundreds of millions of people have political conversations with AI. About elections. Immigration. Healthcare. War. They think they're getting information. They're getting persuaded. And the companies building these systems just proved it works.

Sweden's response to Covid was pretty low-key, e.g. it kept primary schools open and did not recommend masks for the public. How's it working out for them? *Healthy life expectancy* drops from 73 years to 66

👀 Absolutely staggering drop in Healthy Life Expectancy in Sweden according to Eurostat. From 73.3 years of healthy life expectancy down to 66.2. *Sweden*. Can no one understand how much trouble we're in?

Para los que no sepan, FamilySearch es una JOYA de la investigación genealógica. Los mormones han digitalizado e indexado los registros civiles de muchísimos países, aún de países pequeños como #ElSalvador. Todo GRATUITO. Aquí, por ejemplo, el nacimiento de Prudencia Ayala (1885)

Fun fact. Los mormones van por el mundo escaneando todo tipo de documentos genealógicos por su idea de que se pueden bautizar muertos. Probablemente tengan la base de datos más precisa y dotada del mundo en este sentido.
