LLMs are now widely used in social science as stand-ins for humans—assuming they can produce realistic, human-like text But... can they? We don’t actually know. In our new study, we develop a Computational Turing Test. And our findings are striking: LLMs may be far less human-like than we think.🧵

This is the best parody of the AGI2027 report to date. Unintentionally from the Dallas Fed

In the middle of debugging, Claude told me that a file was corrupted and then, in all caps, that this was VERY DANGEROUS, to BACKUP EVERYTHING and contact IT for help. It was all made up. The file was fine. There was no problem. WTF Claude
