I hadn't read Turing's 1950 "Computer Machinery and Intelligence" (where he introduced the imitation game, a.k.a. the Turing test) since the advent of LLMs. It's so striking that people asked so many relevant questions about artificial intelligence right at the inception of the field.

Our paper on partisan reactions to political scandal is officially published in PSPB: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... Partisans were more receptive to defensive, hostile "explanations" for misconduct from in-(vs out-)party politicians. Seems driven by desire to win > identity-protective motive

In grad school, I did a study on how the duration of touch between teammates predicted performance over the course of the entire season. This summer, I learned that the Jacksonville Jaguars coach uses our study as part of his approach to winning culture. www.nytimes.com/athletic/664...

Inside each of us, there are two Michelle Yeohs

had a ton of fun working on this poll with @today.yougov.com about the songs that everybody knows the lyrics to, the generational anthems are super neat www.numlock.com/p/numlock-su...

This is why Jim Sidanius called violence by agents of the state “official terror”

I'm reminded also of the struggle that often hits marginalized folks in media in the US: They will let you be tragic, they will let you be funny, but they won't let you be a full multidimensional person and they won't let you have your deeper culture nods without explaining it to them as tourists.

Me reading RF Kuang’s Katabasis

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

What ICE is doing in Broadview is really fucked up.

idk if disney/sinclair/nexstar understand how bad they fucked up by angering the disney influencers. i don’t fear god or kpop stans but i do fear disney adults.

NEW: Hours before a new entry ban is supposed to go into effect, the federal government officially acknowledges for the first time that the restrictions do NOT apply to people who currently have H-1B visas. Link: www.uscis.gov/sites/defaul...

I have to keep this deliberately vague, but this is a total disaster for academic research. And imposing it so suddenly is just cruel. I’ve got friends scrambling to get back to the US before midnight tonight. Do you know how hard that is to do on 36 hours of notice?

If you’re an H1B holder impacted by the new Trump executive order there are several lawsuits brewing. This is one, and there are others working in this as well. DM me if you need a connect to pro bono lawyers. redeaglelaw.com/lawsuit-inte...

Microsoft gave guidance on H1Bs to its employees last night

Reading this unfortunately timely paper right now. Every sentence makes me want to cry. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

This. No TT/non-TT/VAP job will be offered to an int'l candidate, since it requires an H1-B until the green card is issued. This process takes at least a couple of years.

Deleted the below posts out of an abundance of caution. Despite the words of the Proclamation, an unnamed White House official told New York Times that they intend to apply the $100,000 only to new applicants only. If that is correct, the implications are not as urgent.

This is the visa that the US gives to new faculty members.

This is insane. Let your friends and colleagues know.

RIP U.S. innovation. Between gutting the H-1B program, purging US scientists from civil service, slashing research grants, and disappearing international students off the streets, our government has made a conscious decision to kill America's roll as a global leader in science and innovation.

The Black in Neuro conference was both a victory lap marking the organization’s growth and a sober assessment of the political landscape. www.statnews.com/2025/09/17/b...

Let’s make this harder. You can only eat pastries or desserts from one region. Which do you choose?

Happy Mexican Independence Day, Illinois.

Update on this story: As many of us feared, it turns out that Berkeley wasn't the only UC to release personal info on its pro-palestine anti-genocide professors to the justice department, it looks they they all did. Berkeley was just the only one to tell profs they did it.

Psychologists, apply! Apparently we've mainly gotten CS applicants so far. I'd (selfishly) love to have a psychologist. Interests in AI in relation to e.g., implicit bias; cultural influences; fairness; perception; learning & memory; decision making etc. would be a good fit!
