We've officially moved the @DeepBeliefsLab to Ohio State! We have a new Substack post to celebrate. And contrary to popular belief, the @thesummeritp reference in the title was not my doing!

AI making moral decisions is like an alien judge. It gives verdicts, but we can't see how it thinks. We made AI “think” more like people by narrowing its focus to a few key moral cues. This AI better predicted people’s moral judgments & was more trusted. Preprint🧵

Feeling mixed feelings on my last day as lab manager in the @DeepBeliefsLab. It's been an amazing two years working with @kurtjgray and I'm so grateful for all the amazing people I've worked with. But lots to look forward to starting at UCLA in two months w @social_brains!
