These 10 years on Twitter have been an amazing adventure. Thanks for making it so special and so intriguing! I am taking a break, the recommender system here has started to profile and pollute lines in ways that I do not like. Reach me here: bsky.app/profile/massimost.b…

Happy 2025! 🎉 This will be the year my PENSO project starts, with a funding of 1.3 #million EUR from Fondo Italiano per la Scienza (FIS2). As the only PI, my team will investigate the psychological implications of how #LLMs can convince, support and teach to humans. So exciting!

By mapping the meanings of the words used to communicate emotions across more than one-third of the planet’s spoken languages, a study in Science found that there is significant variation in how emotions are expressed across cultures. #ScienceMagArchives scim.ag/4gGECui

How creative are large language models compared to humans? This paper tested 13 standardized creativity tasks, finding LLMs rank at the 52nd percentile overall - essentially average at ideation tasks but notably weaker at creative writing. arxiv.org/abs/2412.03151

Meta-analysis of PISA creative thinking data by @BenjaminGoecke across 62 countries (n=493,660) finds SES is a strong predictor of creativity, along with gender: girls scored higher than boys—a bigger gender gap than boys’ slight advantage in math. osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/zy…

...and Haiku, #LWOW mirrors the SWOW data repository, coordinated by S. De Deyne @5i111011 and other international researchers. 👇 In the presenting white paper here on ArXiv - arxiv.org/abs/2412.01330 - we show how free associations can be used to highlight #gender #bias.
