10:42—Good Morning #Fediverse!
Being #ActuallyAutistic, I am currently hyperfixated on this image. I have been staring at it for an extended period, analyzing every detail.
I keep noticing new things every time I look at it. My brain is in “info-dump mode” and I could pr…

By midday, hundreds had gathered outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles,
where people were detained after earlier immigration raids.
Protesters directed chants of “shame” and “go home”
at members of the National Guard, who stood shoulder to shoulder, carrying long guns and riot shields.
After some protesters closely approached the guard members,
another set of uniformed officers advanced on the group, shooting smoke-filled canisters in…

Movie Facts and Fibs (MF$^2$): A Benchmark for Long Movie Understanding
Despite recent progress in vision-language models (VLMs), holistic understanding of long-form video content remains a significant challenge, partly due to limitations in current benchmarks. Many focus on peripheral, ``needle-in-a-haystack'' details, encouraging context-insensitive retrieval over deep comprehension. Others rely on large-scale, semi-automatically generated questions (often produced by language models themselves) that are easier for models to answer but fail to reflect genuine und…

“What AI sells is vastly different from what it delivers, particularly what it delivers out of the box.”
The post gives some great context on the study of “the difference between work-as-imagined (WAI) and work-as-done (WAD),” and says:
“If what we have to do to be productive with LLMs is to add a lot of scaffolding and invest effort to gain important but poorly defined skills, we should be able to assume that what we’re sold and what we get are rather different things. That gap implies that better designed artifacts could have better affordances, and be more appropriate to the task at hand.”

Personalized Large Language Models Can Increase the Belief Accuracy of Social Networks
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly involved in shaping public understanding on contested issues. This has led to substantial discussion about the potential of LLMs to reinforce or correct misperceptions. While existing literature documents the impact of LLMs on individuals' beliefs, limited work explores how LLMs affect social networks. We address this gap with a pre-registered experiment (N = 1265) around the 2024 US presidential election, where we empirically explore the impact of …
