Die Bahnreisenden in Karlsruhe sind entweder sehr unerschrocken oder sie haben keine Nachrichten gehört. Jedenfalls ist der Hauptbahnhof so voll wie immer.

AI Models Exceed Individual Human Accuracy in Predicting Everyday Social Norms
A fundamental question in cognitive science concerns how social norms are acquired and represented. While humans typically learn norms through embodied social experience, we investigated whether large language models can achieve sophisticated norm understanding through statistical learning alone. Across two studies, we systematically evaluated multiple AI systems' ability to predict human social appropriateness judgments for 555 everyday scenarios by examining how closely they predicted the ave…

Affective Polarization across European Parliaments
Affective polarization, characterized by increased negativity and hostility towards opposing groups, has become a prominent feature of political discourse worldwide. Our study examines the presence of this type of polarization in a selection of European parliaments in a fully automated manner. Utilizing a comprehensive corpus of parliamentary speeches from the parliaments of six European countries, we employ natural language processing techniques to estimate parliamentarian sentiment. By compar…

Attenuation Models for Extensive Air Showers Derived from Simulations
At ultra-high energies, the flux of cosmic rays is too low for direct measurements to be meaningful. When a cosmic ray enters the atmosphere, it initiates an extensive air shower, producing a cascade of secondary particles that propagate toward the ground. Large arrays of surface detectors are used to measure these secondary particles upon arrival. The signal detected at a specific reference distance from the shower core serves as a proxy for the shower size and, consequently, as a reliable e…

What Makes AI Applications Acceptable or Unacceptable? A Predictive Moral Framework

What Makes AI Applications Acceptable or Unacceptable? A Predictive Moral Framework
As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms society, developers and policymakers struggle to anticipate which applications will face public moral resistance. We propose that these judgments are not idiosyncratic but systematic and predictable. In a large, preregistered study (N = 587, U.S. representative sample), we used a comprehensive taxonomy of 100 AI applications spanning personal and organizational contexts-including both functional uses and the moral treatment of AI itself. In particip…

Man stelle sich vor, man würde 30% der Fahrbahnen für Autos dichtmachen. Aber für Autoverkehr gibt es keine Obergrenzen, nur Mindestleistungen und vor allem Geld wie in ein Fass ohne Boden.

Weniger Bahnen, längere Wartezeiten ohne Alternative: Karlsruhe muss wegen Finanzkrise Nahverkehr kürzen
Karlsruhe muss bei den Finanzen hart durchgreifen. Die Verkehrsbetriebe beraten am 23. Juli ein im vergangenen Jahr bekannt gewordenes Sparkonzept. Der Gemeinderat entscheidet im Herbst.
