"If your reports don't feel safe, they won't tell you" — This is one of the clearest and most important pieces of advice I've heard for managers.
It's a perfect illustration of the "monster in the middle dilemma for navigating both social and organizational/authoritative power dynamics as a manager. Power dynamics are the monster in the middle — and if a manager doesn't actively work to mitigate that, they will fail to operate effectively as a manager…

Israel are continuously running the Trolley Dilemma thinking that they will somehow get a different outcome by ignoring the collateral effects of lots of dead and maimed people.

Last leg on our brief history of NLP (so far) is the advent of large language models with GPT-3 in 2020 and the introduction of learning from the prompt (aka few-shot learning).

Phase transitions in the Prisoner's Dilemma game on the Barabási-Albert graph with participation cost
We examine the impact of the maintenance cost of social links on cooperative behavior in the Prisoner's Dilemma game on the Barabási-Albert scale-free network with a pairwise stochastic imitation. We show by means of Monte Carlo simulations and pair approximation that the cooperation frequency changes abruptly from an almost full cooperation to a much smaller value when we increase the cost of maintaining links. In the critical region, the stationary distribution is bi-modal and the system osc…

Properties of zero-determinant strategies in multichannel games
Controlling payoffs in repeated games is one of the important topics in control theory of multi-agent systems. Recently proposed zero-determinant strategies enable players to unilaterally enforce linear relations between payoffs. Furthermore, based on the mathematics of zero-determinant strategies, regional payoff control, in which payoffs are enforced into some feasible regions, has been discovered in social dilemma situations. More recently, theory of payoff control was extended to multichann…
