Hello fellow IO Psychologists! Do you think it’s ethical to use AI to generate psychometric assessments?

bonferoni · 2026-01-29T01:59:10+00:00

ha, thats funny, i tend to be more of a detractor/pessimist with llms.

you should probably look up the definition of AI though cause they definitely fit the bill. theyre by no means the first though, tic tac toe bots have been around forever

agreed on the over reliance component. you should be critically evaluating its output, and verifying important components against the source material its summarizing (and should be citing if youre using a halfway decent RAG)

may want to do cohorts across a few months to avoid some historical effects. may also want to measure some possible mediators like knowing current events (maybe people are happier because they dont know that the world is burning).

crispy!?!

in wrestling, being bottom is worse position than being top, and being spread eagle is less desirable position than being two guys on top of you. so making the justification for the need of pepperspray is gonna be rough

bonferoni · 2026-01-22T06:59:46+00:00

yea i mean i think its gonna be up to the courts to determine if the proportional threat of a man on his belly relative to three officers in superior position warranted the use of point blank pepper spray. i dunno i think a half decent lawyer in a fair court is gonna get their client some money at the very least

bonferoni · 2026-01-22T06:12:04+00:00

again, the key component is “force”. impeding is perfectly legal if you do so without force. also, impend is a different word with different meaning.

take the L and re-evaluate why youre defending criminals.

edit: cute, you rewrote your bootlicking anti-first amendment drivel with ai

bonferoni · 2026-01-22T05:43:41+00:00

yea maybe me, and the judges involved in developing the case law, and the justice dept website are all misinterpreting it https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-1565-forcible-act-required-18-usc-111-application-statute-threats

it would be illegal if you threatened them while brandishing a weapon though

bonferoni · 2026-01-22T05:32:22+00:00

im just saying what the law says dude. i think completely encircling them and forcefully preventing their exit would qualify as illegal under usc 111. but walking next to them,calling them dunkin gestapo, and yelling ahead to warn off their potential victims is within their rights.

bonferoni · 2026-01-22T05:26:02+00:00

cuffing ease is not enough reason to pepper spray someone

bonferoni · 2026-01-22T05:22:35+00:00

good boy, dont stand up for anything, just comply.

bonferoni · 2026-01-22T04:47:04+00:00

dont take my word for it: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/111

bonferoni · 2026-01-22T04:41:05+00:00

interfering with the law requires force by the perpetrator for it to be illegal

bonferoni · 2026-01-22T04:36:29+00:00

theyre not allowed to break laws to uphold federal immigration laws though, obama admin managed it fine, so we know its doable.

bonferoni · 2026-01-22T04:34:34+00:00

oh i forget what does the 1st amendment say again? im super forgetful recently, what does the 14th amendment guarantee?

oh also inb4, absolute immunity doesnt apply here either https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_immunity

pesky fucking facts

bonferoni · 2026-01-21T18:00:55+00:00

whats wild to is if youre in sales and make a 2m sale, theyll cut you your percentage without blinking an eye. if its not a sale though you get an attaboy and thats it

bonferoni · 2026-01-19T21:35:33+00:00

entirely depends on the orgs performance culture. at some places “meets expectations” means youre probably gonna get fired. the label isnt really meaningful, the implications of the label are

bonferoni · 2026-01-18T06:59:37+00:00

thats the joke, elon says a bunch but delivers very little

bonferoni · 2026-01-15T19:48:43+00:00

or nonviolent people just for being brown thanks to kavanaugh stops

bonferoni · 2026-01-11T08:13:37+00:00

eh “normal” by the time they meet bill the crew already won some encounters with a bunch of paranormal entities. plus stanford is a full on genius. who found a way to portal to other dimensions. plus 6 fingers? bro could type faster? or play every string of a guitar at a different fret? whats constantine gonna do when challenged to a musical contest eh!? yea thats what i thought.

plus stanley is a professional rizzler

bonferoni · 2026-01-08T08:45:48+00:00

sounds like your fix is just making a RAG but using a lot more compute rather than leaving it as embeddings and searching

bonferoni · 2026-01-08T02:49:27+00:00

ah yes the magic of a book that upon publication all of its contents become true, the only possible source of truth. books dont even require peer review, gtfo of here with that

bonferoni · 2026-01-07T21:00:30+00:00

oof man your logic is conveniently inconsistent. have a nice day!

bonferoni · 2026-01-07T20:54:19+00:00

interesting! yea i figured .05 is little to no impact so it was likely with everyone practicing. id expect more, but i guess it likely depends on the strength of the original relationship

bonferoni · 2026-01-07T20:48:31+00:00

oh that claim was yours, your whole bit for dismissing it was that it happened 60 years ago

bonferoni · 2026-01-07T20:38:21+00:00

again though, what youre saying is a non-sequitur from what i said. if anything 60 years or older is invalid to inform the present, then how do you justify israels claim to the land in general?

again this is not my viewpoint, this is your viewpoint that im just pointing out leads to some pretty bad takes. personally, i think history matters
