#Pubmed is down again. #NIH It has never been down like this for more than 20 years that I have been using it. They are likely cleaning up all mentions of gender, race, diversity, ethnicity, humanity, etc. I am confident they will not touch the keyword - 'stupidity'.

Do LLMs think? Excited to share our updated preprint critically discussing two "Justaic" stances claiming that LLMs lack cognition because they are "just" next-token predictors or "just" machines. Led by @zakashussain.bsky.social and with @ruimata.bsky.social . osf.io/preprints/os...

Excited to see this now out in the world! We identify a computational basis for how persistent underconfidence is maintained in the face of intact performance, finding that it is grounded in impaired updating of global self-beliefs from local metacognition www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/N
