New twist on #marshmallowtest shows power of a #promise
If #children are paired in a marshmallow test and one promises not to eat their treat, the other is much more likely to also refrain from eating it.
Any parent could tell you that children of this age are really big on the importance of promises, and science largely concurs; a promise has been shown to enhance interdependent cooperation in this age group.
Younger children were slightly more likely to succeed.

Ars Technica · New twist on marshmallow test shows power of a promiseBy Jennifer Ouellette

Yay, out now: "AI #Narrative Breakdown. A Critical Assessment of #Power and #Promise", doi.org/10.1145/3715275.373208

"This article scrutinizes the pervasive narratives that are shaping the societal engagement with #artificial #intelligence (AI) such as agency & decision-making, autonomy, truthfulness, knowledge processing, prediction, general purpose, neutrality & objectivity, apolitical optimization, sustainability game-changer, democratization, mass unemployment, & the dualistic portrayal of AI as either a harbinger of societal utopia or dystopia. The article introduces the notion of "#Zeitgeist AI" to critique the misleading application of the term "AI" across various societal sectors. Then, by discussing the narratives with nuance, the article contextualises & deconstructs often assumed socio-political implications of AI, uncovering in detail and with examples the inherent political, #power infused & value-laden decisions within all AI applications."

"The Sweetest Taboo" is a song by English band #Sade from their second studio album, #Promise (1985). It was released in October 1985 as the album's lead single. While the song peaked at number 31 on the #UKSinglesChart, it fared considerably better in the United States, where it reached number five on the #Billboard Hot 100 in March 1986, remaining in the top 40 for 13 weeks.
