#Microsoft's viral paper about *correlations* between #AI use and #criticalThinking also has "impact" in the title (despite admitting "Our analysis does not establish #causation"). 
#Confidence in #GenAI predicted LESS critical thinking.
SELF-confidence predicted MORE critical thinking.
PREDICTED ≠ CAUSED
Unwise Thoughts
Unwise thoughts create suffering. Your present unwise thoughts create future suffering. Your past unwise thoughts create present suffering.

Now, I'm not saying that cocktails in general or my drinks-making ability specifically have magical healing powers but my wife, who's had cough/cold symptoms for the last few days, hasn't coughed or sneezed or sniffed once this evening while I've been whipping up some gorgeous raspberrytinis.
@simplicitarian While walking is a good thing, can't always its a causative effect for a long life.
However, not driving means I don't have to park or move a car which means there's more time for things like calling Gov. Kathy Hochul to ask for congestion pricing and participate in community affairs.

dear mastodons, I am looking for a list of causal verbs and causal words in Italian for a study on health information in English and Italian. Found several in English, should I just translate them. Any pointer will be appreciated. #NLP #digitalhumanities #causation

This is the fountainhead of science. Just that this is by a theorist who lived over 2500 years ago, the first scientist ! #science #scientists #Buddha #causation
Yes. You'll find a lot with a #duckduckgo search.
From the #EvolutionaryBiology perspective there is the human need to see patterns where there are none.
"That cloud looks like an elephant." for example.
#Causation vs #Correlation challenges everywhere.
The quote, "Never attribute to intention what can be explained by incompetence." has many variations that push back on our tendency to jump to the nefarious when the truth is more banal.
We’ve all heard the thing where mom says, “don’t go in the water for at least an hour after eating.”
I wonder how many generations of mothers, going back how many hundreds of thousands of years, in how many human and pre-human species, have cautioned their children about this because they saw what could happen?
And scientists are finally getting around to testing whether it’s really #causation, or just #correlation.
Connecting the dots regarding #China, #Russia, #Ukraine, #Iran, #SaudiArabia, #Israel. #BFD
Meanwhile, #Russia too is distancing itself from #Trump #VP #JDVance if its state TV coverage of #Vance reported by #JuliaDavis is to be believed
All of the above are discrete data points, and we know that EVERYONE who confuses #correlation and #causation ends up dying.
Still, it is tantalizing to imagine the implications if these are indeed connected
