Short piece with @andrea and @Iris that aims to address errors on our understanding of the role of scientific models. This is deeply related also to AI misuse seen everywhere not just psychology, as we explain:

On Models, Prediction, and Scientific Roles Thereof: Commentary on Sanbonmatsu et al. (2025)

On Models, Prediction, and Scientific Roles Thereof: Commentary on Sanbonmatsu et al. (2025)

We commend Sanbonmatsu et al. (2025) for centring metatheory and metamethod as remedies to “difficult research problems”. However, we wish to depart from their conceptualisation of what models are and what role they play in psychological theorising. Under computationalism, models are not a container for observations through being fit to neurobehavioural data and should not be held to the standard of providing us with numerical predictions. Computational cognitive models can only play their role of mediating from theory to data and back, if and only if we buttress their special status against confusions with other model types, such as with inferential statistical models of the data. This is a realistic goal for our fields. Ultimately, theory crisis or not, blurring the boundary between model, theory, and data in our metatheoretical calculus, results in many of the problems all authors have pointed out.

Scandalous data hoarding with basic control failures by #Europol - exposed by Computer Weekly. Years of illegal operations.

Given this, why should Europol, or their investigations, be trusted?

‘They protect the law while breaking it’: Inside Europol’s shadow IT system

Under pressure to deliver in the fight against serious cross-border crime, Europol built and operated a shadow data analysis platform containing large volumes of sensitive information, which operated without key legal and technical safeguards

Great post: "I write to think and I think to write. Putting my thoughts down into some sort of order for a blog post, for example, is one of the ways that I organize my thinking" - https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/answers-and-reasons-and-knowing-and-thinking

CAIL = prerequisite knowledge for a critical perspective, such as to tell apart nonsense hype from true theoretical computer scientific claims. For example, the idea that human-like systems are a sensible or possible goal is the result of circular reasoning and anthropomorphism.

Paper Finds That Leading AI Chatbots Like ChatGPT and Claude Remain Incredibly Sycophantic, Resulting in Twisted Effects on Users

A study found that sycophancy is pervasive among chatbots, and that bots are more likely than human peers to affirm a person's bad behavior.
