why don't replicators replicate themselves or each other or areas they have experience and expertise in?
wouldn't it lead to better outcomes?

Many Labs 4 preregistered both 60 and 80 as minimum participant cut offs. when it came time to report the results, 60p cut off had better results for replicators, so that is the one that got reported.. what does that mean?

Notice that *small* p values --- those with high evidential weight --- are mapped to 0, and values near the significance criterion are mapped to arbitrarily large values. This means that positive evidence is destroyed, and negative evidence is given very heavy weight! Example: suppose you... 5/?

I guessed you’d bring this up.
You should read more about replication. Scientists really don’t do it, you know. They never did, in the real world.

Id also like information on your false + rate, and what steps you take to safeguard people who might be falsely accused.
I assume you have this material prepared, since it would be needed for any real ethics approval .. ?

I am sure @science.org @cos.io @nature.com @currentbiology.bsky.social @plosbiology.org also have an interest in your setting an example in this regard and making clear that you did not actually get ethical approval for the study, and you did not take any precautions about false positives?

in 20 years the field is going to see the replicability movement for the mistake it was, and those who spent their time will just be forgotten.

@minzlicht.bsky.social the longer you delay the QReP paper from coming out the worse off you and yours are going to look when it does come out - and the more years you and yours will have wasted.
we have an empirical paper coming that handles all your 'criticisms' e.g., no expertise, no piloting

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Cheating with an LLM is the easiest thing in the world for a student to do, but it creates a massive, laborious headache for a prof, if you intend to take it seriously. There’s meetings, emails, discussions, moral dilemmas. It’s just incredibly burdensome, on top of everything else right now.
I had 9 meetings about students using Chat GPT/LLMs on their papers today.

when real money is on the line the truth comes out
New data on the corporate ROI from generative AI from a large-scale tracking survey by my colleagues at Wharton.
They found that 75% already have a positive return on investment from AI, less than 5% negative. Also 46% of businesses leaders use AI daily. knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/special-repo...
