Not at all surprised. Was disappointed in BeSci community who continued defending Ariely after his frauduelent work was revealed by Data Colada.
Here’s Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely asking Jeffrey Epstein for “the name and email of the redhead that was here with you.” This is four years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.

From a BeSci perspective, we should be mindful of cognitive biases like the 𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗼 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁, where positive attributes of one aspect can overshadow others, and 𝗶𝗻-𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗯𝗶𝗮𝘀, where we favour what's familiar. 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗮𝘀 and the 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 can also make perceive familiar tech as safer.

I ran my 1st BE field RCT in 2009 at a bank. Then in ‘10 founded a firm DEDICATED to the practice of BE where I lead & designed <350 BeSci projects, supervising teams of PhDs. I currently lead the behavioral science practice at a global management firm.

And in some vague sense, it is somehow equivalent, although I agree with you on the details, it's not rigorous at all.
I worry that people focus on large-scale replication projects because they've given up on the actual besci underneath. The population of studies is not great...

#SyntheticUsers, who are they?
According to Frontline BeSci (2024), a “synthetic user,” or the more widely known academic term “synthetic respondent,” is an artificially created user profile powered by LLMs. It simulates the behavioral and psychological characteristics of a real human.

What’s your TPOT origin story?
I majored in behavioral economics in college then did BeSci product consulting postgrad, which put me adjacent to rationalist and effective altruist communities. Postgrad I got into tools for thought, which had a big TPOT presence due to Roam’s founder.

So, as an applied behavioral science, welcome to “human risk” or other fancy names for “the weakest link is not the tech”. BeSci has become quite popular in infosec.

Simple #design changes in EHR alerts, like presenting two or three good options instead of just one, could help #doctors provide #bettercare. But if these systems rely on outdated evidence, they risk doing more harm than good.
