every single study done on this shows that the actual best behavior is done under consistent pseudonyms and people behave worse under real names
it’s counterintuitive but at this point the real names thing is willful denial of evidence

DOJ: I recognize that in many respects, that's counterintuitive, but it's a counterintuitive area of law, given complexity. In Ragbir, only reason circuit court granted habeas review was no prospect for other review.
Judge: Ragbir suggests flexibility in extraordinary circumstances!

I sort of love how many articles these days are "Here's a counterintuitive take - what if conventional economics is applicable to the modern world?"
In spite of all the talk of Claude Code and Codex meaning the end of humans writing code, software job adverts are actually going up, according to @jburnmurdoch.ft.com's crunching of millions of job ads for this week's The AI Shift www.ft.com/content/7325...

The perfect Yglesias post: declaring “billionaires are good, actually,” as if it was some bold, counterintuitive take.

Nothing destroys religion better than a state church, and nothing protects it better than secular government. Counterintuitive but true
The data is stark. Iran: 47% report losing their religion, regime officials openly worry about godlessness. Turkey: atheism jumps from 2% to 10% since the 2000s. When religious practice signals political power rather than virtue, the public stops equating piety with morality.

Seems counterintuitive (AI ISN’T democratizing??) but spot on.
There’s a reason that the very day the GOP was introducing a bill that would *ban states from making laws related to AI* the AI execs themselves were in Saudi Arabia with Trump, minting billion dollar deals.
AI has become an oligarchic project — and democracy an impediment.

It sounds counterintuitive, but when a war ends is generally decided by the losing party agreeing to terms
Interstate war does not end when you decide to conclude your preplanned campaign, it ends when both sides agree to it, or one side is no longer of prosecuting it. If you decide to end your military operation, and the other side doesn't reciprocate, the war isn't actually over!

Interesting counterintuitive result!
When a user attributes consciousness to a chatbot, does it affect trust? In this new study, we guessed people more willing to attribute consciousness to chatGPT would trust it more on a factual matter - but found substantial evidence AGAINST this. (1/5) www.nature.com/articles/s44...
