Should we do this with PsyArXiv too?
wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

New policy: if you want to complain about PsyArxiv (a free service that didn’t exist 15 years ago), you must sign up to be a moderator.
Due to a recent influx of problematic submissions, PsyArXiv has switched to pre-moderating its content. If your submitted preprint had not yet been approved, it will be temporarily inaccessible to the public (you can still view your preprint when logged into your OSF account). #PsychSciSky

How do we balance external attention to the outside world and internal attention to our thoughts & memories?
We review evidence that external and internal attention can compete, unfold concurrently, or cooperate!
Loved working on this with @samversc.bsky.social & @tobiasegner.bsky.social!

![Figure 1
Illustration of why AI systems cannot realistically scale to human cognition within the foreseeable future: (b) Human cognitive capacities (such as reasoning, communication, problem solving, learning, concept formation, planning etc.) can handle unbounded situations across many domains, ranging from simple to complex. (a) Engineers create AI systems using machine learning from human data. (d) In an attempt to approximate human cognition a lot of data is consumed. (c) Making AI systems that approximate human cognition is intractable (van Rooij, Guest, et al., 2024), i.e., the required resources (e.g. time, data) grows prohibitively fast as input domains get more complex, leading to diminishing returns. (a) Any existing AI system is
created in limited time (hours, months or years, not millennia or eons). Therefore, existing AI systems cannot realistically have the domain-general cognitive capacities that humans have.
