Last night, Wilma 🐶 collaborated with a dog skeleton to scare more people 💀. Today the decoration goes back in the box - but has Wilma learnt how to scare more people? 🫣 1/🧵

Wilma shakes the dust off her fur 🐶 . Some public employers would love a shake like that: can their job ads shake off the sometimes dusty image of public service? 1/🧵

Wilma has had a long day as head of the household. She has guarded the door, supervised dinner and kept an eye on every visitor. Now she is lying flat out on the floor. Is being in charge worth it? 😴 1/🧵

Wilma 🐶 just jumped high, maybe higher than ever. Impressive! Did she do this alone, or did she have some help? 🤔 1/🧵

Wilma 🐶 has an impressive CV: expert nose, years of sniffing experience, efficient removal of food leftovers. But that's not why we love her. It's the head tilt. She listens 👂 1/🧵

How did Wilma 🐶 learn to jump on large, felled trees? Not from a manual. She learned it one try at a time and with feedback (🦴).

So she was puzzled to hear that most studies of humans working with AI never tell people whether they got it right. 1/🧵

Wilma 🐶 has accepted that there are fences 🚧. A fence doesn't ask, it doesn't make exceptions, and it doesn't care that the neighbor's cat is getting away. So, Wilma dug a hole ... a burdensome workaround. 🕳️ 🧵

Wilma 🐶 knows the drill when entering the dog forest. She's waiting for the person one level higher in the hierarchy to give a signal. 🦮

Public employees also turn to their managers when politicians start bending the rules of democracy.

Wilma 🐶 takes treats very seriously. There are two ways to get it wrong: hand a treat to a dog who hasn't earned it, or refuse one to a dog who has. Humans lose a lot of sleep over the first mistake. Wilma is much more worried about the second. 🦴

Wilma 🐶 has food in her bowl. Pluto next to her does not. Wilma sees absolutely no problem here... 🍖

An article by Ernst Fehr and Keyu Wu argues the old question, whether people care about fairness, is settled. Here is what we need more research about: 🔬

Wilma 🐶 gets offered a helping hand. She takes a good long look at it, still not convinced. The help is real, the worry too. 🤨

Something similar happens when governments try to make citizens' life easier.

Wilma 🐶 gets studies from everywhere. But how can she sniff out what's reliable evidence? When in doubt she trusts what comes from her own backyard, Wilma thinks 👃

Turns out many governments run on the opposite instinct when citing research.

What an ulti-mutt honor to have Wilma sniff out our research!

Wilma 🐶 may be hesitant about making the next step, like people who people who want to take their next career step, maybe into the public sector. New research by Sciepura, Wall and @elizabethlinos.bsky.social shows that...

Wilma 🐶 is alarmed. The door is closed, and she can't keep an eye on the child on the other side...

Child protection offices face a far heavier problem: an immense case load.

Wilma 🐶 has strong feelings about the robot lawnmower. It patrols the garden without asking, it decides its own route, and no amount of barking makes it stop. 🤖

Sometimes citizens may feel something similar about AI in government.

At dog parks, Wilma 🐶 knows that the gates are locked and everything is fenced in. She can't leave, so all she has left is her voice.

Wilma 🐶 knows the rules: Don’t pull too hard on the leash or run away. But whether she actually behaved depends less on the rule itself, and more on who’s asking… and whether how good something smells. 1/🧵

Wilma 🐶 tends to search a treat 🍪 under the cup that's closer to her. Is that a good idea? She had a visit from Catarina Mantas, who gave her critical feedback on her performance. 1/🧵

Wilma 🐶 has stationed herself under the high chair, waiting for something delicious to fall. The tricky part comes when two equally tempting things drop at once... She can't decide which to grab first, so her choice looks completely random. 1/🧵

Wilma 🐶 has a visitor at work: Roos Mulder. Wilma is keeping Roos firmly in her "line of sight" at all times; you never know when a treat might appear 🦴. As it happens, "line of sight" matters far beyond snack management.

Wilma sniffs spring flowers with great authority, certain she can tell every scent apart. Rhododendron? 🌸 Easy. Neighbour's tulip vs. this one? No problem. Is Wilma overconfident? 😏 Turns out, at least humans are. A new study by Heck, Benjamin, Simons & Chabris
