  Hi, Organizational Psychologist here who works in a lab alongside my personality Psych research supervisor. I have never heard of this method, never read this in any of the literature, and am genuinely disgusted anyone got ethics approval to run this study. The only way we use ML to evaluate personality is using natural language due to the tenants of the lexical hypothesis. I have never seen anyone attempt to create a big five measure from facial recognition nor have I ever heard of any theoretical models for personality based on faces…except for phrenology

  I don’t know if I’m stupid or not but I tried going to peertube and I couldn’t for the life of my understand what I was looking at. It just seemed like a vague soup of instances with no continuity or ability to know what I was looking at. Maybe I accessed it wrong but I didn’t fully get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the context, there is a lot of work in the scientific methods community trying to use NLP to augment traditionally fully human processes such as thematic analysis and systematic literature reviews and you can have protocols for validation there without 100% human review

  It’s about Agents, which implies multi step as those are meant to execute a series of tasks opposed to studies looking at base LLM model performance.

  As an organizational psychologist (the people HR people pretend to be when they talk about anything besides paperwork) these stories hurt me to my core. I absolutely despise how much HR lives up to its name of treating people like they are staplers in a supply closet. The way most companies are run is so shitty and short sited it’s unreal.
