Significance

As AI tools become increasingly prevalent in workplaces, understanding the social dynamics of AI adoption is crucial. Through four experiments with over 4,400 participants, we reveal a social penalty for AI use: Individuals who use AI tools face negative judgments about their competence and motivation from others. These judgments manifest as both anticipated and actual social penalties, creating a paradox where productivity-enhancing AI tools can simultaneously improve performance and damage one’s professional reputation. Our findings identify a potential barrier to AI adoption and highlight how social perceptions may reduce the acceptance of helpful technologies in the workplace.

Abstract

Despite the rapid proliferation of AI tools, we know little about how people who use them are perceived by others. Drawing on theories of attribution and impression management, we propose that people believe they will be evaluated negatively by others for using AI tools and that this belief is justified. We examine these predictions in four preregistered experiments (N = 4,439) and find that people who use AI at work anticipate and receive negative evaluations regarding their competence and motivation. Further, we find evidence that these social evaluations affect assessments of job candidates. Our findings reveal a dilemma for people considering adopting AI tools: Although AI can enhance productivity, its use carries social costs.

Meta has banned a prominent Muslim news page on Instagram in India at the government’s request, the account’s founder said on Wednesday, denouncing the move as “censorship” as hostilities escalate between India and Pakistan.

Instagram users in India trying to access posts from the handle @Muslim – a page with 6.7 million followers – were met with a message stating: “Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content.”v

I enjoyed this breakdown of Meta and Zuck's constant drive for growth and the tragic way investors eat the narrative wholesale. Enjoy!

“Depending on the scenario, we saw up to 63 percent improvement in battery lifespan,” Stammeshaus said. “We generally say ‘up to 50 percent’ because it’s easier to communicate, but the data is clear.”

A read-only demo of Sriracha's output is available. Screenshots of the management panel are also available in the demo.

Sriracha allows anyone to host an imageboard or forum using Go.

Sriracha has full support for custom templating. Standard .gohtml templates are included, and site owners may specify a directory where any custom templates of the same name will override included templates.

Sriracha makes use of Go's plugin support to implement a plugin system. This allows site owners to customize their installations without making changes to Sriracha itself.

I created Sriracha not only out of curiosity, but also to provide a modern upgrade path for everyone using TinyIB, one of several imageboard systems I have created.
