humans are inference machines

We know that humans are inference machines. With very little information, people can guess at rates above chance whether someone is a psychopath. With a 10-second video clip, people can correctly guess whether someone is gay 81 percent of the time. To many, “stereotype” is a word practically synonymous with “false,” but stereotype accuracy is one of the best replicated findings in psychology. --Intuitive behavioral genetics by Diana Fleischman

most of this is not new, but the part about hereditary rule and Clinton relatives is interesting. Fleischman calls this intuitive behavioral genetics.

and now replace humans with LLM
