SSR: Can Simulated Patients Learn to Stigmatize Themselves? Modeling Self-Stigma through Internal Monologue

new Abstract: Simulating patients with large language models (LLMs) is a promising tool for mental health training, but existing approaches fail to capture a key clinical reality: self-stigma. Patients experiencing self-stigma, the internalization of negative stereotypes, often exhibit context-sensitive resistance, such as avoidance, denial, or self-blame, which current models render as static or uniformly compliant behavior. To address this, we introduce a novel simulation framework...

Human-Like Neural Nets by Catapulting

Human-like Neural Nets by Catapulting Speculative proposal to create artificial neural nets with human-like performance by high-learning-rate/regularization training of overparameterized NNs to trigger catapulting/grokking. Over-parameterization as a route to true generalization would resolve many outstanding mysteries of artificial versus natural intelligence. There are many mysteries about deep learning and human intelligence, but we could describe the biggest anomaly this way: why are...

Benevolent dictator Zuck will give Meta staff 30-minute breaks from keylogging privacy assault

Why Henry Nowak's fatal stabbing by a Sikh man could become British Right's 'Black Lives Matter'

Albert Einstein proved that time is relative and can be bent by the force of gravity or by moving at extremely high speeds approaching light. The same goes for truth, which is often bent by numerous variables.
