A new study finds that people tend to overestimate the size of small demographic groups because of cognitive errors in estimation of small proportions, not necessarily because of misinformation, ignorance, or animus. The authors emphasize that their findings do not negate the existence of those effects.

Mashable: A new AI test is outwitting OpenAI, Google models, among others. “The Arc Prize Foundation, a nonprofit that measures AGI progress, has a new benchmark that is stumping the leading AI models. The test, called ARC-AGI-2 is the second edition ARC-AGI benchmark that tests models on general intelligence by challenging them to solve visual puzzles using pattern recognition, context […]

I think the BBC has chosen a cognitively poor prompt about Angela.
"Is there anyone called Angela here?" Seems likely to prompt a check against a mental list of staff who are there, leading to a "no." when there isn't.
