How are people able to map knowledge from one domain to another? I'll report a series of studies showing that people's cross-domain mappings were best predicted by similarity along abstract dimensions such as valence, complexity, and genderedness - a finding that could be reliably simulated by language models. In an ongoing study, we further asked what allows people to process cross-domain mappings so easily by drawing insights from a network perspective.

But the Ukraine Crisis Media Center's Tsekhanovska points out that communications are often down in zones most affected by the war, making this sort of cross-referencing a luxury many cannot afford. Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements. Founder Pavel Durov says tech is meant to set you free The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app. "Russians are really disconnected from the reality of what happening to their country," Andrey said. "So Telegram has become essential for understanding what's going on to the Russian-speaking world."
