Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — arXiv
It ranks mainly on source trust: arXiv is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Link-outLink-out, because it did not clear the bar for a write-up. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 26% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trustleads | 0.25 | 0.85 | +0.212 41% | arXiv is the highest-trust source on this story and is first-party — the organisation announcing its own news. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.83 | +0.166 32% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
Foundation models are increasingly deployed as agentic systems that perceive context and act autonomously, raising the need to evaluate their moral behavior as active decision-makers. Existing benchmarks, however, largely ask models to judge human actions from third-person textual vignettes, leaving untested how models behave when they themselves become the acting agent. We introduce ABHBench, a multimodal benchmark built from Detroit: Become Human, an interactive narrative game, to evaluate how foundation models make moral decisions in first-person human-android dilemmas. ABHBench places foundation models in branching narrative scenarios with visual observations, dialogue, memory, and action choices.
