The number of shocks and disasters is increasing. What can we do to build #resilience? In my FEMA talk I argue that social capital - the ties that bind us together - are critical and can be deliberately built youtube.com/watch?v=z7A8m0…

Very little polisci work using LLMs is "replicable" in the usual sense of that term. If this sounds like a problem, come see ppr w Christopher Barrie and Lexi Palmer Thurs @ APSA 12-130pm, PCC112A. We give some theory + empirics on where things stand and where we should be trying to go

Are language models racist? Though their overt answers may not be, a @nature paper shows that multiple LLMs are prejudiced against African American English speakers, and that this bias can't easily be removed.

Now out in MCS🎯 In two experiments (N = 2735), we show that exposure to false news erodes trust in the news and fuels overconfidence in one’s ability to discern true from false news – without affecting news discernment 📰 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… 🔓

In a new correspondence in nature, I argue that regulations should mandate data access for social media researchers: nature.com/articles/d4158…

THIS. Plus, statistical models (for those that use a modeling approach) have model error, and we don't know how that maps to poll MOE.
