We asked 1,917 Americans: "Are you OK?"

Only 38% said yes.

41% said things are difficult. 21% are actively struggling.

But the age breakdown is wild 🧵

AI will soon expose that most published research is mediocre, irrelevant (or simply bullsh*t). Most scientists know that, but the public doesn't... What's it going to do for trust in science when they find out - how do we plan for it? 🤔

Great article by @naomioreskes.bsky.social

What is one question you'd dearly love to ask a representative sample of 2,000 US adults?

Going to try this again because it was super interesting last time. I'll stick the best question in our next @joinprolific.bsky.social poll that goes live at the start of November.

Plot twist: What if AI's best future might not be the insanely profitable one 🤔

Great article arguing that instead of trillion-dollar empires, we could get free, open-source models that are just "good enough" for most people. Would that be so bad?

The Double Squeeze hitting Trump's base.

9 months of @joinprolific.bsky.social tracking show voters report surging costs AND growing fears of US global decline.

They voted for prosperity & strength. They got strain & decline.

Super excited to share this work with the world!

We wanted to put human preference at the heart of our AI model leaderboard, and to do so in a principled and representative manner.

The result: HUMAINE

Sharing a piece I wrote for The AI Journal on who should govern AI: aijourn.com/a-fine-balan...

Our recent @joinprolific.bsky.social polling shows 69.7% of people think AI investment will primarily benefit corporations not the public. They're probably right. [1/3]

Is #Trump right to walk back the tariffs? Our latest
Prolific polling data suggests a resounding yes! In the last month the number of US adults reporting an increase in the price of everyday goods has jumped by ~10%, even for #Republican voters 😬

I'm super happy with this video from Communications of the ACM on our paper about LLM use in crowd work. Our work will be the cover paper of CACM in March.

Has the US public's view of foreign policy changed since #DonaldTrump became president?

Our Prolific tracking polls show a general perception of a less safe world since Trump took office. This perception is strongest in #Democrats, while most #Republicans see the world as safer!

How does the US public feel about the incoming #Trump administration? We asked a representative sample of 1,938 US adults on Prolific "Are you hopeful or fearful ahead of President-elect Trump coming back to office?"

🇺🇸 Overall 46% were fearful and 41% hopeful. But stark differences in subgroups 👇

How did the debate performances of #kamalaharris and #donaldtrump impact perceptions among the public (especially in swing states)?
