I am delighted to share our new #PNAS paper, with @grvkamath.bsky.social @msonderegger.bsky.social and @sivareddyg.bsky.social, on whether age matters for the adoption of new meanings. That is, as words change meaning, does the rate of adoption vary across generations? www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....

This game from UChicago is incredible! It might be a bit painful to play, especially for those of us who already spend too much time on email, but the concept and execution are brilliant!
HR Simulator™: a game where you gaslight, deflect, and “let’s circle back” your way to victory.
Every email a boss fight, every “per my last message” a critical hit… or maybe you just overplayed your hand 🫠

Very excited that my paper with @katakeith.bsky.social is now out in @polanalysis.bsky.social. We investigate whether LLMs actually follow the instructions/definitions provided in codebooks, propose some diagnostics, and release a new evaluation dataset.

Super cool work on quantifying with NLP how language evolves through generations

In linguistics, the "apparent time hypothesis" famously discusses this but never empirically tests it
Our new paper in #PNAS (bit.ly/4fcWfma) presents a surprising finding—when words change meaning, older speakers rapidly adopt the new usage; inter-generational differences are often minor.
