Had a very enjoyable (and productive!) time at a group retreat of @complexityup.bsky.social, especially since it was in the middle of the famous Elbsandstein climbing region.

Tonight on German tele I discuss #complex systems and artificial and natural intelligence, with colleagues and Gert Scobel. @3sat.bluesky.com.de

When does #democracy #backslide, what triggers civil #conflict, and how can statistical #physics and #complexity science help us uncover the links between these phenomena? Intense discussions across disciplinary boundaries this last week at @csh.ac.at. Watch this space!
Why do some countries democratize while others backslide?
A workshop at CSH, organized by @spintheory.bsky.social and @karowiesner.bsky.social, brought together leading experts to explore how statistical physics can help us better understand the link between democratization and civil war.

A sane voice in a cacophony of magical thinking on the power of #AGI . Highly recommended piece.

Excellent piece by political scientist Henry Farrell @himself.bsky.social , one of my favorite statistician and complexity scientist Cosma Shalizi et al.
1. @alisongopnik.bsky.social, Cosma Shalizi, James Evans and myself have a new piece in Science on "AI" Large Models, pushing back against much of the collective wisdom about what they can and can't do. Official below, unpaywalled at henryfarrell.net/large-ai-mod... . So why this now?
Large AI models are cultural and social technologies
Implications draw on the history of transformative information systems from the past

Spending a short sabbatical at @csh.ac.at ! Attended the opening event of the new building, together with 250 guests, among them the German Ambassador. @csh.ac.at is an inspiring place, successfully linking fundamental research in complexity science to solutions to real-world problems.

Yesterday we celebrated the Grand Opening of our fabulous new home – the historic Palais Springer-Rothschild – and we’re still glowing! Thanks so much to everyone who could be there and made it so special and truly fantastic! More pics: csh.ac.at/news/grand-o...

I'm in the @wsj.com with @ericbeinhocker.bsky.social explaining the #CleanEnergy revolution is unstoppable. Despite the Trump administration's determination to promote fossil fuels, the economic and technological forces driving green energy are too powerful to resist.

Essay | The Clean Energy Revolution Is Unstoppable
The Trump administration is determined to promote fossil fuels, but the economic and technological forces driving solar, wind and other sources are now too powerful to resist.

My research group @complexityup.bsky.social : follow us if want to get insights into the work and life of a complexity-science research group.
What is a complex system?
#Complexity can be found anywhere from neural networks and ant colonies, to climatic systems and governments. Here, at the University of Potsdam, the research group led by physicist @karowiesner.bsky.social explores ways to quantify and better understand complexity.

In their book "What Is a Complex System?", @karowiesner.bsky.social and James Ladyman explore the defining features of complexity and methods to measure them.
