Great thread reflecting upon the use of LLM-based simulations to run experiments that inform science, systems, and policy. Here’s the final post in the thread.
anyway, what really matters here is that a lot of big companies will stop doing user testing with real humans and instead depend on these AI simulations. The machine will dictate the market and, should we conform to the market, we will ourselves become more like the machine. Unsubscribe.

DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.
