New paper just out in Quantitative Science Studies where we find clear evidence that geographical restrictions on ChatGPT usage have largely failed. Interestingly, OpenAI seems to have taken notice, recently ramping up enforcement efforts. w/ @sunmengyi.bsky.social @innovation.bsky.social

With Harvard, U Mass faculty, Princeton, Wesleyan, Rutgers faculty and others leading the way, academics are standing up to this lawless administration. Here is a pack of academics, former academics, and organizations worth following on Bluesky who are in this opposition

A psychology journal has retracted an article on IQ tests nearly 50 years after publication — and more than 35 years after an investigation found the lead author had fabricated data in several other studies.
More than three decades after misconduct ruling, researcher’s IQ test paper is retracted

What to do when findings from different studies don't agree? - debug your line of evidence. In this paper @sobla.bsky.social and I examine what that could mean #philsci #metasci www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

New project with @profjamesevans and my @dsi-uchicago.bsky.social friends on the largest (?) examination (~11 million papers) of how computational social science emerges from -- and shapes -- Econ, Sociology, Psych, and PoliSci. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2412.08087 A thread: (1/7)

I read the first post in this thread about mirror life, thought “they can’t mean…”, and then clicked the link.
Yep, that’s exactly what they mean. Bioengineering reversed-chirality microbes.
Vaughn’s piece is a necessary if frightening read.

I’m proud to join more than 30 colleagues today in sharing our analysis of potential risks from “mirror life”. We summarize our findings in a @science.org article, and in greater detail in a 300pg technical report:

So happy to have this paper placed at NeurIPS 2024. If I may (without humility) say, I think that it is necessary reading for anyone who uses (or intends to use) fairness evaluations for applied ML.
Excited to share our new work on causal sensitivity analysis for fairness metrics at #NeurIPS2024! We've developed a causal sensitivity analysis framework to understand how underlying measurement biases (encoded by DAGs) impact machine learning fairness evaluations. 1 / 5
