Can LLM-based 'silicon samples' accurately reflect human decisionmaking in conjoint tasks? The short answer is "not really" -- but there's more to the story.
I'll be presenting my paper on synthetic sampling in conjoint experiments tomorrow at 10! #APSA2025

It looks like I’ve gained some followers on here, so a quick reintroduction: I’m a political science Ph.D. candidate at UC Davis. I study how Americans perceive and respond to extremist state policies, as well as AI integration in survey methods.

Quick litmus test to check if you drink too much caffeine: mention to coworkers that you’ve heard of a new drink called a “Black Widow” (4 shots of espresso in a cup of black coffee). If they all yell “NO!” at the same time, you may have a problem.

Polisky - anyone have ideas for organizations/grants that might fund a democracy/backsliding happy hour at APSA? We have proof of concept from MPSA that there is interest in this, and I’d love to be able to actually buy people’s drinks next time.

I’ve really resonated with the Mary Oliver poem “The Journey” throughout grad school. When I advanced to candidacy last week my amazing friend @dantecade.bsky.social had the opening line engraved on a letter opener.
“One day you finally knew what you had to do and began.”

A lot of the current POTUS race narrative is likely being driven by low propensity voters.
If you shift from "hasn't voted in last 3 elections" to "has voted in all 3 of last elections" it goes from
Trump 44 Biden 26
to
Trump 39 Biden 50
