We're now up to Reviewer #15
Reviewer #13 agreed? Either this is going to be one really complicated R&R or the journal is having a hard time finding reviewers.

"I thought we were pretty rubbish to be honest, but who cares?"

Important paper. So far most of the potential solutions I've seen mentioned (in-person surveys, high-quality/validated panels, address-based sampling) cost lots of money and will thus deepen divides based on resources. Something that we'll also need to grapple with.

Opt-in panels without verification (e.g. voter file matching) are a dead method walking.

new paper by Sean Westwood:
With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

my perspective on this (which is not particularly novel) is that we will need to move exclusively to: a) mail-based samples (or samples that can verify something concrete like voter file); b) in person samples (back to undergraduates); c) elite samples (oof)
of course, lots of unknowns here

But according to Chris Christie in the Times, the regulation of sports gambling is going great!
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

Most rarely/sometimes use AI & always follow class policies, but think others frequently use AI & only sometimes follow policies.

I enjoyed a cloudy last morning in Acadia National Park before it was time to drive home. I walked along Park Loop Road, listening to the ocean, looking at the rocks, absorbing the beauty.
Sometimes a short trip is perfect; this one made me happy.
