Had fun experimenting with OpenAI's new text-to-speech model. It is surprisingly easy to jailbreak with a few words to make it say offensive things... But maybe this is a ploy to collect jailbreaks 👀 openai.fm

Mixed feelings about silicon subjects (LLM predictions of human behavior) as replacements for human subjects? Consider the mixed subjects design. 🚨Now published at Sociological Methods and Research🚨 doi.org/10.1177/004912…

Excited to share a work with Thomas Davidson on using LLMs for text classification! We experiment with different learning regimes from zero-shot to instruction-tuning, and propose instruction-tuning as a new possibility for social scientific inquiries. doi.org/10.1177/004912…

An important study demonstrating how AI generative content is affecting our data, whether we like it or not! I have also come across this issue in my recent open-ended data collection.

How we "guessed" the Pope using network science: inside the cardinal network. A study by me, Beppe Soda and Alessandro Iorio. Article: unibocconi.it/en/news/networ… Università Bocconi

🚨A warning to anyone using OpenAI API credits for research 🚨 We were hit with $1K+ excess charges despite their documentation clearly stating API calls would stop when credits ran out. Their support refused to help and threatened to cancel our account. 1/7

🧵 NEW PAPER - "Quantifying Narrative Similarity Across Languages" is live at SMR. We combine NLP w pairwise LLM evals to track ideas across media ecosystems and languages. We also figured out a way to eval unsupervised probs on widely understood supervised performance metrics.

We’re hiring at Princeton on AI and society, working with Arvind Narayanan or me depending on fit. I think it’s all a huge deal but am very unexcited by current AGI and/or AI safety discourse. I may also be hiring postdocs separately — depends on candidates. Email if interested.
