I had been holding off on posting my thoughts until the interview was released. Director Iñárritu’s “DIGGER” is a film that all of us living in today’s world should see. It is a work that remains with the audience, provoking reflection and sounding alarms. As you absorb this film and carry it with you, a “tool (a digger)” for delving deeper into the future will surely begin to take shape within you. This is a film that will stay by your side for years to come.

Great work from our colleague @_ToFeWe! Delighted to see this research on #LLM pollution in online behavioural experiments published in Nature Communications. A timely contribution to understanding #AI's impact on research.

オンラインの行動実験で人間の行動を計測していると思っていたら、実はそのほとんどがAIエージェントだったという、半分面白く、半分は科学研究の妥当性という点で結構やばい話についてのプレプリントを取り上げてもらいました

I found out that something doesn't work very well. In the interest of not burying it so that someone else goes down this rabbit hole again, maybe I will try to write a paper.

Our department hosted a great seminar this week by my colleague @_ToFeWe titled "Experimental Evidence That Conversational AI Can Steer Consumer Behavior Without Detection". Eye-opening insights into conversational AI and consumer choices! #AIResearch #BehavioralEconomics

Trying to figure out how future technologies will reshape behaviour and society is tough, but indispensable. In a new @Nature paper w/ @iyadrahwan & JF Bonnefon, we describe an experimental approach we call "the science fiction science method” (sci-fi-sci) nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

【最近あったオンライン実験の怖い話①】
実験の最後に「戸惑った点があれば書いてください」という設問を用意したところ、「人間と同じように戸惑ったりしたところはないです（I don’t experience confusion in the same way humans do）」と如何にもLLMかのような回答をした参加者(?)がいた

Does anyone know a paper that specifically looks at the share of online samples (Prolific, MTurk, etc.) relative to lab studies/field studies in recent years? I feel like I saw some stats on that sometime ago on X, but I can’t find it.

Great coverage by The Verge of our work on how ChatGPT is changing the way we speak. The implications are very broad, with AI being potentailly able to conduct mass manipulation of culture and public opinion.
