As warned, Reddit has taken a bundle of money from "Open"AI and will use it to further monetize what you -- and the volunteers who moderate it all -- contributed for free.
It's the norm now, and particularly slimy in this case.

Re: recent SCOTUS decision on Trump's immunity, most folks are (prob correctly) focused on it as a delay strategy, assuming they will ultimately uphold the lower court's decision. 🤞 If they don't, seems like a clear signal that right-wing coalitions are committed to going all-in on authoritarianism.
@ct_bergstrom The harmonies are excellent. Kudos.

NOT looking for suggestions.
Bemoaning the fact that on the iPad
1. You can't search for "no in-app purchases, pay up front, no ads, do not collect personal data" apps
2. There is no way to find the good apps without wading through a morass of terrible apps
3. Developer payment options are primarily: gather user's data and sell it; charge rent; ads / protection racket
Almost no apps operate on a "pay me to own the thing as is" basis.
New draft of a modeling paper I really love, by me and Zack Dunivin. "Dynamics of covert signaling: Modeling the emergence and extinction of identity signals."
Methods! We got coupled differential equations, agent-based modeling, random forest classifiers.

I really enjoyed this conversation on the Converging Dialogues podcast talking about Modeling Social Behavior, models, theory, and the future of social science. https://convergingdialogues.substack.com/p/302-modeling-social-behavior-a-dialogue
@lakens this is one of the main ideas I associate with Popper — it’s all over his book Objective Knowledge IIRC
@abbynormative @sabrinaschalz @academicchatter I'm pretty overloaded right now, but if they're really in a pinch I could be persuaded. More appropriate though might be more solidly "animal behavior" folks like @Eliz_Hobson @damienfarine Albert Kao, Jeff Schank, Hanna Kokko, Kevin Ringelman
There's not enough "fuck you"s in the world to react to this shit. #LLMs should be tools used in the service of people; what in the world is this proposal to make people work for LLMs?!
Any and all changes to scientific publishing needs to be for so that other **people** can access them and understand them.
And the single most important change would be for Nature and other publishers not to charge 29.99 USD for a shitty 4-paragraph essay that they didn't pay for themselves.
