I don’t think presidents have much effect on crime. But it’s fascinating that Trump is the first president in 30 years to oversee a rise in crime. And crime has dropped significantly since he left office. Yet Republicans still attack Biden and Democrats on crime. And it works!

A paper that really illustrates both the unexpected power, and unexpected risks, that come from LLMs.Given text of anonymous posts on Reddit, GPT-4 can infer things like income, gender & location with 85%+ accuracy at 1% of the cost required by humans. https://t.co/qcrodZsgUQ pic.twitter.com/at8NfwLxjr— Ethan Mollick (@emollick) October 20, 2023

This is a pretty large effect!TL;DR: People whose work is graded later tend to be graded more harshly.If your grading order is alphabetical, that'll unduly penalize people with alphabetically-later surnames. https://t.co/Af7prAV7rx— Crémieux (@cremieuxrecueil) October 16, 2023

This tweet shares a thread about a study which found that both physical attractiveness and nonverbal expressiveness (charisma) predict how much people like each other when first meeting and after several weeks of acquaintance. However, charisma becomes a more important factor over time as people get to know each other better.

This line is thought is terrifying. education becoming debt-exploding prep for a job that likely won’t use your degree anyway is one of the worst things to ever happen.

If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local.The chart shows why: transport tends to account for only a small share of greenhouse gas emissions — the differences between different food choices are much larger. pic.twitter.com/9C1pnPlOwP— Max Roser (@MaxCRoser) December 7, 2022

“People on Twitter squawk about contrarian truths that get “censored” but what’s really suppressed are the things that people find way too horrifying to consider, so we get an uncoordinated yet collective denial of things we should be facing up to.”
