The tech industry has moved on from agile. It was a clear step in the right direction, but we shook it down for what it was worth and left the rest behind.

This paper suggests a potential massive revolution in social science.It develops a system where LLMs automatically generate scientific hypotheses, and then test those hypotheses with simulated AI human agents. Even at this early stage, it works surprisingly well. Exciting atuff pic.twitter.com/ekZHYTJHcY— Ethan Mollick (@emollick) April 20, 2024
