While social media is polarising, evidence suggests AI may nudge people towards the centre.
This holds true of all studied models. Grok is more right-leaning than other models, but also has depolarising effects.

Hachette Book Group has pulled the horror novel ‘Shy Girl’ after allegations that the author used AI to write it.

This thread and article are *so good*. Data can tell us part of the story (and it’s quite bad going back to the Industrial Revolution). Literature can tell us about the actual experience of going through structural change.

Many of us are trying to figure out where the AI labor market transition may be going. But that's fundamentally unknowable. So instead of trying to predict the future we can instead look back to try to figure out what may be coming...by reading 19th c english literature 1/

There's worry that people will stop using their brains with LLMs, but managing several AI agent threads in parallel has been some of the most cognitively intensive work I've done in years

Extremely important work:
Erik Brynjolfsson@erikbryn
The @nytimes piece today by @ByrneEdsal13590 highlights a concern I share: “If we stay on the current path, the risk of extreme concentration — both economic and political — is very real.” In work with @zhitzig, we ask why AI may shift the balance between dispersed knowledge and centralized control.

True for general knowledge. But unique high-level expertise is worth more now than ever.
shirish@shiri_shh
knowledge is almost worth zero in the AI era. what matters now is connecting the dots and executing fast.

Increasingly, I only trust posts summarizing AI papers that either (a) fit in the original Twitter character limit or (b) are written by the study's authors. The long narrative influencer posts written by Claude always have big errors, ask a frontier model to summarize it instead

We really could stop AI development right now and it would still transform a substantial portion of white collar work, often unrecognizably, over the next 5-10 years as people figure out how to make the technology work in various industries, even given current models' limitations

Radar graphs are among the worst ideas in data visualization. The whole point of them is to show the area and you can usually reorder the labels freely in order to create a desired dramatic effect.
Two versions of the same graph:
- left one tells the story that AI is rapidly replacing whole industries
- right one shows the "jaggedness" and reinforces the idea that humans will always have something that AI won't be able to replicate

The author, @Ada_Palmer, is a historian at the University of Chicago who write "hard social science fiction" -- a category that would be useful to expand.
She also had some very early thoughtful takes on AI, including this interesting piece from 2023: unlocked.microsoft.com/ai-anthology/a…

Started writing a blog post about Terra Ignota and AI governance but it didn't quite make sense yet... May or may not finish it but TL;DR you should try reading Terra Ignota
