🗣️ Last Friday, we had the pleasure of hosting @dustinbwright.com for an insightful talk on “LLMs Lack Perspective and Epistemic Diversity.” The talk explored how diverse are the information and perspectives that people are being exposed to in this new era. #NLProc

We updated our LLM epistemic diversity study with a stronger search baseline closer to true search diversity. It beats every model, even though it is underestimated. In other words, one can expect less information from an LLM vs Google searching. See the new results here! arxiv.org/pdf/2510.04226

THE BELL JAR HARD ❌ It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York EASY ✅ That summer was sizzling, and so were the Rosenbergs
An advert for a company called Magibook. The headline reads "Turn HARD books into EASY books with Magibook! Maximize your reading potential and avoid difficult language today."

Underneath is two covers of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 

Above the first cover is the original version of the opening sentence (captioned "Turn Hard Books"), which reads "In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since."

Above the second cover (captioned "into Easy Books") is a simplified version, which reads "When I was young, my dad told me something that I still think about."
