Levin Brinkmann @levinbrinkmann.bsky.social · 19/08/2026How do social incentives and structures shape AI behavior? How do machines co-evolve with us? Come to figure it out and explore similar questions not yet asked. CogSci, Econ, Physics, CS, Psyc. Everyone here comes from somewhere different, and everyone is kind about it. 020
Levin Brinkmann @levinbrinkmann.bsky.social · 18/08/2026We worry about homogenisation, but can AI also expand human culture? In a multi-generational experiment we demonstrate AI-induced cultural shifts. Machines lastingly shift human behavior, beyond their presence, just as AlphaGo did to Go. www.nature.com/articles/s41...nature.comPropagation and preservation of AI-discovered problem-solving strategies in human culture - Nature CommunicationsAI can uncover problem-solving strategies beyond human discovery. Here, the authors show that AI-discovered strategies propagate and persist in human populations, producing cultural shifts when non-tr... 12213

Work led by Hiromu Yakura & @levinbrinkmann.bsky.social www.scientificamerican.com/article/chat...scientificamerican.comChatGPT Is Changing the Words We Use in ConversationWords frequently used by ChatGPT, including “delve” and “meticulous,” are getting more common in spoken language, according to an analysis of more than 700,000 hours of videos and podcasts 0126
Levin Brinkmann @levinbrinkmann.bsky.social · 21/06/2025You sound like ChatGPT -- that is what The Verge said about our recent preprint on how ChatGPT is reshaping human spoken communication. Chatbots are becoming a cultural medium and agent of cultural homogenisation. Is this inevitable, or can model diversity help? www.theverge.com/openai/68674...theverge.comYou sound like ChatGPTAI isn’t just impacting how we write — it’s changing how we speak and interact with others. And there’s only more to come. 182
