New paper in Nature. The more a government controls its domestic media, the more it dominates AI training data, the more pro-regime outputs we get from AI. By scraping the open web, LLMs are unwittingly laundering state-coordinated narratives into seemingly objective answers.

🚨We analyzed 138 million geocoded property tax records to quantify how municipal boundaries spatially overlap onto economic segregation in every US metro area—creating disparities in localities’ ability to fund public goods. And we made an interactive map of our results! [1/16]

Extremely happy to share that "Curation Bubbles" is online (open access!) at @apsrjournal.bsky.social: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
Title: Curation Bubbles
Abstract: Information on social media is characterized by networked curation processes in which users select other users from whom to receive information, and those users in turn share information that promotes their identities and interests. We argue this allows for partisan “curation bubbles” of users who share and consume content with consistent appeal drawn from a variety of sources. Yet, research concerning the extent of filter bubbles, echo chambers, or other forms of politically segregated information consumption typically conceptualizes information’s partisan valence at the source level as opposed to the story level. This can lead domain-level measures of audience partisanship to mischaracterize the partisan appeal of sources’ constituent stories—especially for sources estimated to be more moderate. Accounting for networked curation aligns theory and measurement of political information consumption on social media.Figure 1: Stylized Examples

b) Users curating information for other usersFigure 4: URL Scores by Share Volume for Selected Domains on Twitter and FacebookFigure 8: Proportion of URLs Substantively Distinct from Domain for Different Facebook Engagement Types

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

Dartmouth is reinstating the SAT. They analyzed their data and found 2 key things: 1) Test scores were a better predictor of success than high school grades/essays/recommendations 2) The test-optional policy was harming low-income kids who would have been accepted www.nytimes.com/2024/02/05/b...
