My first paper appears in the @europeansocreview.bsky.social February issue (a nice birthday gift to myself), in great company with cool papers on boundary-making by @mireiatriguero.bsky.social and discrimination by Martin Aranguren. Check them out here: academic.oup.com/esr/issue

I'd love to see someone try to estimate just how much time and money has gone into research that is either fully undermined by reliance on LLMs or fully pointless --- because obvious if you start from an understanding of what LLMs actually are. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Screen cap from linked article, with heading Significance and then text:

Large Language Models (LLMs) are used in evaluative tasks across domains. Yet, what appears as alignment with human or expert judgments may conceal a deeper shift in how “judgment” itself is operationalized. Using news outlets as a controlled benchmark, we compare six LLMs to expert ratings and human evaluations under an identical, structured framework. While models often match expert outputs, our results suggest that they may rely on lexical associations and statistical priors rather than contextual reasoning or normative criteria. We term this divergence epistemia: the illusion of knowledge emerging when surface plausibility replaces verification. Our findings suggest not only performance asymmetries but also a shift in the heuristics underlying evaluative processes, raising fundamental questions about delegating judgment to LLMs.

Sentence starting with "While models often" is highlighted in blue.

Has anyone written about how the concept “AI hallucination” kinda misses the mark in explaining what these LLMs do? Like is it only hallucination when we can easily assess this is not true? I feel like this reinforces the idea that these models are “knowledgeable” and then *sometimes* hallucinate

Threatening for whom? National boundary-making, immigration, and support for the welfare state Existing literature has found that there is a negative effect of increased immigration on native support for redistributive policies. In this paper, I refocus the debate from ’immigrant #sociology link

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
