Is the fashion industry actually becoming more inclusive? We analyzed 793,199 records over 25 years to find out. Our results are published today in PNAS. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

ArXiV has a new LLM policy (Screenshots with alt text so you don’t have to click through to the other place and see all the stupid responses)

Attention @arxiv authors: Our Code of Conduct states that by signing your name as an author of a paper, each author takes full responsibility for all its contents, irrespective of how the contents were generated. 1/

If generative AI tools generate inappropriate language, plagiarized content, biased content, errors, mistakes, incorrect references, or misleading content, and that output is included in scientific works, it is the responsibility of the author(s). 2/

We have recently clarified our penalties for this. If a submission contains incontrovertible evidence that the authors did not check the results of LLM generation, this means we can't trust anything in the paper. 3/

The penalty is a 1-year ban from arXiv followed by the requirement that subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue. 4/

Examples of incontrovertible evidence: hallucinated references, meta-comments from the LLM ("here is a 200 word summary; would you like me to make any changes?"; "the data in this table is illustrative, fill it in with the real numbers from your experiments") end/

🧑‍💻 New paper at #chi2026 w @lorenzspreen.eurosky.social and @stefanherzog.bsky.social Are you worried about how social media algorithms affect people’s beliefs? We are, so we tested engagement-based ranking algorithms against alternatives in a pre-reg’d collaborative filtering experiment... 🧵

⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.

Check out @isabelcorpus.bsky.social's fantastic thread on our paper studying the effects of a "write with AI" button on change.org! ✍️ Spoiler: the effects of AI aren't always positive.

While human behavior and the data describing it evolve over time, fairness is often evaluated at a single snapshot. Yet, as we show in our newly published paper, fairness is dynamic. We studied how fairness evolves in dropout prediction across enrollment and found that it shifts over time.

An extensive audit of large language models reveals that numerous models mirror the ‘us versus them’ thinking seen in human behavior. These social prejudices are likely captured from the biased conten...
