**What is the relation between human cooperation and natural tipping dynamics?** This question has occupied me for a while, so I'm delighted to share our new paper. In it, we show the environment is not a passive backdrop for human cooperation, but an […] [Original post on datasci.social]

I enjoy idealized models. But how can they connect to empirical data? In our new preprint, we explore Bayesian probabilistic programming to connect learning dynamics in games to the Great Acceleration in CO2 emissions. egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/… egusphere-2026-2263/

How to cooperate for a sustainable future? We don't know (yet), but I'm thrilled to share that our new perspective piece has just been published in @PNASNews. Bridging complexity science and multiagent reinforcement learning can lead to a much-needed science of collective, cooperative intelligence.

Many concrete examples and case studies make it tangible resource for policy and further research. It was my pleasure and honour to contribute to section 3.4 looking at how agents adapting in response to one another creating dangerous feedback loops and unpredictability.
