Our study on the TikTok algorithm and eating disorders is finally published (big thx 2 @emilya_harris). We scraped the metadata for ~1 million TikTok videos delivered to users w/ eating disorders versus users w/out eating disorders (i.e. healthy controls) sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We also looked at the videos users "liked" - this is important because it tells us what videos users were engaging with. Are users with eating disorders "liking" their way to an algorithm that sends them these videos? Yes, but the devil is in the details.
ALT Line plots showing the interaction of the category of video content (e.g., appearance-oriented versus not appearance-oriented) with participants’ self-reported eating disorder symptoms on the likelihood of them liking the content. The hashes on the X-axis represent eating disorder symptom scores that are -1 standard deviation, 0 standard deviations and +1 standard deviations from the mean, respectively (i.e., eating disorder symptoms intensify as one moves from left to right). The shaded areas surrounding each line represent 95% confidence intervals.

Excited to share our new brief report, now available open access in Body Image! We used random intercept cross-lagged panel models to examine the relationships of muscularity and body fat dissatisfaction with psychological QoL among ~3000 sexual minority men.🧵@Scott1Griffiths

This issue I pointed out 2 months ago is now real with the wide release of Code Interpreter
It can autonomously generate a technically correct (though pretty boring) academic paper from scratch with just a few commands. There will be a flood of these coming to every journal soon
Academia is in for a wild ride
>Upload census data & data dictionary into GPT with Code Interpreter
>"I would like you to generate some interesting draft hypotheses about industries & MSAs and then to test them with the data. make assumptions if you need to"
>"Put it in a paper"
