Excited to be on sabbatical visiting @Yale for the 24-25 academic year! First day in my @yaledatascience office high in Kline tower, overlooking East Rock. Still getting settled, but if you're here and want to chat, hit me up!

🚨Maine Primary Forecast 🚨
Polls show the crowded Maine primaries are in a dead heat heading into June 9. But Maine uses ranked-choice voting, and these polls focus only on first choices.
Today, my collaborators and I released ranked-choice forecasts 👇

By far the best commentary on this drama. Thank you!
Also, the SuperNotes paper is extremely interesting. There are so many awful ideas in the LLMs-for-combatting-misinformation space but this seems really well thought out. arxiv.org/abs/2411.06116 By @actuallysoham, @jaybaxter, @bakkermichiel @msaveski.
I hope CN team is working on actually piloting it on X rather than leaving it as a research paper!

When @_ziv_e started as a postdoc at Stanford, I unloaded some of my thoughts on him, and he became super energized by how it aligned with challenges he'd been thinking about in the modern AI art space. See his 2023 collaborative perspective in Science: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… 3/

MeToo. Israel-Palestine. Even cat ladies. Stories cueing social identities frequently fill headlines.
In a new @AJPSeditor with @ylelkes & S. Wolken “The rise of and demand for identity-oriented media coverage” we offer a partial explanation why.
