You can also ask Claude, “What else do you need to know?” Which was useful when developing initial models.

1000 Monte Carlo simulations, which they can do too. However, their generic model doesn’t have the option to include as many variables in their models.
You have to ask it to audit its own work multiple times, and be alert to numbers that don’t make sense, but it nonetheless yielded results that my financial planner and estate attorney seemingly missed. I think this will lead to productive conversations and meaningful changes going forward. 2/2
I have a complicated situation re: financial planning. AI may suck in many ways, but working with it to come up with a financial plan was one of the most educational experiences I’ve had in years. 1/2
Goes hand in hand with anything invented after you are 35 (or so) means everything is going to hell in a hand basket. It’s so predictable and replicable across decades it’s embarrassing.
Thanks for everything you do!!!
Incredible chutzpah. Like robbing a bank and then coming back to apply for a loan.
Me; been waiting for the opportunity to use them.
Cringe— sorry about “associated associations.”
Nice application of what we know about strong attitudes to how people feel about their romantic partners, with associated associations with well-being, etc by Adisa and @andyluttrell.bsky.social
I'm not entirely sure why, but this post made me LOL.
I love this description of Joyce Carol Oates almost as much as I love her word smithing, e.g.,, “Trump’s most essential self is riding a golf cart, fatly…” LOL
Pretty stable opinion on the Iran strikes. No rally around the flag bump for POTUS, and much less popular than previous wars when they started www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-trum...
For those looking for additional data points about what's happening with immigration enforcement in Minnesota and other states, our habeas case tracker has just been updated. TLDR new cases have dropped: projects.propublica.org/habeas-track...
And/or suggest retraction of original paper for its flaws.
That seems deeply wrong. Appeal?
Wow that is bleak

I'm hiring a postdoc at @cmu.edu (w/ far.ai & @dgrand.bsky.social + @gordpennycook.bsky.social)!
How do LLMs shape human beliefs — and what do we do about it? AI safety meets behavioral science.
Open to technical and social science backgrounds.
Attending @spspnews.bsky.social ews.bsky.social in our home city of Chicago this coming week? Be sure to check out the cool work being done by members of our lab, including postdoc @ncaluori.bsky.social, grad students @marykatz.bsky.social & Zarnab Zahoor, and undergrad Yahel Tirosh!
It hasn’t stopped—>
"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending."

Oh, my goodness, this is a huge breakthrough in cancer research. This is another example of why it is crucially important to fund basic scientific research.

Bots have made their way to Prolific experiments. Our lab has stopped online testing of adults entirely now for this reason - we want to know if what we study is real. Probably data collected 2-3 years ago are ok, but moving forward we just can't know. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
It’s insane—the $$ being flushed down the toilet of corruption, irrationality, and irrelevance ids unbelievable.
Horrific. It’s not stopping; it’s becoming even more corrupt and insidious...
