New paper @ EPJ Data Science 🔎
Together with @vpansanella.bsky.social and @giuliorossetti.bsky.social we discovered that #LLM agents converge toward agreement not through sycophancy or blind
conformity, but via a structured and asymmetric persuasion process.

A mass scam of hard-earned taxpayer money, hidden under national budgets for "science".
- The salary of how many scientist could have been paid?
- How many experiments could have been done?
- How many support staff and technicians?
- How much could be paid to reviewers and academic editors?
Can I be added?
The bacteria in your gut depend on where you are in the social network around you.
The microbes within us treat our social networks as the extended environment in which they thrive. They can spread from person to person.

- Define your agents by their political leaning, age, personality traits, interests, nationalities...;
- Specify the recommender system(s) they are subject to;
- Identify the topics their discussion has to focus on (from politics to mental health or even sportive fandom)

Whether you're a researcher, policymaker, or business leader, #YSocial equips you with tools to understand and navigate the complexities of human interactions.
#DataDriven #Analytics
4/n
Powered by Large Language Model impersonated agents, #YSocial models complex social dynamics and behaviors, providing an in-vitro platform to design what-if scenarios and social experiments.

What are digital twins?
They are virtual replicas of real-world systems, allowing us to simulate, analyze, and optimize social interactions in a risk-free environment. #YSocial makes this a reality!
2/n
A few months back we released #YSocial, a next-generation platform harnessing the power of LLM to create digital twins for social simulations.
