I study decentralized networks of humans and machines
New paper out: "More is different" & the LLMs. LLMs are usually studied in isolation. But what happens when they start interacting? We explored this by looking at their collective behaviour. With Ariel Flint Ashery and @lajello 1/

Unpopular opinion: leaving Twitter to take refuge in your fav echo-platform (which btw is boring as hell) is not a solution to counter misinfo. Stay here and stand your ground. Especially if you are an academic.
One of the most important Nature News stories I have read in my entire career. Outstanding journalism. nature.com/articles/d4158…
The man below is neuroscientist Khamis Elessi, from Gaza. Left: receiving an award at the UniEdinburgh. Right: during one of the over 10 displacements he suffered during the war. He is one of a bunch of scientists that are trying to keep research alive amid destruction in Gaza🧵
So looking forward to @LanetConference !
