Just tried SocialAI -- a diary app like Twitter, but with only AI bots as your followers. Very interesting design. You can choose the kind of bots you prefer (sarcastic, debaters, trolls, etc.) because who wouldn't want a sarcastic bot roasting your diary?
The dead internet theory is alive.

Introducing the SocialAI V2 model: Breaking the Echo Chamber.
- conversations between AI followers
- improved language processing
- dynamic content length
- contextual awareness in each thread
- support for parsing 50+ languages
SocialAI V2 model is now available on all devices with SocialAI installed.
Excited for the future of SocialAI. Give it a try on the app now by posting something privately, and let us know what you think.

Honored to be quoted alongside my advisor @jevinwest in the latest @Nature news article by @dcastelvecchi! It’s exciting to contribute to the conversation on @SakanaAILabs’s AI scientist and automating science in general. Check it out here: nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
A full commentary is coming soon.
Sharing one of the preliminary results related to popularity bias in cited references with AI generated papers disproportionately citing highly cited papers (~26000 citations per paper on average) in comparison to human written papers (~7500 citations) — an observation that was recently made by @jimmykoppel as well.

Replying to @iamharaldur
Been working for five years at @witnessorg on 'prepare, don't panic' around deepfakes, AI-generated media, authenticity and trust. Lots of plans and work you could throw your weight and expertise behind!

Consent, opt in or opt out, should never be part of any privacy law. It doesn’t work at scale, as @hartzog, @DanielSolove, et al have said. Happy to play a small part in this @JoeProf study. Thx @natashanyt; excellent write up. nytimes.com/2023/02/07/techn…
