New publication alert🔓🚨
Toxic speech is widespread on social media – but do users mirror the toxic behavior of their ingroup or react defensively to outgroup toxicity?
Our new paper in JCMC examines how ingroup and outgroup behavior shape the spread of toxicity on social media.

@yoavr מסכים מאוד!!! אגב, זאת גם סיבה להתנגדות שלי לטקס זיכרון משותף ישראל-פלסטיני (ביום הזיכרון). יש לנו זהות ומורשת ישראלית שנפרדת מהזהות הפרטיקולרי של כל אחד מהאויבים שלנו

agents hold a huge promise. building strong, good, interactive and multipurpose ones turns out to be very hard (happy to discuss the challenges). in this project, we attempt to do that, and push forward both useful functionality *and* the science of agent building.

@LiranHarsgor Congrats!

How harmful is GenAI around elections? Will it trigger a misinformation apocalypse and upend elections?

@AvichayBuaron @MatanKahana לא הב��תי.. ״עברנו את הגיל של רבולוציות״ - מה עם הרפורמה המשפטית? איך זה שיש אינסוף סבלנות מול אוכלוסיה שלא משתתפת בנטל, שהרבה ממנהיגיו הם במפורש אנטי ציוניים, אך מול אוכלוסיה ״סמולנית״ - חצי מהמדינה, שמפחדת מצעדי השלטון, אין ניסיון למצוא את האמצע, לקרב לבבות, לגלות אמפתיה.

@berale_crombie אתה הולך לקיצוניים... מה עם ממשלה עם בנט? ליברמן? גנץ? הבעיה כרגע זה שהליכוד מעדיף את מפלגות החרדיות על פני אופציות ציוניות עם קירבה אידיאולוגית.
