1/4 Recently @BeaMagistro, @Jacob_Morrier , and I published an interesting study, "The Convergence of Zero-Sum Thinking and Illiberalism in the United States." It's open-access at SSQ! https://t.co/dC1GOMJIoy

[R. Michael Alvarez @rmichaelalvarez]

Read the latest in the @Activision & @Caltech research partnership, "Uncovering the Viral Nature of Toxicity in Competitive Online Video Games", just published online. Great work with @Jacob_Morrier and Amine Mahmassani.

@GNadeauDubois Il s’agit du même serment que celui prévu dans la Loi sur l’Assemblée nationale que vous avez déjà prononcé à plusieurs reprises…

[Jacob Morrier @Jacob_Morrier]

@RadioCanadaInfo Le serment dont Me Cliche-Rivard parle est celui qui est déjà prévu dans la Loi sur l’Assemblée nationale et qu’il a déjà prêté pour entrer à l’Assemblée. Il a bien sûr le droit de s’opposer au projet, mais ça n’est pas très sérieux comme critique.

Currently in FirstView: In “Measuring the Quality of Answers in Political Q&As with Large Language Models,” @rmichaelalvarez & @Jacob_Morrier develop an approach for measuring the quality of answers in Q&A sessions using data from the Canadian House of Commons Question Period.

How is AI shaping the nature of information?

Happy to put out my new working paper on the effects of AI on innovation.

I present a theory of how LLMs and generative AI's homogenizing effects can paradoxically introduce more creativity.

Really excited to see this paper published! Excellent work with @Jacob_Morrier using ML to measure and study incivility in the Canadian Parliament's Q&A sessions.

Important new research from our @Activision collaboration! Here we are able to show the causal effect of exposure to toxicity in competitive online games. @Jacob_Morrier led this project, great work.

@rmichaelalvarez @Caltech Thank you very much, Mike, for your mentorship and support!! I’m grateful for everything you’ve learned by your side!! I
can’t emphasize enough how amazing your advising is!

[R. Michael Alvarez @rmichaelalvarez]

Excited to share the latest paper from our research with @Activision. This paper, with @Jacob_Morrier and @RKocielnik, uses reinforcement learning to improve the efficiency of sampling for toxicity detection in competitive online video games.

So proud to announce that my first solo-authored paper is out in @PSRMJournal! 🥳 It makes a bold claim: higher barriers to entry in elections can actually improve voter welfare by better aligning policies with voter preferences. Open access here: https://t.co/0lnh2FG3ua

@RaqCenteno @CaltechLCSSP Congrats!
