Thirty years ago, I published my PhD dissertation on Letter Spirit --- all about creativity, AI, and cognitive science. My advisor was Doug Hofstadter. Last week I was asked to give a keynote talk about that work in France. The talk was captured in video.

#introduction Hi, I'm Goji! I'm brand new to the #fediverse !
I'm currently pursuing a B.S. in #cogsci
Lately I've been spending my free time less on writing (I do short stories, and I'd like to self-publish a full novel) and more on reading.
I play some video games, but being a linux-boi has pared that back quite a bit.
My other hobbies are mountain biking, music, and succumbing to depression under a blanket.

You can expect me to talk about: #PoliticalReform, #AI, #foss, #books, university, #veganism, my perfect cats, and other interesting things I am learning about.

I will try to balance my emo, millennial nature with wit and well-written posts about things that matter. If I sound like a whiny bitch, stick around for a bit and see if it changes?

and he is at the forefront of research examining #LLMs in agent-based settings and agent-based modelling

e.g., s.bingheai.cn:8443/abs/2409.02

and

arxiv.org/abs/2409.02822

so this will be a totally different aspect to LLMs than what we’ve seen in the seminar series so far! @cogsci @philosophy #cogsci #ABMs

arXiv.orgLarge Language Model agents can coordinate beyond human scaleLarge Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as interacting agents, forming ``LLM societies''. Understanding whether these societies can self-organize and coordinate on norms without external influence is crucial to understand their risks and opportunities. Here we explore their opinion dynamics finding that it is governed by a majority force coefficient such that LLM societies can spontaneously reach consensus only up to a critical group size. This critical size grows exponentially with the language understanding capabilities of the models, exceeding the typical size of informal human groups for advanced LLMs. These results reveal emerging self-organization properties in LLM societies and provide insights for designing collaborative AI systems where coordination is either a goal or a risk.

Noticed via a couple of podcasts that some people are using "did not replicate" to mean "didn't turn out to be as useful as claimed"

Yes, *some* psych phenomena turned out to have effect sizes at or close to zero (ego depletion)

But others are vary reliably non-zero (e.g. race IAT scores), we just don't know what - if anything - that means. The phenomenon does *replicate*.

Preprint announcement:

A. Vernazzani and I have just made available a paper of ours, soon to be published in a volume:

philpapers.org/rec/VERFOD-2

It is a sort of companion piece to a paper of ours on representational formats published in PhilSci last year. While that paper proposed a novel computational theory of formats, this one takes a more negative tack, investigating how reliance on everyday intuitions misleads research on formats in cognitive science.
