The Emergence of Specialized Roles Within Groups

Goldstone, Rob, E. Andrade-Lotero, R. Hawkins, and M/ Roberts

How do groups of people self-organize without top-down coordination so that we can apply that same insight to Agentic AI. This paper describes CARMI. In our view, an emergent computation approach to agents control is going to be necessary.

Large AI models are cultural and social technologies

Farrell, Henry, Alison Gopnik, Cosma Shalizi, and James Evans

A response to Melanie Mitchell’s work, this is a sociology and philosophy paper on LLMs as a social technology. Lots of emphasis on representation. Echoes of extended mind theory. Implications regarding “beigification.”

Hi Mastodon,

My wonderful master's student is presenting his first conference poster soon. What tips do you like to give to first timers?

We discussed having a 3-min pitch prepared, as people often just ask "So, talk me through your poster", and how to tailor the pitch to the asker. We also talked about practising the pitch before finalising the design, because it can help highlight which display items you rely on. Any more you'd suggest?

This paper about the impact of #longCovid on language & cognitive function is frankly devastating.

A couple examples of how affected individuals fared when confronted with photos of objects & asked to name them. Lots of struggling & pauses. #MedTwitter
