In other news, ChatGPT is promoting the work of an outspoken sexist and racist as being "the most important paper" in AI literature.
ChatGPT says it's been cited over 25,000 times.
It's been cited less than 3500 times.

Stay tuned for a full tweet thread, hopefully tomorrow!
But for now, a part of Fig. 1 showing that evolution is able to move populations to regions of the genotype-phenotype map that mirrors fluctuating environments!
And it does it without a detectable decrease in robustness.

I'm teaching a new class called Measles, Memes, and Misinformation for @UMICHCS and @UMichEEB with no pre-reqs! You'll learn some key concepts in disease dynamics, networks, and bullshit (@callin_bull).
Syllabus to come. Respond with your favorite example!!
Plz RT!

Hey alife folks, I have some undergraduate students interested in doing alife research with folks outside of my college during December (we have funding they can apply for for that time). Let me know if you are possibly interested!

We have a fun new paper officially out today, led by @amlalejini, @emilyldolson, and @AnyaEVostinar!
If you know me, or seen me talk, you know I started off doing this evolution thing as a computer scientist... 1/n

It has been an absolute blast to work on this with @FergusonAJ17, @NkrumahGrant, and @CharlesOfria! I'll give some (rambling) details below👇
How does adaptive phenotypic plasticity affect evolutionary outcomes in cyclically changing environments? Check out our preprint where we used digital evolution experiments to examine this question. Work was lead by new doctoral grad, @amlalejini, & @FergusonAJ17. @CharlesOfria
➡️ Finally, @LuisZaman's keynote at @2020ALIFE seeded ideas for our initial exploratory experiments: youtu.be/kWxwLVMS180
