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.
OMG is ChatGPT doing paid product placement?

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!

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
