Introducing Project Sid: the first simulations of 1000+ truly autonomous agents collaborating in a virtual world, w/ emergent economy, culture, religion, and government
Humans are the only species to land the moon, because we can cooperate at a vast scale
Can AI do the same?

Back in 2022, the Scholars on Twitter dataset was launched. In this new blog post, @philippemongeon, @timothydbowman, @RodrigoCostas1 and @Wences91 update us on how they dealt with various challenges coming from the data providers in the meantime leidenmadtrics.nl/articles/a…

Another #impact on #HigherEd in the USA. While it aims to be more inclusive, #metrics like this still contribute to the #MatthewEffect and maintain division

You can give ChatGPT a picture of your team’s whiteboarding session and have it write the code for you.
This is absolutely insane.

The Retraction Watch Database becomes completely open – and RW becomes far more sustainable.

I wanted to use Foucault to consider the academic reward system, academic publishing, and metrics -- the triad that's broken academia, IMO.... Next step will be to examine policies/communications over time considering power/knowledge using FDA. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
"Will academics ever actually give up Twitter? It’s too soon to tell. This moment does feel different, though. And the proof may be in the scale of the retreat."

The famed Stanford Smallville is officially open-source!
25 AI agents inhabit a digital Westworld, unaware that they are living in a simulation. They go to work, gossip, organize socials, make new friends, and even fall in love. Each has unique personality and backstory.
Smallville is among the most inspiring AI agent experiments in 2023. We often talk about a single LLM's emergent abilities, but multi-agent emergence could be way more complex and fascinating at scale. A population of AI can play out the evolution of an entire civilization.
Endless new possibilities ahead. Gaming will be the first to feel the impact.

#Academia is broken. Those of us in the game know this. It’s often hard to explain why. I like #AndyStapleton’s YT channel and his following video is a nice explanation of what’s happening now regarding #academicpublishing #profit and #science youtu.be/5xgbRxA_7DI
