I'm hiring a Senior Research Associate (PI eligible) at UChicago's Knowledge Lab to build community, programs, and catalyzing research at the intersection of knowledge (e.g., STS, innovation, [mis]information), AI, and society. Please apply and forward! apply.interfolio.com/135089

Let's be friends ;-). I'm hiring an Instructional Professor in Computational Social Science in the Master of Arts Program in Computational Social Science (MACSS) at the University of Chicago! apply.interfolio.com/135034

The new release has transformed GPT4 from the absolute best, most amazing tool for quickly crafting python scripts into an unbelievably bad and mercilessly frustrating tool for crafting python scripts. What an age we live in.

Finally, our book about 'Algorithmic Cultures' came out on the varied logics underlying AI in society and why need to understand, conserve, and cultivate algorithmic diversity. With Adrian Johns and many other rockstar historian and science studies friends...

Very excited to be heading this brand new institute! (Not pictured two core members from our statistics and data science department, Cosma Shalizi and Nynke Niezink)

Very excited to be presenting on collective intelligence and AI in science at this *very* cool The Philosophy of Contemporary and Future Science Cambridge HPS and Cambridge Philosophy event. You should register... this lineup 👀

🤔What's the role of co-location in scientific discovery? The usual measures underestimate it! 🚨New paper by Eamon Duede Eduede eduede.bsky.social (with James Evans @klakhani and me) Open access: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… (1/3)

Universities are important, not just because they generate knowledge, but how they do! Our new piece with James Evans Misha Teplitskiy @ ICSSI @klakhani out of Knowledge Lab and Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard shows that universities mix diverse perspectives & it is *these* mixtures that are most influential!

Know an undergraduate who likes philosophy and also likes math? If so, we've got a summer school for them. The CMU Summer School for Logic and Formal Epistemology is accepting applications for Summer 2024. cmu.edu/dietrich/philo…

How do meanings differ across the world’s languages? Thrilled to have our work out in PNAS exploring this question. It’s a case study in how computational science methods can bring fresh insights into age-old social science questions.

People discourage rhetorical citations (cite to support the author's claim), and believe if all citations came from those that truly inspired authors (substantive), the community would be better. Is that true? In a new Nature Communications paper with Misha Teplitskiy | Science of Science, we test it (1/n):

How does language shape our ideas, conversations, and collaborations? New work with the amazing Pedro ('Pete') Aceves Johns Hopkins Carey Business School discovers how human languages vary widely in how densely they encode meaning and its striking consequences for communication and collaboration!

Two professional updates: I'm excited to join Carnegie Mellon University as an asst prof later in 24. I'm also honored to be selected as a Schmidt Futures AI2050 Early Career Fellow, alongside an exceptional cohort; commencing my fellowship after starting at CMU! schmidtsciences.org/ai2050-early-c…

Excited to be starting at WashU in Fall 2024! Grateful to everyone who has written letters and offered advice and mentorship during my five years on the market, e.g. Liam Bright, Tania Lombrozo, Experimental Philosophy Jonathan Birch and others not on twitter. philosophy.wustl.edu/news/david-kin…

... write-up of sciencedirect.com/science/articl… specifically, with the fun finding that co-location (e.g., at the office or university) is associated with highly influential exchanges with intellectually diverse thinking

Please consider submitting a 750 word abstract for our inaugural workshop on the ethical, social, and policy issues of high performance computing to be held this year at SC25 2024 in Atlanta this year! philevents.org/event/show/124… Deadline is AOE July 29th! 1/2

Excited about this paper I did with Eduede eduede.bsky.social + 2 McGill students, accepted at #acl2024 main conf, where we offer a counter-intuitive defense of AI hallucinations based on narrative theory. This is a CS paper but has implications for literary theory. >>> arxiv.org/abs/2406.04175

An exciting opportunity Argonne National Lab: the Margaret Butler postdoctoral Fellowship in Computational Science. You will work with brilliant colleagues on an exascale computer. Applications are due August 1, 2024. See alcf.anl.gov/margaret-butle…

I'm seeking a postdoc to work with me at Purdue & Argonne National Lab! AI & science, philosophy of AI, automation in math/science, or philosophy of math. Philosophy appt. but not particular about disciplinary background! pls RT widely. DM me w/ questions! higheredjobs.com/faculty/detail…

Just a reminder that there's still some time to apply for this postdoc opportunity! Purdue has quickly become one of the best places to do work on philosophical and empirical questions related to AI in science!
