Why am I pro-abundance? Let me tell you a story about a small park across the street from my place. It's got a slide, swings, monkey bars. But it's been stuck in renovation limbo for over 2 years. (1/5)

More partisan atttitudinal asymmetries -- since the presidential election, Democrats' national pride/trust in government has collapsed, while Republicans' values have only edged upwards. Data from Polarization Research Lab.

Negative partisanship is a helluva drug: Up until a few months ago, liberal and conservative Americans held pretty much the same views on free trade. Now, not so much…

I don't think it is just negative partisanship. This isn't an irrational flip by Liberals in response to Conservatives--Liberals are witnessing a stock market crash and an economic retraction. It could very well be reasoned.

Since Trump was elected, US support for international cooperation of all kinds has climbed sharply, from free trade to overseas assistance. Perhaps Trump’s real MAGA legacy will be Making Americans Globalists Again

In our latest paper: Democrats and Republicans agree that nearly all LLMs are significantly biased toward Democratic views. Google models are the least biased, but Elon Musk's xAI is perceived as nearly as liberal as OpenAI (the most slanted company)...

A new study by Hoover fellows Justin Grimmer, @SeanJWestwood, and @AHall_Research (Stanford Graduate School of Business) finds that nearly all leading LLMs are viewed as left-leaning—even by Democratic respondents—and that a simple tweak to system instructions reduces this tilt. hoover.org/research/measu…

Bluesky is dangerous to the political left. Echo chambers generate bad information, they boost radical voices, and they disconnect from majority/centrist views. The Bluesky echo chamber is particularly worrying because so many journalists and academics have flocked there…

this website modelslant.com tracks political biases for most popular LLMs and almost all the top models have a slight left bias.

nearly all LLM AI models are perceived as significantly left-leaning, even by many Democrats, across many value-laden political topics. when models are prompted to take a neutral stance, they offer more ambivalence & are perceived as more neutral modelslant.com/paper.pdf
