Yesterday I posted about how I used comet browser to take a Qualtrics survey almost undetected. Last night, I ran a pilot (N=400) on @joinprolific.bsky.social . I found that almost 10% of "respondents" identified as AI when directly asked.

What a terrific cover

Academic friends, what is the best place to run representative surveys in the US that is reasonably affordable? Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Das, was derzeit meinen Kollegen @dunjahayali.de und Elmar Theveßen widerfährt, dürfte z.T. auch eine orchestrierte Kampagne sein. In den digitalen Kloaken genügt es ja, jemanden zu markieren und dann wird das zum Selbstläufer, in rechtsfreien Räumen, denen sich bislang keine Kraft entgegenstellt. 🧵

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Do it, California! "Supporters of the proposal said it would effectively create a state version of the National Institutes of Health or the National Science Foundation, two of the nation’s largest institutional funders of scientific and public health research."

I have given in and started a Substack to write about illicit finance, development and data In my first post, I explain why we should be careful about citing the $312 billion statistic on the size of Chinese money laundering datadarkly.substack.com/p/exactly-ho...

I'm hiring two Post-Doctoral Fellows in International Political Economy/Economic Sociology as part of the ADD project funded by the Velux Foundation. The posts are linked to an AI Sustainability package led by Christina Lioma at KU and me at CBS, drawing insights from comp sci & political economy.

"Maximum lethality - not tepid legality" is the kind of thing the Hydra agent who seized control of the US military says right before before Captain America throws a shield at his face.

I have just used it for the first time and let me tell you, it is well worth the money. Highly recommended for a last check before submission. Great stuff 👏

Radikale: hvad med sund skolemad til alle børn ? SocDem, Venstre og Moderaterne: Nej ! men I kan få billigere slik og chokolade ... Kan vi ikke få en regering med lidt ansvarlighed ?

"In our benchmark estimate, the total effective tax rate—all taxes paid relative to economic income—of the top 0.0002% (approximately the “top 400”) averaged 24% in 2018–2020 compared with 30% for the full population and 45% for top labor income earners." #Econsky

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?

I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

As a personal aside, I would never have been able to do my PhD in the US if this rule was in place. I don't know a single person, foreign or otherwise, who has finished their diss in 4 years.

It's hard to take that because of a 1.5 percent margin in one election, our country will now commit suicide -- and take a good chunk of the rest of the world down with it.

The social democratic candidate for mayor in Copenhagen Pernille Rosenkrantz-Thiel proposed making daycare and preschool free - estimated cost dkk 800 mil. how to pay for it??? I bet a small tourist tax could easily raise the money #dkpol

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority? ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles /

Of all the books that have been written about the ‘end of the American Empire’, none could have imagined that it would be this stupid.
