Impressive work by @OSoMe_IU, @LucaLuceri, and colleagues!
Datasets such as this are much needed and open up multiple possibilities of research! 👏👏

Great to see this work about information operation finally out! I think the coolest part is the control data added by the team, which makes all sorts of analyses and applications possible.

Our Prisoner's Dilemma work got accepted to @icwsm!
Looking forward to next year's edition in Copenhagen.

Testing LLMs in Game Theory experiments reveals their moral biases as social agents -- useful to inform alignment. Llama2 playing Prisoner's Dilemma is more forgiving and non-retaliatory than humans, but only when the opponent defects rarely. New preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2406.13605

Our new working paper shows how a single choice by many social media platforms—to treat all resharing as if from the original poster—can drastically reshape our understanding of the social dynamics on those platforms.

It was nice chatting with @kakape for this great piece on misinfo research
31 Oct 2024
5 biggest challenges facing misinformation researchers science.org/content/article/…
1) Defining it
2) Everything is political
3) Harms hard to pin down
4) Companies own the data
5) The problem is global
I would add (related to #3), what's the direction of causation? Do people use misinformation to justify a position they already hold (e.g., part of a community that embraces) or did the misinformation lead to the belief? (Guess: complex & shifting combo).

Check out our latest work! tldr; Most popular LLMs are not great (but are consistent with one another) at assessing the credibility of news sources. They are also politically biased.
13 Aug 2024
AI search engines use LLMs to summarize results for you, but can LLMs discern low-credibility sources from credible ones? Our paper measures the accuracy of LLMs' credibility ratings on news sources and political biases.

Just a heads-up that the deadlines for those two positions are approaching in 3 days:
Postdoc: x.com/lorenz_spreen/status/1…
PhD: x.com/lorenz_spreen/status/1…
And for this one there are ca. 2 weeks left to apply:
Postdoc: x.com/lorenz_spreen/status/1…
30 Jul 2024
And the third position is now also here: a 2-year postdoc (with possible extension) on the algorithmically curated online discourse:
