Decline of Stack Overflow user engagement is more nuanced than it seems.
The sharp activity drop in #knowledge-sharing platforms has sparked concerns re the sustainability of #GenAI. If LLMs depend on human-generated data but reduce content generation, are we hitting the so-called #peak_data? 1/n

New Preprint: Scalable adaptive network intervention for multi-agent systems using RL+Variational Auto Encoders (VAE)
Past research has shown that the network structure of agents interactions influences system-level behavior, thus can be used as an effective system governance intervention. 1/n

This is the issue that the new cognitive turn in behavioral econ has to resolve head on.
Is the dimensionality of factors that the new frameworks are introducing going to be so high to make them vacuous? 1/n

Three formal arguments for why there cannot be a finite set of cognitive biases.
The lack of a finite set of biases is one reason I believe Heuristics and Biases cannot survive long term as a prescriptive paradigm. A paradigm of deviations must eventually collapse under its own weight.
