Computational social scientist; assistant professor @ Purdue; I study how people self-organize in online communities and how we can make them work better.
Of course, it's hard to know when the inflection point will come, and some curves can look exponential for a long time.

And there's promising research into compressing models so that they work nearly as well with many fewer parameters.

One plausible future is that we identify some fundamental limitation in the LLM approach, open source LLMs that work about like today's frontier models become free and ubiquitous.

The hair is moving that direction. The physique on the other hand... :)

Thank you for being such wonderful hosts! It was great to hear about all the great things that you and others at Rutgers are doing!

Side note: What is my hair doing? Was it that goofy through the whole talk? The whole day?!

Depends on the manuscript. Some would be much better if they had used AI, so I feel confident they didn't! :)

But the reverse doesn't work - unless there are telltale signs like hallucinated citations, I'm never confident.

If you are interested in studying self-organizing processes of online communities, AI in online communities, and/or how communities influence their members (and vice versa), then you should come!

You should also reach out and introduce yourself - contact info is on my website at jeremydfoote.com
