We're definitely not done with the data-viz side of this stuff now that we've got all this stuff flowin around, but this is a nice basic way to present it.

Evidence of equilibrium dynamics in human social networks evolving in time - Communications Physics Describing human social behaviour through simple mathematical models remains an open challenge. Here, the authors analyse a dataset tracking the evolution of social relationships among 900 individuals...

This surprising stability suggests deeper principles govern our social organization, transcending individual differences. Who knew physics could help us understand friendships?! 🤔 #CollectiveBehavior #EmergentProperties Read all about it: www.nature.com/articles/s42...

A Sanity Check on ‘Emergent Properties’ in Large Language Models One of the often-repeated claims about LLMs is that they have ‘emergent properties’. Unfortunately, in most cases the speaker/writer does not clarify what they mean by ‘emergence’. But misunderstandin...
