    1. I worked with Anna Zaitsev (Berkely postdoc) to study YouTube recommendation radicalization. We painstakingly collected and grouped channels (768) and recommendations (23M) and found that the algo has a deradicalizing influence. Pre-print: 🧵

    First astrology, now “energy healing” and other Paltrovian quackery: The New York Times has become strangely sympathetic to pseudoscience.

    SJW: Math operates as whiteness, with unearned credibility. Anti-SJW: Look at these weird Po snowflakes. At best they don’t make sense. At worst they’re using intersectionality to advance neo-Marxism. Anti-anti-SJW: Wrong, idiot. Racism exists. Just look at land use statistics.

    NYT: What's the big deal with a little medical quackery and potentially dangerous pseudoscience between consenting adults? Also, NYT: how the anti-vax movement slowly took hold after decades of small-scale activism. ()

    Alright. Inspired by this tweet, I decided to read all relevant preprints (about 30 in all). Here's what I've found, a thread. 1/15

    I would have Josh Szep'ed him with the n-word. It's like peanuts and Voldemort. Coddling causes harm through fragility, and taboo gives the name more power than it would otherwise.

    Iona & Aaron in a disagreeable but kind conversation abiut civility and free speech. Both make strong arguments and good examples. I found myself desperately wanting to join in with my 2c which is a good sign it's engaging content.

    ICYMI, from me at : Peggy Orenstein thinks boys & young men need to be "fixed" to be more empathetic, but her own empathy often seems in short supply

    Such a good article. If I was given a button that would end the neurodiversity movement, I would press it.

    We tracked more than $174 million in foreign funding going to the nation's top think tanks in our new report "Foreign Funding of Think Tanks in America." It's a must read for understanding this seldom discussed avenue of foreign influence

    "I published a paper... defending the study of race differences in intelligence. This topic arouses strong emotions. But... the job of philosophers is to confront issues dispassionately, guided only by reason and evidence..."

    Controlling employees personal lives is a terrible response to that. He should have hired mote diverse (in the full sense of that word) writers rather than the wokerati. A notable exception is who is fantastic.

    Reading this book atm, and it's good interview. Monk's point about a more intense elite polarisation online was good. Funny how Ezra laments he wishes he could stop employees from tweeting....

    I'm baffled by how lazy and dumb this fake data strategy is: 1. Make up some numbers for controls 2. Copy them to a new column for the treatments, and add +2 to each one Not to mention the ethical lapses involved.

    What an incredible scandal: A startup that makes medical records software used in tens of thousands of doctors offices was secretly getting paid by an opioid maker to insert a pop-up box suggesting opioid prescriptions

    This study also used logged out recommendations. And they only analysed people migrating to more fringe channels but not the other way - rigged by design.

    This is an ironic headline, given that it is, itself, disinformation
