Despite hype around GPT3/4, I'm finding these models perform poorly at classifying metaphors in text. Using validation sets of metaphorical vs. literal word pairs, GPT performs worse than random. Anyone seen any work evaluating the ability of these models to identify metaphors?

I think it's about time for computational social scientists to weigh in on the theory of emergence. I’m surprised that forefront conversations about emergence sidestep the topic of organizations, which def. exhibit top-down causality on individuals

The avatar GPT autogenerates for its "startup mentor" is so stereotypically male, revealing a world of latent stereotypes -- who is an expert on startups, who gets to have an authoritative voice, etc. Striking this goes unmentioned. Another eg of how images can be so revealing.

How does an idea spread? New models suggest that complex ideas (like attitudes about vaccination) build momentum on the periphery of social networks, in small, well-connected groups before they explode across society.
