New in Nature: LLMs give "the party line" in the languages of authoritarian regimes. This works when they control the media, which feeds pretraining data. We show more state control over the media means less critical LLMs. 6 studies spanning 38 languages & 13 models. Details ↓

📢 New publication! 📢
So happy to see this paper finally out @epsrjournal.bsky.social !
Looking at public perceptions of party positions in 29 elections across 20 European countries, I test whether populist radical parties are seen as more moderate when they are part of a government coalition.

Thrilled to announce my paper with @dianamejordan.bsky.social & sky-less Trent Ollerenshaw is now published open-access at @apsrjournal.bsky.social. In a (very) large replication & extension, we show that design effects of repeated measure experiments are nonzero but typically small.

Eventful weekend! In 🇨🇿, a pro-democracy grassroots movement showed striking strength. Around 250,000 people mobilized across diverse views and party allegiances (though mostly critical of the current government), united in their commitment to democracy. www.expats.cz/czech-news/a...
New short paper w @jkalla.bsky.social !
Candidates gain from moderation, but less than many theories expect.
Many conclude voters must not care about issues.
This is wrong. Small *average* effects mask large effects on specific issues & are consistent with widespread issue-based voting 🧵
