Did you wake up this morning thinking "I wish someone would explain 'sparse autoencoders' in an approachable way"?
Do you wish you knew about 'Golden Gate Claude', perhaps the best AI model ever created?
It's your lucky day--all of that and more below!

I think the era of automated social science is starting to emerge. Here's why:

Assuming you're using agentic AI tools, my default work mode is now: every single task is an opportunity to figure out how to get Claude to make that task easier/better for me. Anytime it works well, save it to claude.md so that it just does it automatically next time.
AI models are very different. We don’t actually know how they work. Despite more capital investment than for any technological endeavor in history (roughly 50 Manhattan Projects after adjusting for inflation), we are, in some sense, flying blind.

There’s about to be a lot more of everything. More bots. More ads. More scams. More disinformation. More scientific discoveries. Imagine everything you know about automation and scale it up. The world is going to change very quickly.

LLMs will usher in a democratization of intellect. Now you too can have a junior (AI) scholar that you can blame for errors and fraud. Previously, only the top scholars had access to that kind of power.
