Algorithmic Collusion by Large Language Models
Joint w/ @sarafish.bsky.social & @ranshorrer.bsky.social

An academic paper has excellent empirical evidence & hypotheses that perfectly match the patterns in the data.

One catch: AI wrote the hypotheses after seeing the results.

Should this matter?

I made a theory starter pack. It includes some CS/Econ, pol-econ, and behavioral types as well... Lmk if you'd like to be added (or removed!) and I'll do my best - the edit functionality is a bit wonky atm
