Welcome to Cologne! #Methodentagung2026 hast begun. We are looking forward to two days with 48 presentations on computational opportunities & challenges in the measurement of media use and effects and general trends in methods research in communication research. @dgpuk-meth.bsky.social

I also find this fascinating: "More broadly, our AI respondents didn’t like to admit to uncertainty. Across all the questions on our three surveys where a 'not sure' option was offered, human panelists were around four times as likely as the AI model to choose it."

AI polls can lean on racial or partisan stereotypes, a new @pewresearch.org study shows. An experimental AI poll found that 97% of Hispanic adults in the US were likely to follow the World Cup. The actual figure – based on human respondents – was 43%. www.pewresearch.org/data-labs/20...

Damn I am tired of people laughing about Deutsche Bahn. Travel in many other places in Europe and you will discover Germany is trying to do many things right with its railways. A quick blog post / rant from me: jonworth.eu/your-deutsche-… #CrossBorderRail

Your Deutsche Bahn "joke" is no longer funny (if it ever was)

Before attempting my record attempt between Kemijärvi, Finland and Lagos, Portugal, people told me over and over it would break down in Germany. So much so that I even tried to re-but (pre-but?) some of the likely critique. Now, having made the trip, and none of the total
