Ross Taylor: studying LLM behavior will increasingly resemble social science
rosstaylor90 · x · 2026-10-24
Ross Taylor (co-founder of Adept) argues that as inference-compute usage for LLMs grows and models are deployed in parallel at scale, studying their behavior will increasingly resemble social science rather than traditional engineering. Karen Zhou, quoted in the post, highlights the interdisciplinary nature of this effort — a notable shift toward observational, population-level study of model behavior.
