Hi Matt, have you had any insights or experience around sociological programming since you posted this? I'm especially interested if you can point me towards any interesting directions for potential research questions for a PhD thesis in sociology. Keep up with the great writing!

I haven't, nor have I seen anyone publish anything along these lines. Very interesting! So the field's WIDE open for a paper. The thesis-sized question here might be something like "how do LLMs respond to sociological programming, and what explains these responses?" No one paper could answer that. You'd need a book-length work...
