Would LLMs change the field of Sociology? Large-scale socioeconomic experiments can now be run on LLM agents easily. Agent modelling is nothing new, but I think LLM agents can become an interesting addition there with their somewhat nondeterministic nature (on positive temps). And more importantly their ability to be instructed in English.


That's fun to think about. We can actually do the sci-fi visions of running millions of simulated dates / war games and score outcomes.


And depending who the "we" are, also doing the implementation.
