In "Proprietary LLMs impede scientific transparency and reproducibility," Killian McLaughlin, Alexis Palmer, Molly Crockett, and I explain how the rush for LLMs in social science is destabilizing scientific reliability. Proprietary models lack the transparency for repeatable science, and even worse - their behavior drifts over time. Alexis has shown that research findings can completely change between two runs of the "same" model over time. Our article offers suggestions, and Killian is working on a stealth project in this space. https://www.nature.com/articles/s44159-026-00593-8
