We often describe LLMs as “next-token predictors.” That description is correct, and deeply insufficient. In a new AI Letters paper, I argue for proto-interpretation: understanding inference as a temporally structured interpretive process. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

LLM, Aletheia, and Poiesis. Offering yet another way to view LLMs that rejects the instrumentalist view. rost.me/2025/07/18/l...

New post out about LLMs as relational. How language is a medium for thought, not a carrier of information. rost.me/2025/07/15/L...

We’re hosting a workshop at Aarhus 2025: The End of Programming (as we know it) Rethinking coding in the age of AI—beyond productivity, toward new practices, tools & ideas. 📅 Aug 19 (hybrid) 📝 Submit by June 27 🔗 mi.sh.se/~shmnjn07/th...

Short post by @rost.me arguing that calling LLMs "generative AI" is misleading nowadays, since generating plausible text is really only one of many things they do (he proposes the term "interpretive AI"). rost.me/2025/05/27/i...

Qwq on stacking three eggs. It's showing a lot of humour in its reasoning and is certainly taking its time to reach a final solution. gist.github.com/rrostt/be0fa...

🤖 From narratives of AI to its ethical landscape - @coeckelbergh.bsky.social takes us through a philosophical journey on the #HCAI Podcast. What does responsible #AI development really mean? 🔗 Tune in at hcai.se/podcast/24-1... #ethicalAI #humancenteredAI #responsibleAI #aidemocracy

Throwback to our episode on Human-centered AI-mediated Communication with @informor.bsky.social. Check out/listen to the full episode at hcai.se/podcast/24-0... #humanceteredai #humancetered #hcai #communication

Some skills, like doing my taxes or filling out travel reimbursement requests, I will happily leave for cognitive atrophy. Others, not so much. In this blog post, I ruminate on how HCAI tools should teach people to fish rather than feed them. niklaselmqvist.medium.com/teach-a-man-...

We had a great discussion with @nelmqvist.bsky.social about how AI, HCI, and data visalization can work together to develop tools that support us. Check out the episode ⬇️

🚀 What role does #AI play in amplifying and augmenting human abilities? @nelmqvist.bsky.social joins the #HCAI Podcast to discuss the intersection of data visualization, #HCI, and AI tools that empower, not replace, us. 🔗 Listen now hcai.se/podcast/24-1... #humancenteredai #dataviz

New episode of the HCAI podcast! We had the privilege to speak to @j2bryson.bsky.social on governance, policymaking, regional control, and philosophy. You'll find links to the episode below #HCAI #AIAct #DSA #AIGovernance #AIPolicy #GDPR #CCPA #humancenteredartificialintelligence #humancenteredai

A few weeks ago, we had a great discussion with Natali Helberger about human-centricity, transparency, policy, and use of AI. The episode it out now. hcai.se/podcast/24-0... #humancenteredartificialintelligence #hcai #transparency #transparentai #aigovernance

Last month, we had a great chat with #CornellTech's Mor Naaman about Human-centered AI-mediated communication. Listen to our conversation in the latest episode of the HCAI podcast hcai.se/podcast/24-0... #humancenteredartificialintelligence #aimediatecommunication #hcai

Having this podcast has been the best excuse ever to get to speak to people that do some of the most interesting work in #AI (even though our focus remains to be #HCAI). In the latest episode, we spoke to Ricardo Baeza-Yates - a data scientist since decades (before data science was a "thing").
