This paper is causing a stir. My hot takes: 1. In my ideal world, we would be building boatloads of datasets and models like this, leading to a metastudy to synthesize findings. 2. Their use of GPT to structure text is, in fact, a great use of LLMs for research.

Evaluating topic models (and document clustering methods) is hard. In fact, since our paper critiquing standard evaluation practices four years ago, there hasn't been a good replacement metric That ends today (we hope)! Our new ACL paper introduces an LLM-based evaluation protocol đź§µ

The philosopher Harry Frankfurt argued that bullshit was "a greater enemy of the truth than lies are". But is generative AI-generated botshit even worse than human-generated bullshit? (Yes) My latest

What would be really good now would be if computer/data science departments established programs in reading and interpreting text. There could be theories of text, and examples of texts from other time periods and other cultures. Above all, students would learn how to look at texts very closely.

This week has led to a clear uptick in activity here on Bluesky. This is promising for renewing our ability to form relational publics and organizational possibilities. I wrote about this in my Org Studies Agora essay. Despite X imploding, we can form discourses and connect.

This episode of Frontburner (CBC) with Gary Marcus was interesting. Good discussion about the pros and cons of generative AI use. It’s important to stress its value in prototyping, less in systems requiring reliability. I highly recommend giving it a listen

We’re facing a wave of botshit in organizations, which generative AI is creating. One of the big dangers of generative AI is that it brings the costs of bullshit down to zero. In a new article, we take a look at the phenomenon of 'Botshit'. Pre-print link:
