Applications for this 2-year postdoc at @cmu.edu are starting to be reviewed now, so don't delay! Please spread the news to your local #DH networks. One of the people you'll be working with is me :) I am excited to meet this new colleague and collaborate on computational humanities in Pittsburgh!

In research, to claim that generative AI somehow means commercial chatbots (I guess?), mangles those words to the point where they don't mean anything anymore (in research). "Generative" means something very specific. "AI" less so, and is contested, but it's definitely != "chatbot" (in research).

✨ We are hiring @crestumr.bsky.social ✨ Post-doc position, up to 3 years, in a Horizon project. Profile: at the intersection of NLP & Social Sciences. More information here: shorturl.at/TxDLN 🥰 RT appreciated 🥰

There's a genre of LLM criticism that I find so destructively unhelpful: using a single vague prompt to "analyze" data, e.g. "summarize the themes across this collection of texts," to claim "see! LLMs don't work." & it's getting published! Reviewers this is not good work pls reject it if you see it.

In the lawsuit by the MLA, @acls1919.bsky.social, & @historians.org, the court has ruled that termination by the NEH of grants to support scholars, research institutions, and humanities organizations was “unlawful, unconstitutional, ultra vires, and without legal effect.” www.mla.org/Resources/Ad...

fyi it started this week!

ding ding ding I also think it’s relevant that this is in particular a coding tool, and there was likely an effort to give it a masculine name as a result🫠

Anybody got any good reading recs on the ethics of pirating or P2P sharing copyrighted text and other artistic data (i.e. libgen) from a DH perspective? Trying to find some good pieces to introduce the issue to students. Got plenty on the AI training scandal, but looking for other angles…

This was an interesting breakdown of Claude Code’s leak, and I’m still loling at the “sentiment analysis“ code. If you want Claude to know you’re mad, you better say “wtf,“ “shit,“ “fuck,” “horrible,“ “awful,“ or “terrible.” Don‘t try to get fancy with “atrocious“ or “balls.”

If anybody in the Princeton area is interested in how LLMs write fiction, Gabi Kirilloff and I are giving a talk on the topic tomorrow (Tuesday 31st) at 4.30pm in the Firestone library! @princetoncdh.bsky.social

I feel like I should be seeing this paper cited more often by CSS folks!!!

Whoa. "[F]inetuning exclusively on Haruki Murakami's novels unlocks verbatim recall of copyrighted books from over 30 unrelated authors...Our findings offer compelling evidence that model weights store copies of copyrighted works." papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Very good study!!! "How LLMs Distort Our Written Language." READ THIS STUDY. This is an A+ study. Plus there is enough information in the appendices to replicate it! arxiv.org/pdf/2603.18161

I’m speaking in person tomorrow at CMU! “Language Models as Cultural Technologies: Case Studies in Storytelling and Poetry” And today at the University of Pittsburgh! “Language Models and the Culture of Science: Adoption, Homogenization, and Policy”

Every day is a good day for sharing one of the most useful papers about research data ever written. PLEASE get your people to understand and follow this advice. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Quite concerning results about the use of LLMs for text annotation: almost all models produce outcomes that reproduce racial stereotypes.

🥁🥁🥁 Newly out from us today in Science Advances: “Biased AI Writing Assistants Shift Users’ Attitudes on Societal Issues”. Large Language Models are providing users with autocomplete writing suggestions on many platforms. Could these suggestions shift users’ own attitudes? (spoiler: YES) (1/7)

Someone just posted about how they don't care if their students use AI as long as the text conveys the ideas the students meant to convey. The thing is, you don't know exactly what you think until you write it. And if some prefab thing pops up, you're liable to decide that was what you thought.
