I'm on a 38(!)-author paper just published in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence, "Computational hermeneutics: evaluating generative AI as a cultural technology". We splice Schleiermacher and hermeneutic theory into AI debates, arguing AI are "context machines". www.frontiersin.org/journals/art...

Frontiers | Computational hermeneutics: evaluating generative AI as a cultural technology

Generative AI (GenAI) systems are increasingly recognized as cultural technologies, yet current evaluation frameworks often treat culture as a variable to be...

Large survey conducted by Bookbub on how authors view generative AI. It shows that authors are divided on its use and the importance of ethical concerns among authors who don't use it. insights.bookbub.com/how-authors-... #AI #GenAI #Writing #CreativeIndustry

How Authors are Thinking About AI (Survey of 1,200+ Authors)

We surveyed more than 1,200 authors to learn how they're thinking about generative AI as it relates to their work. Here's what they had to say.

My heart ached when I was reminded that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for trying to make academic knowledge more accessible to the public. Meta, meanwhile, is doing it for their own bottom line. I'm going to guess that no one at Meta will be looking at spending 35 years in jail for this.

An image of Aaron Swartz with the following text: "Meta illegally downloaded 80+ TB of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

The AI Summit ends in rupture. AI accelerationists want pure expansion—more capital, energy, private infrastructure, no guard rails. Public interest camp supports labor, sustainability, shared data. safety, and oversight. The gap never looked wider. AI is in its empire era.

It's time for another exciting round of "CEO said a thing!" journalism, where a tech CEO says a thing, then the press trips over itself to repeat that thing largely devoid of critical thinking or historical context

The TOCHI special issue is out! It examines the rich and intricate histories of uncertainty in design—its philosophical implications, its critical role in prototyping, and its growing significance in more agentive systems intertwined with other beings. Check it out: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... #HCI

Prototyping with Uncertainties: Data, Algorithms, and Research through Design | ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction

Seen both as a resource and an obstacle to clarity, uncertainty is a concept that permeates many areas of design. As the concept gains prominence in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), this special issu...
