In a Turing Test of sorts, it looks like a 100% AI generated story just won the Commonwealth Prize for the Caribbean region "for its lyrical precision and haunting atmosphere, the story stood out for the confidence and restraint of its voice." Published in Granta: granta.com/the-serpent-...

To my Danish 🇩🇰 speaking friends: @madsrt.bsky.social and I wrote an op-ed about what the current use of social media and LLMs means for what it means to be literate. Here's brief summary in English: www.linkedin.com/posts/center... www.kristeligt-dagblad.dk/debat/profes...

I read a lot of social science papers on AI and my conclusion is that there are far too few people rigorously studying the implications (good & bad) of LLMs across society & work Computer science is producing a tide of good AI work. Economics, management, psych, & sociology etc. need to do the same
