Can LLMs encode biased expectations about men? In our ACL Findings 2026 paper, “Real Men are Tough”, we study whether LLMs rely on traditional masculinity norms as expectations about male agents. @satonelli.bsky.social @elisaleonardelli.bsky.social @casulalm.bsky.social @boglarkanyul.bsky.social

Since it resonated with the audience, I’ll recap my main argument against AGI here. ‘General intelligence’ is like phlogiston, or the aether. It’s an outmoded scientific concept that does not refer to anything real. Any explanatory work it did can be done better by a richer scientific frame. 1/3

This was a truly heartening day, with deeply thoughtful challenges to the dominant narrative framed around AGI, coming from across disciplines and perspectives. Felt like the tide might finally be turning a bit, at least among the scientific community. Thanks @royalsociety.org!

Wow. The University of Chicago, a world-class institution whose humanities faculty in the past has included Homi Bhabha & Lauren Berlant & Ralph Ellison & Hannah freaking Arendt, is getting rid of basically every graduate department involving the acknowledgment that other cultures & languages exist.

Have you ever seen a book made entirely of silk? One item getting a lot of reading room attention recently is this "Livre de Prières." This book was manufactured with the Jacquard process, which relied on perforated punch cards to operate a loom, and is considered a precursor to early programming.

Wishing everybody happy holidays before a well-deserved break! Greetings from our traditional Christmas lunch 🎄🧑‍🎄 #NLP #Digitalhumanities

A life update I haven't shared online yet: I successfully defended my PhD thesis!
