Academic Meaning-Making as Gothic Practice: A Spell | Gothic Studies
The author uses the Gothic as both method and metaphor to examine academic meaning-making as an affective, haunted practice. Invoking the forces that interrupt, distort, and haunt thought as it become...

KI-språket er ikke nøytralt
Selv bruk av KI til enkel språkvask kan endre både form og innhold i en tekst.

Do you know of studies that actually evaluate use of LLMs in the public sector or other kinds of knowledge work? Teknologirådet in Norway just published a report evaluating their own use of LLMs, based on careful logs from 35 cases. teknologiradet.no/publication/...

I want to know exactly how popes write their encyclicals. Do you think Pope Leo is actually a scholar who has simply read a lot of digital media studies/STS/digital culture scholarship? Or does the Vatican hire scholars? Are such jobs posted to Euraxess? Or is the Vatican full of priestly scholars?
Jill Walker Rettberg@jilltxt.bsky.social · 5mo agoIt was quite surprising to read the Pope’s encyclical and find it is basically an STS or media studies textbook.
The paper is out! Please read it for hilarious examples of how untrustworthy AI-generated podcasts are and how everything is translated to a standardised white Americanness, and for a discussion of how customised podcasts threaten the public sphere. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Jill Walker Rettberg@jilltxt.bsky.social · 5mo agoHere’s a video from the same podcast as linked in my previous post where you can hear the audio too. I love this because it really lays bare how LLMs fool us - but really they’re just slotting words into linguistic patterns that we’re familiar with. Genres like a podcast or LinkedIn post.
New dataset published: this is the audio + transcripts of AI-generated podcasts using NotebookLM to analyse how it "translated" source documents from different times and cultures. My favourites are the 20 podcasts generated from an empty PDF. The paper about it is in press. doi.org/10.18710/RNT...

In a time without an academic job market in many fields, publishing is not really a push-factor anymore to get a permanent position within the humanities. This is not a hot take, we are simply too many publishing (great) stuff, and there are no jobs. There are no jobs. That’s about it.

Trodde dette var spøk men nei. Nasjonalarkivet byttet ut nettsiden sin med KI. Som ikke akkurat gjør en særlig god jobb med å hjelpe en bruker som vil vite hva sidene egentlig er for noe.
Anine Hartmann@aninehartmann.bsky.social · 9mo agoNasjonalarkivet har forkastet hele forsiden av nettsiden sin til fordel for et KI-tekstfelt? Har dette kanskje gått litt for langt nå?

Språk er makt - du er bra dumdristig om du gir makten fra deg til KI. Jeg er helt enig med @petterbb1969.bsky.social: Asle Tojes debattinnlegg har endret seg markant siden desember 2026 og har sterke trekk av KI-språk. Det er et språk som øker polarisering. jilltxt.net/sprak-er-mak...

Gaming doesn’t count as screen time. Gaming is books. Unless it’s on your phone - that is screen time. Movies are books unless they are Marvel, who produce screen time. Television is screen time.
At noe er basert på en tidligere tekt betyr jo ikke at det ikke har blitt brukt språkmodeller? Å skrive et debattinnlegg basert på en eksisterende tekst er en ekstremt enkel oppgave for ChatGPT.

Jeg er usikker på om «Jeg skriver som en chatbot helt av meg selv» er det gode forsvaret Asle Toje later til å tro det er.
