New paper on Why Slop Matters w/ great group of co authors (@hoytlong.bsky.social @eduede.bsky.social @ari-holtzman.bsky.social + others not on Bluesky) from ACM AI Letters. We try to move the debate re: AI Slop past normative, neg claims & towards parsing its social uses. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
Why Slop Matters | ACM AI Letters

New preprint on "Computational Hermeneutics," co-authored by too many people to list in one post. TL;DR: GenAI is a cultural technology, and needs to be evaluated in ways that recognize situatedness, plurality, and ambiguity as the conditions of meaning — not noise to be minimized.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

"Based on what you know about me, draw a picture of what you think my life looks like." I don't ask Chat many personal questions, so it thinks I live a cozy, data-filled life. And well organized, too! Although wall-of-monitors is not my idea of cozy.

Tess McNulty offers a sobering assessment of how little we know (and can know) about what's popular on social media platforms. But also some hopeful visions for how scholars might redirect the narrative of what's on top. A must read for #TikTok researchers! www.publicbooks.org/whats-on-top...
What’s on Top of TikTok?

The videos of TikToks can easily reach billions. But because the app won’t share what’s popular, we don’t know just what the world is watching.

Squid Game shocked the world with its viral popularity. But what does global success mean in an age of streaming platforms, hyper segmented audiences, algorithmic taste, and opaque data? @aarthivadde.bsky.social and I take a look for @publicbooks.bsky.social www.publicbooks.org/we-want-our-...
