- Two years ago, my novel "(Berlin, Miami)" came out in German. I "wrote" it by training a language model (GPT-J/GPT-NeoX) on four contemporary novels. The outcome is, unsurprisingly, surreal and fractured and, although funny, not a straightforward narrative at all. soundcloud.com/hannes-bajoh...

- Read my new preprint "Surface Reading LLMs: Synthetic Text and its Styles." I argue that we should not only look at the depth behind LLMs, but also take the surfaces seriously with which they present us: as the principal plane on which we encounter them in the life-world.

- Reposted by Hannes BajohrThis is one of the worst violations of research ethics I've ever seen. Manipulating people in online communities using deception, without consent, is not "low risk" and, as evidenced by the discourse in this Reddit post, resulted in harm. Great thread from Sarah, and I have additional thoughts. 🧵
