I’ve been reading through my blog posts on September 11, 2001 and the days that followed. The things that stand out to me – in addition to the horror of the attack itself – are how massively we (or at least I) used the web to understand what was happening, […]
My colleague Jessica Witte has just shared a preprint where she compared the emotional arcs of the stories we generated using gpt-4o-mini to those of human-authored (pre-2022) stories from the subreddit r/WritingPrompts, conveniently gathered in this dataset. She found a distinct difference in the endings of the LLM-generated stories: both […]
Dorothy Bishop, a psychologist, wrote a useful list of what reviewers need to look out now that so many papers are bad science that looks good thanks to LLMs. Read her whole blog post, she explains it well, but here’s a brief version because I’m pretty sure we’ll be needing […]
I recently read a good article on the different kinds of truth a language model operates with by Luke Mann, Liam Magee and Vanicka Arora, Truth Machines: Synthesizing Veracity in AI Language Models, but despite its lovely typology of truths (consensus, correspondence, coherence and pragmatic) it doesn’t help me with […]
I have this hunch that sparkles and glow and shimmer are somehow a point in the latent spaces of LLMs that have more connections than you would expect. Perhaps their connotation to magic and to the unknown matches some of the mystique of genAI? Or perhaps these words are used […]
This LLM-generated paper demonstrates how LLMs fail to cite core scholarship on a topic but generate misaligned citations systematically.

Jill-
I noticed on the semester plan that you need a card to access the computer labs at your school? Wow, that is much more secure than any I’ve seen here. I wish we had that kind of security here.
Jill
Our campus is in the city, so we definitely need keycards…

Oh Jill…You know I would LOVE your course..unfortunately Italy is too far for coming to Bergen every week..but you’ll have a blog,won’t you? I’ll follow it step by step ,
Jill
Marina, what are you doing so far away from Bergen! Really!!!
😉
Unfortunately there isn’t a blog for the course… I mean, yes, it’d be cool, but while I sort of blog at th esame time as I think, I can’t really ask other lecturers to blog, or at least, I could, but I’d have to pay em extra… So it’s a f2f course.
Marina
So, I definetely have to come…;-)
Anyway, I would be really happy if you should give me a little bit more detailed schedule of the lectures with at least the material that I can find in Internet…of course I know that you’re really busy, so I won’t mind if you can’t…
Good luck with the course!
