Something’s wrong with my CSS, so the title overlaps the text in Netscape browsers (thanks to the people who’ve alerted me to this!) I promise I’ll fix it but it won’t be for a few days – I have to finish this thesis chapter before I let myself do more blog tweaking. Blog tweaking is so much more immediately gratifying thank writing. You get instant results, and they’re usually just wrong enough that you need to do just a little bit more. It’s really, really, dangerous. Btw, I’ve put my main index template for this blog online because I wished I had more templates to look at when I was doing it. And the stylesheet‘s online too of course, and anyone who wants to steal, modify or whatever them is more than welcome. Obviously there are errors, like this netscape thing. I have documented it fairly thoroughly, though.

    Oh, bless your heart. I may actually figure out now what’s wrong with my commenting feature — the comments links appear, but the comments don’t register. Perhaps then I’ll complete my own move to MT as well. 🙂

    Well, heartened by that, Vika, here’s my template for individual entries too. And I think the error about comments is a classic, half my students have it – the one where you are getting comments but the post still says Comments (0) right?

    Christian found the solution to this in a discussion on the MoveableType forum. You need to make sure your templates are set to automatically update, and you might need to install something called Digest::MD5. I’ve found this doesn’t happen in the latest version but that might just be chance.

    Yes, that’s the error! I’ll check out the other links, thank you for them. I asked about this on the MT forum some time ago, but stopped checking for replies before I got any. Hooray.

AI-generated stories have longer endings than human stories

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 […]

How to peer review a paper in 2026

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 […]

“So what if it was ChatGPT? It *could* have been true!”

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 […]

AI shimmer and sparkle

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 […]

Don’t do a systematic review if you’re in the humanities

This paper is a great example of why you probably shouldn’t use a systematic literature review for a theoretical and conceptual research question like “How does artificial intelligence affect the perception of authenticity and aura in art?” However, if you’re looking for an annotated list of 48 recent articles about […]
