I’m going to New York this morning to visit Hanne-Lovise! We’re going to see the Digital Play exhibition at the American Museum of the Moving Image. Sure it’s a 2 1/2 hour bus ride and then a subway ride away, but it’ll be fun!

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
