Undringslitteratur: Understanding New Norwegian Speculative Fictions
A distinctive type of non-realist literature is emerging in Norway, one that necessitates the articulation of a new classificatory term. I propose the label undringslitteratur, situating this interven...

The website for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is completely scrubbed and gone! They didn't even leave a legacy statement.

I hope people understand that this is a major success for those who would attack democracy and media. I realize that the CPB was quite technical. But what we are looking at here is the decimation of a gigantic infrastructure for distribution and transmission of journalism and information.

The original Grammarly, “hey, you’re writing in the passive voice”, “sentences with two clauses usually require a comma”, was a genuinely good tool that actively made people better writers. Grammatically, at least. It’s heel turn is such a shame.

This (about the 'new' Grammarly AI toolset) is absolutely terrifying, not because the tool is good, but because it is an easy, all-in-one, way to avoid thinking any thoughts or doing any work at all *and 3000 universities say its OK to use*.

NRK: "Dropper tekgigantene: Bytter ut Chrome med norsk-islandsk nettleser"

Meg: Nokon bytter nettlesar til Vivaldi? Gøy! Kven gjer dette? Staten? Ein annan stat? Ein stor kommune? Eit stort konsern? Ein autoritet på teknologi?

NRK: Sigmund

Meg: ... kven er Sigmund?

NRK: ... det er hemmeleg

Bra post. Litt skummelt å se hvor populært X fremdeles er i Norge for menn, spesielt unge menn.

20 years ago, Colbert introduced "Wikiality" - change consensus reality by editing Wikipedia. His viewers' edits were undone by humans, usually within seconds. We're now in the age of "scrapiality," where text is true by default if it exists on the open web. This time there's no human to hit "undo."
I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

I en sak om hvor viktig det er at det er MENNESKER som skaper kunst og kultur, er det ekstra digg og forfriskende å se hvor menneskelige svar kunstnerne fra Kiki har (vs det substansløse tåkepratet fra Bonnier som like gjerne kunne vært skrevet med chatgpt):

Hvorfor skal Unni Lindell skrive bøker når AI-en kunne gjort den biten også?

Sykt provoserende at forfattere liksom skal være rangert høyere enn illustratører.

Irriterer også vettet av meg når musikere griner av AI-generert musikk SAMTIDIG som de bruker AI-slop albumcover eller musikkvideoer.🫠

KI-illustrasjonen har også desse subtile forskyvingane som ofte oppstår, som at forstørringsglaset og brilleglaset er blanda saman, og det er noko bakom skaftet som er ein slags kombinasjon av tommel og kinn, i tillegg til at det eine øyra har element av hår og forstørrings-/brilleglas. Blæh.

Specifically on this point of next-token prediction, as someone who’s studied this with eye-tracking, people are *not* next-token readers. They skim text. Eyes saccade. Even 1970s AI folks knew this, and old reading systems like DeJong’s FRUMP explored much more plausible mechanisms of reading.
this argument asks the reader to reframe human intelligence/cognition in machinic terms flipping the default/baseline from which intelligence is measured/understood to machines. basically reducing human cognition to mere neural connection, making erroneous comparisons & inflating llm capabilities

Libraries are among the few public institutions that represent the kind of world we want to live in. They must be fought for.

the other issue here is that elite media figures just don't actually want feedback, and are so weirdly bothered when they get a response they don't like from some rando with 800 followers

yes, people are dumb on the internet! move on! fix your life!

Veldig fascinerende at SPSS fortsatt er i bruk noen steder. Det er litt som å komme over en et oldtidsfunn i akademia.

Før så lyst til å vise frem til studentene sånn "se hva vi brukte da jeg var ung"

Min hobby for tiden er å hjelpe til å bygge opp The Living Archive hos Skeivt kunst og kultursenter her i Oslo.

Kjører vi Omeka?
Selvfølgelig

Setter vi opp etter "collections as data"-prinsippet så det også kan brukes i skeiv forskning?
Selvfølgelig!

Inviterer vi studenter med på laget?
YES.

Reminds me of “if art is the establishing or breaking of aesthetic rules, then AI art, as practiced by the Right, says that there are no rules but the naked exercise of power by an in-group over an out-group. It says that the only way to enjoy art is in knowing that it is hurting somebody.”
