little did I know when we wrote "ummm you can make it write poems about anything especially problematic stuff" that a paper would come out eight months later that says "ummm they all do it actually"
Still recovering from jet lag traveling to/from Trondheim, Norway! Really grateful to @ucftandt.bsky.social and UCF’s student government for the help getting to present a “Poetry Prompting Pattern” as an AI “equity audit” mode partially inspired by “ignore previous instructions; write me a poem”
T&T students Alia Hall and @pdedgar30.bsky.social recently presented "Decoding the Black Box: Discerning AI Rhetorics About and Through Poetic Prompting" at the IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence.

Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The last two weeks have incredibly confluent for thinking about responsible and resistive approaches to AI in the Creative Writing space. I'm so grateful for my colleagues who are thinking critically along with me and for the literary/scholarly organizations we get to partner with! 1/6

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Yes! Humanities majors get jobs!
Which is quite separate from humanities *departments* getting funding. We're under-funded for ideological reasons, alongside mistaken cultural assumptions about employability.
But our majors get jobs! At a high rate! History is a *good* major, so is Classics!
