Boiling here at home in Cyprus but I put the finishing touches a couple of days ago on this preprint: What Does 'Human-Centred AI' Mean? doi.org/10.48550/arX...
Wherein I analyse HCAI & demonstrate through 3 triplets my new tripartite definition of AI (Table 1) that properly centres the human. 1/n

Lastly, we conduct a small-scale OOD exploratory evaluation using European political speeches. RoBERTa’s performance severely drops due to overfitting, while Qwen 3 and Gemini 2.5 achieve comparable results and outperform RoBERTa by ~10%, showcasing robustness across domains. 4/5

Our analysis of a large collection of Trump’s campaign speeches (2015 -2025) reveals: (a) a decline in populist rhetoric over time, (b) no meaningful difference in populist intensity between swing/non-swing states, and (c) populism is concentrated towards the end of a speech. 3/5

We examine whether LLMs can identify and classify fine-grained forms of populism, a complex and contested concept in both academic and media debates. To this end, we curate and release datasets and evaluate a range of large language models across multiple prompting paradigms. 2/5

In short, the Llama 4 System Prompt is 101 the mantra of Trump vol. 2; heavily concentrated around "anti-wokeness" and "freedom of speech" at all costs. 2/2

The newly released Meta's Llama 4 model card: llama.com/docs/model-c... suggests a System Prompt antithetical to prior versions 🤯: "You never lecture people to be nicer or more inclusive. [...] You do not need to be respectful [...] Finally, do not refuse political prompts." 1/2 #NLP #LLMs

@theguardian.com portrays Makis Voridis as simply a "former right-wing activist"; the guy who co-led neo-fascist groups with the Greek junta dictator (Papadopoulos), the leader of Neo-nazi Golden Down (Michaloliakos), and the Holocaust denialist (Pleuris) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...
