Listen to the First Computer-Generated Christmas Carols, From Alan Turing's Lab
"Jingle Bells" and "Good King Wenceslas" haven't sounded like this in a long time.
What an absolute pleasure it was to attend the 6th edition of CHR! Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this edition even better than the last #CHR2025 Onward to Manchester, home of some wonderful computing history:

Torching the Modern-Day Library of Alexandria
βSomewhere at Google there is a database containing 25 million books and nobody is allowed to read them.β
I curated some readings for class on "data tensions" and the list felt worth sharing. Come on a tour of datasets, books, the web, and AI with me...
We'll start with this piece on the Google Books project: the hopes, dreams, disasters, and aftermath of building a public library on the internet.

π£ New preprint! We know humans are biased against AI-creativity. But what about LLMs, now often judging creativity in various contexts? Do they replicate, transform, or amplify this bias? We tested it. Turns out: AI is 2.5X more biased against its own work than humans. arxiv.org/pdf/2510.08831 π§΅

Can AI be creative if it doesn't believe it can? We asked 556 humans and 13 LLMs to judge creative writing. Then we lied about who wrote what. Result: AI has learned to distrust itself, showing 2.5Γ stronger bias than humans against AI-labeled creativity. Proud of this work with @mmvty.bsky.social π
