A world model: On the political logics of generative AI The computational logics of large language models (LLMs) or generative AI – from the early models of CLIP and BERT to the explosion of text and image …

A relevant paper for thinking about the genealogies of generative AI models and how they constitute the foundations for a new 'generative episteme' is this: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thanks for reposting this great essay!

Today we celebrate the birth of the French philosopher Bruno Latour, one of the most influential thinkers in the philosophy of technology and science studies.

One of the great things about old AcademicTwitter was all the paper and book sharing. Hopefully, in time, Bluesky can serve the same purpose without all the noise.
