Across history, linguists have insisted that language sets humans apart from other species. But a new study demonstrating AI’s startlingly complex “metalinguistic” skills threatens to throw mankind’s exclusivity out the window.

As DH grows, it’s increasingly important to publish conference papers, but there hasn’t been a clear venue for that.
So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more.
Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for leading this effort!

We’ve got another book coming out next year, called First Encounters with AI, with 16 essays reflecting on the entrance of AI into the space of writing and reading.

Data Through Design (DxD) is an annual exhibition featuring art works that creatively analyze, interpret and interrogate data made available in New York City’s Open Data portal. The DxD collective is pleased to announce our DxD 2026 Call for Proposals—seeking new art work, or work in progress not yet exhibited, that engages creatively with tangible and/or multimedia expressions of NYC’s Open Data. This year, we invite projects that explore ecosystems and cycles of life—how data expresses rhythms of growth, decay, renewal, and transformation, as well as the interplay between human and non-human worlds. We encourage artists to consider how the city, our communities, and data itself can be understood as ecological and cyclical: what accumulates, erodes, regenerates, or lingers as traces? How might data be materialized, embodied, or inscribed by natural processes? How might art reveal the ways human and natural systems shape and respond to one another?
This Data Through Design program looks really cool.
You can submit a proposal to make an art exhibition with data from NYC's open data portal. They give $900 stipends.
Proposals are due November 2.

Book’s partly up on Google Books: books.google.com/books?id=Iqm...

Excited to share my latest publication, "Generative Aesthetics: On formal stuckness in AI verse." It's published in a special issue in the Journal of Cultural Analytics, expertly edited by Tess McNulty and Laura Chapot, on "Computation and Form, Reconsidered."

The number of languages in the world just got a lot higher! At least constructed ones.
Meet ConlangCrafter - a pipeline for creating novel languages with LLMs.
A Japanese-Esperanto creole? An alien cephalopod color-based language?
Enter your idea and see a conlang emerge. 🧵👇
“Every language is a world” can now be translated into endless new constructed languages.
Conlangcrafter is an LLM pipeline that generates new languages and their grammars.
A language with only vowels? Languages with common triple center embedding? An impossible language?

We’ll make sure to advertise the many public events - the exhibition, the panel, the volume - in the next two years!

Our goal is to bridge humanities and CS approaches to AI and narration.

it’s delightful to be receiving this book when i’m wrestling with another essay about close reading because opening to virtually any page of this book and reading some or all of is a guaranteed win, clarifying and inspiring!

AI is reaching the level of complexity where quantitative evaluations are often not feasible anymore.
The Artificial Humanities book outlines how humanistic methodology can be used to approach and evaluate AI today.
The decade of the humanities is here!
