Anybody got any good reading recs on the ethics of pirating or P2P sharing copyrighted text and other artistic data (i.e. libgen) from a DH perspective? Trying to find some good pieces to introduce the issue to students. Got plenty on the AI training scandal, but looking for other angles…
This was an interesting breakdown of Claude Code’s leak, and I’m still loling at the “sentiment analysis“ code.
If you want Claude to know you’re mad, you better say “wtf,“ “shit,“ “fuck,” “horrible,“ “awful,“ or “terrible.” Don‘t try to get fancy with “atrocious“ or “balls.”
If anybody in the Princeton area is interested in how LLMs write fiction, Gabi Kirilloff and I are giving a talk on the topic tomorrow (Tuesday 31st) at 4.30pm in the Firestone library! @princetoncdh.bsky.social
I feel like I should be seeing this paper cited more often by CSS folks!!!
Whoa. "[F]inetuning exclusively on Haruki Murakami's novels unlocks verbatim recall of copyrighted books from over 30 unrelated authors...Our findings offer compelling evidence that model weights store copies of copyrighted works."

Thank you!!
Thanks!! :)
(2/2) We are super excited to continue our work in the AIH Lab at our new institution, and grateful to everyone at WashU who has supported us as we built the lab over the last two years!
(1/2) Delighted to announce that both I and my AI Humanities Lab co-PI Gabi Kirilloff have accepted positions as Assistant Professor of Computational Humanities at Carnegie Mellon's English dept starting Fall 26!
The Journal of World Literature invites abstracts for a special issue on Artificial Intelligence and World Literature.
We welcome work on LLMs & literary analysis, multilingualism, AI imaginaries, canonicity, and beyond.
Submit your abstract to guest editors’ emails by September 1, 2026.
Apparently my talk on AI and the author function was recorded and is available from Linda Hall Library: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3te...
Very good study!!!
"How LLMs Distort Our Written Language."
READ THIS STUDY. This is an A+ study. Plus there is enough information in the appendices to replicate it!

Data Organization in Spreadsheets Karl W. Broman & Kara H. Woo Pages 2-10 | Received 01 Jun 2017, Accepted author version posted online: 29 Sep 2017, Published online: 24 Apr 2018 1. Introduction 2. Be Consistent 3. Choose Good Names for Things 4. Write Dates as YYYY-MM-DD 5. No Empty Cells 6. Put Just One Thing in a Cell 7. Make it a Rectangle 8. Create a Data Dictionary 9. No Calculations in the Raw Data Files 10. Do Not Use Font Color or Highlighting as Data 11. Make Backups 12. Use Data Validation to Avoid Errors 13. Save the Data in Plain Text Files ABSTRACT Spreadsheets are widely used software tools for data entry, storage, analysis, and visualization. Focusing on the data entry and storage aspects, this article offers practical recommendations for organizing spreadsheet data to reduce errors and ease later analyses. The basic principles are: be consistent, write dates like YYYY-MM-DD, do not leave any cells empty, put just one thing in a cell, organize the data as a single rectangle (with subjects as rows and variables as columns, and with a single header row), create a data dictionary, do not include calculations in the raw data files, do not use font color or highlighting as data, choose good names for things, make backups, use data validation to avoid data entry errors, and save the data in plain text files.
Every day is a good day for sharing one of the most useful papers about research data ever written. PLEASE get your people to understand and follow this advice.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.
Quite concerning results about the use of LLMs for text annotation: almost all models produce outcomes that reproduce racial stereotypes.
Come be my colleague!

Not at all surprising but its very useful to have data!!
🥁🥁🥁 Newly out from us today in Science Advances: “Biased AI Writing Assistants Shift Users’ Attitudes on Societal Issues”.
Large Language Models are providing users with autocomplete writing suggestions on many platforms. Could these suggestions shift users’ own attitudes? (spoiler: YES) (1/7)
Someone just posted about how they don't care if their students use AI as long as the text conveys the ideas the students meant to convey. The thing is, you don't know exactly what you think until you write it. And if some prefab thing pops up, you're liable to decide that was what you thought.
It is interesting to see emotional engagement with AI chat bots universally decried, while engagement with fictional character is often considered cognitively and morally instructive (empathy, emotional intelligence etc.)
The difficulty of finding language that describes both the fictional character and the interactive AI model that is not near identical to the language we use to describe real people is another parallel here that facilitates slippage in both cases, I think.
Numerous sources have claimed that GPT-produced text is indistinguishable from human-written text across several genres. On 3/31, Gabi Kirilloff & @claudia42.bsky.social give a talk arguing that not only does GPT not write fictional narratives like a human, it also often fails to write about humans.
We’re looking for a Research Data Engineer (m/f/x) (3,5 years). If you have a #DigitalHumanities profile with experience in #TEI encoding, #OCR / #HTR, and #IIIF (or any of those and are willing to learn the rest), get in touch! The full time position can be split, so if (for whatever reason) […]
