For academic writers, editors, and publishers looking for a systematic overview of emerging GenAI policies in an academic field, please see Yin and Chapelle's (2025) excellent paper which provides this for the field of applied linguistics: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Interesting. The evolution of conflict in literature / society

(by Instagram user: @grantdraws)
www.instagram.com/p/DBOlpAuRj9c/
A nine-panel cartoon grid titled "CONFLICT IN LITERATURE" depicts different types of conflict, categorized into "CLASSICAL," "MODERN," and "POSTMODERN" literary periods. Under "CLASSICAL," panels show "MAN vs. NATURE" (a person with a pitchfork against a pack of wolves), "MAN vs. MAN" (two people in a sword fight), and "MAN vs. GOD" (a person pointing a stick at a giant hand from the sky). The "MODERN" column shows "MAN vs. SOCIETY" (a person standing alone against a crowd with protest signs), "MAN vs. SELF" (a person facing a mirror image of themselves), and "MAN vs. NO GOD" (a person pointing a stick at an empty sky). The "POSTMODERN" column depicts "MAN vs. TECHNOLOGY" (a person with a baseball bat facing an array of computer screens), "MAN vs. REALITY" (a person standing in a surreal landscape of melting colors and shapes), and "MAN vs. AUTHOR" (a person standing on an open book, looking up at a giant hand holding a pen). The artist's signature, Grant Snider, is at the bottom right.

📣 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 🧵

This is a good post on how to get better at using AI. It's the product of pretty intensive research on what consistently works although I don't surface that research directly in it.

Bluesky and AI, so obviously comments on this are off. mikecaulfield.substack.com/p/is-the-llm...
Is the LLM response wrong, or have you just failed to iterate it?
Many "errors" in search-assisted LLMs are not errors at all, but the result of an investigation aborted too soon. Here's how to up your LLM-based verification game by going to round two.

I neither endorse nor criticize the original preprint, I haven't really spent the time with it

But my overall thought is, stay safe out there if you're a tech researcher right now touching any of these topics, because hype headlines and marketing cycles are not interested in your reputation

It’s wonderful that this video from Milwaukee’s Public Library system features a nod to a book on Prince, because he loved libraries. In 2001, he donated $12k to save the Louisville Free Public Library’s Western Branch — the first to serve Black patrons. www.courier-journal.com/story/news/l...
