Unmasking Italian author Elena Ferrante, because we must
There's been yet more speculation as to the identity of the Italian author known as Elena Ferrante. The writer of novels including the Neapolitan Quartet, and The Lying Lives of Adults, has always been upfront about their use of a pseudonym. And despite writing novels since 1992, her identity, their identity, has, so far, remained a mystery. Nonetheless, the resolve to unmask the person, or persons, behind the works written under the name of Elena Ferrante, refuses to wane. Of course […]https://disassociated.com/unmasking-italian-author-elena-ferrante/

Bias isn't static. It grows in the loop, not the corpus.
LLMs develop novel social biases through adaptive exploration during use, which means the behavior itself is the mechanism. You can audit a training dataset. You cannot audit a feedback loop that hasn't happened yet.
Not inherited. Not static. Not in the data.
The agents sort this, or they don't.

After reading a lot of papers about societal collapse, I wanted a different perspective, so I turned to novels. Here's what I learned:
* Novels often use collapse only as a backdrop to motivate their protagonist.
* Collapse happens at the scale of systems, but novels are built around one or two people. Though some books get around this by following a large cast, or an institution.
* Timescale matters too. If a book covers a week, this is just to short to really much about collapse.Full post has short reviews of all of them, ranked: https://existentialcrunch.substack.com/p/can-you-learn-about-collapse-from
Would love to hear more recommendations!

WHAT am I reading?
Just Finished 'The Viaduct Killings' by Wes Markin. Cosy crime set in my home county of Yorkshire. Nice easy reading & I'll read another of Wes's books, which says something, I guess.
Currently reading 'Ancient Rome' by Simon Baker. It's remarkable how similar the power structures are today to those that brought Rome to power & destroyed it. A self serving elite that craved power & influence over everything, rising inequality between those who have & those who didn't... and so on. It's a lesson to us all & a good read, if a bit heavy in places.

This. Build our own institutions. They'll succeed.
"#Keene is the eponymous tastemaker at the helm of a new #imprint within #WickedSonPress, a 5-year-old #publisher that has released mostly #nonfiction that leans right.
#MegKeene #Books will release four to six #novels over the next year that she and #WickedSon’s founders believe will elevate #Jewish voices and reconstruct a bygone communal Jewish #literary conversation. She’ll also edit a forthcoming #literarymagazine designed to shape the Jewish #book-buying audience.
“My goal is to make Jewish #publishing feel really cool,” Keene told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
“I’m planning to acquire books across genres — male authors, female authors, romance, thriller, literary fiction — you know, the works,” she added. “I also intend to put everything I have behind each book, and sort of ask the Jewish community to support these books and make the case for them.”

The Forty Days of Musa Dagh -- Franz Werfel
I read this 1933 novel a little while ago. It's a long, one might almost say sprawling, fiction of an Armenian community's 1915 resistance to the genocide enacted by the.Young Turks.
The narrative of a community under siege is gripping, but the novel also deals with complex themes of identity, community, and nationality. As one might expect from a German speaking Jew who grew up in the capital of the Czech lands of Austria-Hungary, Werfel's treatment of the themes of nationalism and cosmopolitanism are, thankfully, never simplistic.
Obviously , much of the book's significance rests on it being an early literary response to the Armenian genocide. I'm sure that a horrified desire to learn about this campaign of persecution, exile, and killing accounts for much of the success that this book achieved in the US market on its publication in 1934. A readiness to learn about a gruesome episode in the "war to end all wars" probably played a part too in boosting sales.
I would also hazard a guess that for many readers in the thirties, the novel's story of a community's survival, albeit at a terrible price, could be seen as a parallel for the survival by individuals,families, and cities of the unprecedented hardships and upheavals of the Great Depression. The success of "Gone With The Wind" comes to mind.
Another parallel that now seems eerily prescient is that of...
