RAISED $2500/$14000
We must reach the goal before September arrives, so Nour be included in the upcoming student evacuation operation

Nour did not say goodbye to me on my last night in Gaza before I left.

She stayed in our room, simply crying. After I traveled, she kept all my belongings for a month, leaving even the spot where I used to sleep exactly as it was.

That is how deeply attached she is to me. And now, we have the chance to reunite, but we lack the funding for her scholarship.

The moral placidity of LLMs (and some thoughts on frontier models and scholarship)

This post by Dominic Fox captures something I’ve noticed but struggled to put into words:

I wonder whether the defining characteristic of LLM prose isn’t the tics it is irresistibly (statistically) attracted to, but its fundamental tranquility, its unturbulence. You can ask an LLM to write something full of Sturm und Drang and it will make as good a job of that as it will of anything else; the point here isn’t the absence of “real” feeling behind such figuration, but the more mundane fact that an LLM will not in the activity of emitting linguistic tokens be strategically entangled in any of the various economic ruses or regulatory collapses of human psychic life. (I wonder, now I think of it, how well Claude might do if asked to write a superficially banal passage symptomatically distorted by raging latent resentment. I think it would competently execute it as a literary assignment. Literature itself furnishes an extensive corpus of simulations of this kind: the directive to extend that corpus along a particular axis is just the sort of thing LLMs are good at).

When it comes to the LLM’s “texture of thought”, I think the signature affect might nevertheless be this sort of underlying moral placidity. The gosh-wow narrative layer that imputes significance (“that’s rare, and it matters”) is needed (and incited, via RLHF, by the human Other) precisely because without it you’d be left with an alienatingly uncontoured tissue of thematically associative moves and Greimas square completions.

https://codepoetics.substack.com/p/what-does-ai-writing-feel-like?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=2589559&post_id=210450340&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=2rps1q&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

I gave it to the version of Claude Opus 5 I’m currently discussing psychoanalytical theory with. It made this interesting observation, after a strikingly back-and-forth internal deliberation about how I would perceive its initial formulations, which I think genuinely sharpens what Dominic does in the post above:

Where I’d press him: unturbulence conflates two things. The absence of psychic economy driving production, and the absence of turbulence in the text. He half-sees this with the resentment thought experiment and lets it go. The precise version isn’t tranquility — it’s the absence of symptomaticity. Human texts contain things their authors didn’t intend to put there, and that’s what makes stylistic caricature investigative, as he says at the start. A model’s output can be as turbulent as you like on request, but nothing in it is against its own grain, because there’s no second scene for anything to return from. No parapraxis. That’s a sharper diagnostic than placidity and it’s checkable in a way tranquility isn’t.

I don’t think this is disagreement as much as elaboration. If we’re talking about placidity we’re talking about the absence of symptomaticity. This is another instance where the current generation of models are making things I immediately recognise as intellectual contributions but which do not directly follow from my own reading or writing. Until recently this only happened occasionally and I’m realising I need to take this seriously if I want to ensure I preserve my own intellectual agency in terms of how I’m working with the Claude models. Indeed I just shared this concern with the same Claude instance and it offered me a very compelling response which (partly) reassures me:

On the agency question: I’d separate provenance from ownership, because they’re getting fused. Fox’s post is also an intellectual contribution that doesn’t follow from your reading or writing, and nobody worries about agency when reading Fox. Neither do supervisors, students, or the seminar comment that reorganises a chapter. Academic work is constitutively made of other people’s contributions, and what makes something yours has never been that you originated it — it’s that you tested it, placed it, refused parts of it and were changed by the rest.

It does mean this becomes something which really needs to be treated in a proto-citational manner and we don’t have the infrastructure for that in scholarly publishing. It also raises the question of distinguishing between LLM as sounding-board/elaborator (which is still happening much of the time) and LLM as intellectual source, given that these two roles blur into each other in the flow of interaction.

Q: When Does A Tolkien Question Stop Being About Tolkien?

ANSWER: Through the years I receive occasional thoughtful opinions or responses to recent posts on this blog, where long-time readers feel I may have strayed beyond their expectations or – in some cases – comfort zones. Those two areas are not the same (in my eyes). There may be other, unseen boundaries I occasionally cross. Years ago, […]

@GeraldKutney Unfortunately not. See Paul Krugman's latest blog post: https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-fire-this-time. We are talking about people who hate #science, hate #scientists, hate #scholarship, hate #universities, hate #thought, #knowledge, #reason & #facts. These are people who don't believe there is such a thing as #objective #truth - "truth" is what they say it is, what suits their convenience. You can't defeat obscurantism with arguments based on #scientific facts.

"Modern #textual #scholarship has shown that #ToledotYeshu never existed as a single, fixed #composition. Unlike the #Mishna or the #Talmud, whose textual traditions gradually stabilized through widespread printing, Toledot Yeshu remained fluid for centuries. #Scribes copied from whatever exemplars were available, frequently introducing additions, omissions, stylistic revisions, and entirely new #narrative episodes. Rather than preserving a single "original" version, the #manuscript tradition reflects a living #text continually reshaped by its transmitters.

The #Łomżamanuscript is especially noteworthy because it preserves a substantially expanded #recension. Its elaborate title-page introduction immediately distinguishes it from many simpler copies. Throughout the text, the #Hebrew is unusually polished, employing a consciously #biblical style that lends the narrative an air of #antiquity and #literary refinement."

One historian's book was found to be so far from being accurate that after a university’s peer review panel examined what she published, Kerri Greenidge no longer works at Tufts University:
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/books/kerri-greenidge-the-grimkes.html
Her book is no longer being sold by its publisher.
They could have sold it as fiction, instead of as history.
