Some news, now that the paperwork is signed. I have been awarded a Fellowship at the Käte Hamburger Kolleg: Cultures of Research (c:o/re) at RWTH Aachen University, and will spend the next academic year in Germany. A year to read, to think, to write. Very much looking forward to it.

❓ Are large language models (LLMs) only processors of correlations or are they capable of causal reasoning? Join us next week for a lecture by M. Beatrice Fazi on the nature of causation and the role of LLMs as semiotic machines. ➡️ Abstract and registration: khk.rwth-aachen.de/event/causat...

That's the question driving this book I co-wrote with Alexander R. Galloway, Matthew Handelman, and Leif Weatherby. www.upress.umn.edu/978151792019...
