1/7 In 1941, Borges imagined an impossible novel that follows all narrative branches at once. Today, we can observe chatbot users exploring narrative possibilities as they repeatedly edit story prompts. In our COLM 2026 paper, we studied this branching exploration via the WildChat dataset. 🧵

I'm incredibly honored to be selected, as one of 11 teams, for a 2026 @schmidtsciences.bsky.social HAVI Development Award. I'll be working with the brilliant @mariaa.bsky.social and @mellymeldubs.bsky.social on Borges, generative AI, imaginary books, and many things in between. An absolute dream!

@davidbessis.bsky.social 's recent episode on Russ Roberts' EconTalk is extraordinary. www.econtalk.org/a-mind-blowi... . I highly recommend it to anyone in *any* field of study. I cannot wait to read his book _Mathematica_, especially since I already see so much of Borges baked in there.

These are all amazing projects, and well deserved. But yet again, the ACLS only awards projects on Latin America by historians. No one from a Spanish dept in sight. 🙄

Today I am filled with gratitude that this book went from being an idea to an object that exists in the real world. Last evening I finally got my copies and I would like to highlight a couple of the chapters in it 🧵
