Systems programming the model
This paper examines the status of the language model object in generative AI, arguing that what we call a ‘model’ is inseparable from the systems deploying it. I first theorize how these objects emerge from systems-level interactions between trained artifacts, prompting mechanisms, and sampling methods, drawing on the philosophy of digital objects as well as software studies to show how models gain their objective character. Such interactions con…
Cultural Gradients and the Sociotechnics of Data
The advent of what business strategists are fond of calling the “Cambrian explosion” in artificial intelligence (AI) has spawned a legion of concerns about downstream effects. It’s hardly an argument at this point to say AI can have unintended, even harmful consequences for social life. The many calls to make AI fair and accountable, transparent and ethical, attest to such impacts, or the threat thereof. Acting on these calls often requires descr…
