Yes, this post is about AI, sort of. But really, it’s about the topic of storytelling. Join our conversation about its evolutionary benefits, what makes a story ‘interesting,’ and even the role AI might play in a return to folk narrative. Join us!

@r0ck3t23 Fei-Fei is right, but there’s more. The other blind spot is getting these models to integrate human universal values: https://t.co/nxUzWjiqh5

Where do we go deep? Where do we stretch across? What methods and models make the most sense? Why? With the accelerated pace and unprecedented scope and scale LLM's offer, the risk of rapidly veering off course is now greater.

Considering what works, what doesn’t, and why in research: in most cases, success hinges on consciously considered the timing of insights, and de-emphasizing efforts to convince. I collected some thoughts (and offer a strategy) here:

@harri_thomas This is what anthropologists call ‘rite of passage.’ Stages: cohort formation (e.g., separation from main group); shared struggle and support from in-group (liminality); new layer of identity (re-integration). The result is lasting deep bonds within the in-group.
