Announcement: A new resource for #writingstudies #rhetoric #composition. I’ve been working on developing a space for audio texts in writing and rhetoric: audio articles, audio chapters, and audio books.

What an profound overview of scholarship by @DuqLibArtsDean in her essay "Computers and Composition at 40: A retrospective" published this month. Really helpful insights from 40 years of work on writing technologies for folks working on AI right now :) sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Prompt engineering is a poor term due to it’s rhetorical emphasis on brevity. We need to use longer input, and more detailed input, to get better output. The more you write into an AI writing program, the more useful it becomes.

I’m looking for some reading that explain subword tokenization and show that LLMs aren’t simply next word predictors.

C. Selfe always told us to never underestimate the power of small potent gestures. Powerful to hear @gonzlaur, who speaks of Selfe’s impact on her, point us forward with the concept of emergent strategies and spreading joy in small ways (via Benjamin and Brown) #cwcon #cwcon23
