Analytics, Linguistics and LLMs with Leif Weatherby

We are joined by Leif Weatherby, author of Language Machines: Cultural AI and the End of Remainder Humanism, to talk about artificial intelligence: what these new technologies do, but more than that how the fact of their existence can teach us more about how language works. And then we continue down a variety of paths talking sports analytics, optimization, and other topics.https://www.upress.umn.edu/9781517919320/language-machines/Support the show
