While language is obviously solved, Google Home can't understand a word I speak to it.
Text or speech to text language and cultural issues are countless.
This calls for you to join, to co author and to show those model providers they should care about your language and culture as well.
Have a complaint about how arXiv works?
ArXiv is ready to listen, open community for open science:

I've just got hundreds of new citations in Google Scholar
Apparently, you can search your name and first letter + last name and find tons of badly parsed versions of your papers.
(Yes, citations don't matter, but making camera ready is boring, and I needed an escape,...)

In this paper alphaxiv.org/abs/2606.02293 by @mattwilkens
He tells about how we can give AI different context, altered paragraphs or biographies (and maybe model editing or training) to write parts of books anew and see how events unfold.

AI language acquisition.
Geniuses debated how humans learn language, what their stimulus is, and what kind of rules do they apply.
Why is the way AI learns language, less legitimate field of study?
I want the theory of AI language acquisition
@nsaphra.bsky.social is maybe the closest, although somewhat less of a theory like trees etc.
Counterfactual futures are the holy Grail of, well of a lot, right?
It's predicting the future plus making A/B tests.
Humanities come with this question now.
Can we now use AI to reimagine history and see how it would unfold differently?
There are experiments and they show some initial promise, but most of it is form and too initial to run for the prediction markets or to reliably imagine ghana had slavery never happened.
Still this is an interesting vision.
If any of you read the paper share what you took from it. I'm still wrapping my head what important takes I should take from it
