If you are interested in #metaphors used in the press coverage of the 2025 Californian #wildfires, the publisher has now sent me 'offprints'. So if you want a pdf, let me know. Here is a post about the paper makingsciencepublic.com/2026/04/24/f...

There has been lots of talk of 'slowing down' AI. @jackstilgoe.bsky.social made a comment about it here and that set me off on the trail of various #metaphors. It was all more complicated than I thought, but here we are.... #linguistics #scicomm #AI makingsciencepublic.com/2026/09/18/f...

Thank you for coming along.

Feel free to add on. And to ask me to elaborate on any theories.

For weekend readers, a slightly different take on the AI 'going rogue' debate, exploring two interconnected layers of myth and #metaphors used within and about #AI systems makingsciencepublic.com/2026/09/11/f...

Interesting point to consider: when writing do you find the word for #phenomena? That becomes #reductionist bc you can never capture a feeling in a word. But what if you paint a feeling with #words? Better. But is it enough? #Metaphors are useful. What else? Food for #thought. Happy #writing! 🇨🇦💙

This week's post is about the myths and metaphors that emerged within and about AI models after the Hugging Face incident #AI #metaphors #AIMetaphorObservatory makingsciencepublic.com/2026/09/11/f...
