Early Epistemic Settlement in AI-Assisted Writing

A language model can resolve a writer's current organizing problem while the construction needed for her own resolution remains unfinished. I call this early epistemic settlement. The supplied organization meets every demand then governing the passage, yet proceeding from it can displace work through which the writer w...

Ephemeral Feeds and Enduring Rituals: RushTok and the Formation of Event-Based Algorithmic Communities

RushTok is examined as an event-based algorithmic community: a collective assembled around a bounded offline ritual and sustained by recommendation that outlines implications for platform governance, including time-bounded context, graduated visibility, and aftercare.

"What Are You Really Trying to Do?": Co-Creating Life Goals from Everyday Computer Use

This work introduces striving co-creation, a process for inferring broader life goals from unstructured observations of computer use and supports an editing interface that gives people agency over how they are understood by the system, feeding their corrections back into subsequent rounds of striving induction.

Cognitive Amplification vs Cognitive Delegation in Human-AI Systems: A Metric Framework

Artificial intelligence is increasingly embedded in human decision-making, yet distinguishing systems that genuinely amplify human cognition from those promoting excessive dependence remains underdefined. This paper introduces a framework to distinguish cognitive amplification (improving hybrid performance without degr...

Elsewise: Authoring Open-ended Interactive Narrative with Possibility Space Visualization

Interactive narrative (IN) authors craft spaces of divergent narrative possibilities for players to explore, with the player's input determining which narrative possibilities they actually experience. Generative AI can enable new forms of IN by improvisationally expanding on pre-authored content in response to open-end...

MADS: Multi-Agent Dialogue Simulation for Diverse Persuasion Data Generation

We propose MADS (Multi-Agent Dialogue Simulation), a scalable framework for generating persuasive multi-turn dialogues via agent self-play. MADS employs three coordinated agents: User Agents designed to simulate diverse persona-driven behaviors by leveraging personality signifiers such as Zodiac Signs and MBTI types, a...

MOONWALK: Mediating Operations with Intent-Evidence-Action Alignment Across Junior-Supervisor Review Workflows in Animation/VFX Pre-Production

A design framework for intent-evidence-action alignment is contributed: intent is articulated into a shared project record, judgments are anchored to grounded evidence, and authorized decisions are converted into clear revision tasks tied directly to reference notes.

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…
