Ce livre remet en question notre conception traditionnelle de l’humain, en explorant comment le sens émerge des interactions matérielles, des formats, des outils, et des pratiques éditoriales. Oubliez l’idée d’une pensée immatérielle : l’auteur démontre que des presses d’imprimerie aux logiciels, en passant par les « mauvais cigares » et les algorithmes, c’est la matière qui est le véritable moteur du sens. Dans ce cadre, l’édition n’est plus une simple pratique, mais elle devient une théorie à part entière, un lieu où la matière révèle sa force de production du sens. Ce livre nous invite à reconsidérer le rôle des « petites mains » et des tâches apparemment triviales dans la production du savoir, car la pensée n’est jamais le fait d’un sujet, mais d’une multitude d’interactions. À l’ère des intelligences artificielles et des textes numériques, cette révolution conceptuelle est indispensable pour comprendre notre rapport au texte et au monde.</p>",

They can’t create anything new!\" This is an idea already mentioned by Turing in his 1950 article (Computer Machinery and intelligence, the \"Ada Lovelace objection\") and which recurs notably in the recent (2021) seminal article “On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big?”. But what does \"creative\" mean? What if the question wasn’t whether or not a machine can be creative, but rather to give one or more formal and unambiguous definitions of creativity? In my presentation, I will analyze this hypothesis by focusing on the notion of temperature as implemented in the activation functions (softmax) of LLMs. </p>",
