A few days ago, I wrote up some thoughts on generative AI and the work of historians: “At best, we’re talking about software that’s very good at making sentences seem sentence-shaped.”

“'Librarians out in our branches are seeing a lot of young people who are really excited by these collections,' Langlais told 404 Media. 'Folks who are coming in just for the games are picking up program flyers and coming back for something like that.'"

“The Software Paper fills a gap for the computational and digital humanities communities...” Thank you to research software engineer extraordinaire @suttonkoeser.bsky.social for leading this initiative for Computational Humanities Research journal. Please share!

Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family. It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support. Thank you for your consideration.

I send the original to @mjcrockett.bsky.social yesterday saying we should write a rebuttal though neither of us have time, and then VOILÀ!! We need MORE of this! MORE responses from academics, more shaming, more fighting against the broligarchy's shameless grift on universities!

These starter packs feel like cheating 😅

It would be SUCH A SHAME if some of y'all decided to use this non-secured form that CSU management has set up to encourage students to narc on faculty striking and give them trash data to comb through. Such. A. Shame. Certainly don't do that. app.smartsheet.com/b/form/76a7e...

Missed a battle of Hastings question on jeopardy today and feel like I let @megsmith.bsky.social down

Anarchism wasn't condemned as ‘chaos’ & ‘terror’ for nothing. I wrote about the global campaign against anarchists from the “International Conference for the Defense of Society against the Anarchists” of 1898 to Stop Cop City. This history shaped policing. prismreports.org/2023/10/03/i...

Why isn't there a ready made photoshop of the Dude Where's My Car promo that says "Dude Where's My Server" so I can add it to this slide about hosting digital exhibits?!

Remember…LLM aren’t reading your work. They are using it to crunch numbers and then make synthetic text based on probability
