Make sure to turn off the AI settings in Academia.edu independent.academia.edu/HowardWillia... Thanks to @fortrenn.bsky.social and @downham.bsky.social for the heads up! There's already more than enough intellectual theft within and around the academy thank you very much! AI can jog on!

Hello, old friend, U Fv1992;157 Arlanda, Måby ägor. #Arlanda the only airport with its own #runestone.

This week, our project member Chris Cooijmans will be revealing some initial results from the Great Viking Survey as part of the Midgard Talks series in Borre. Do come along if you find yourself in the area, especially if you're already at Midgardsblot next door! vestfoldmuseene.no/midgard-viki...

'philology: that strange, fusty old discipline that is often used to mean any number of things, but is, at its heart, the study of language in its totality, the point at which linguistics, literary criticism, history and material culture all overlap' - hurrah! 🎉👏🎆

To teach is to learn and this opportunity, provided by my friend and colleague @shieldmaidenpdx.bsky.social, slots well alongside some other career pivots I’ll be undertaking moving into September In the words of Alcuin of York; ‘read joyfully, son!’

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right? Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

Checked the weather for my Aug 1 live event in Atlanta:expected to be down to 87 degrees with possible rain.Glad I missed this week's heat 😂 Hope you'll come out and help shape the night's narrative. I suspect some of "the deep questions" be on the agenda. www.ticketmaster.com/event/0E0062...

This was written in the 1890s by an American academic. The human propensity for repetition is astounding. But then again, I’m a historian so it isn’t to me. Study the past and you’ll see we have limited range.

I said the same thing to my wife several times. I feel like I'm actually learning about the past living through what we're experiencing now. There WAS so much that was weird and hard to understand about earlier (similar) eras that I currently say to myself "oh...I get it now." A case study indeed.

we're in a cursed world where only **vibes** matter as opposed to any sense of objective reality about anything

Some people say the biggest gap in research funding is at mid career level. So here is our new call for our mid career fellowship programme which provides buyout for 6 to 12 months to devote to the completion of a major piece of research.

Great to see the film marking JORVIK’s 40th anniversary available on YouTube - featuring various interviews with the original project team. I was fortunate to be at the premiere back in February, and can wholeheartedly recommend. Congrats to @christuckley.bsky.social and @jorvikviking.bsky.social!

Just listened to @derekgottlieb.bsky.social podcast on AI in Ed. Really interesting/reassuring chat w/ S. Sidorkin. I'm mindful of Ayres' theory of institutional lag & how tech always moves ahead of social institutions. But we catch up & adapt. Well worth a listen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/6...

My friend Davide sent me this about the amazing Etruscan discovery he and his @baylorhistory.bsky.social team made at the dig he’s been directing for many years. So unbelievably cool! With discoveries like this I fear I’ll never get him to come back to viking studies 😂 arkeonews.net/exceptional-...

My latest. Interesting comments. What do you think? terribarnes.substack.com/p/war-what-i...

If you're getting notifications from Academia(.)edu about AI versions of your papers now being podcasts, that's because the (predatory) platform has opted you into AI-enhanced outputs, which you can turn off in your Account Settings here.

in a crowded field this has to be one of the stupidest things ive read about LLMs and it astonishes me that this quote is from a humanist, a historian! by definition, what these tools cannot do is original novel research of the kind we do in monographs! www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

This piece on the humanities and AI is interesting. But I struggled with the text below, in which research is seen as the efficient extraction of what I already know I want. For me, the point of books is that they’re not ‘customized’ — their quirkiness is a feature, not a bug. tinyurl.run/cwxDSr
