Many things are bad in the world right now but someone just opened a frozen yogurt and toppings by weight bowl place right next to my building, which is only bad for my bank account as opposed to everything else AND my bank account

It matters because this cursed platform is most likely also collecting behavioral data of researchers who create accounts, and then repackaging or deriving conclusions from that they can sell ... to funders, university admins, whomsoever wants it for prediction analytics or other.

I haven't logged in for several years but this was the nudge i needed, maybe you do too? Academia dot edu was both such a good idea initially ("facebook for academics"), later a place where people who found specific repositories too confusing went, then eventually a dated + dead place

some of my favorite former NEH employees have channeled their collective grant-making wisdom into an opportunity for funders. thrilled to see it! hire them. 💫

*taps the sign* tenure is, at its core, a promotion and not a promise of anything

Just a few pages in and already loving Jillian Hess’s “How Romantics and Victorians Organized Information” — its relevance to content architecture and editorial affordances in web and content management tools is pinging around in the back of my mind.

You can now buy this great book, Text and Data Mining Literacy for Librarians (alastore.ala.org/text-and-dat...) ft. a chapter from ~yours truly~ on understanding why sociolinguistics is important for doing TDM research, that you can read right now for free repository.arizona.edu/handle/10150...

Anthropic’s copyright settlement is historic, but it’s also not what many authors and publishers think. Check out our latest on what’s inside the proposed settlement:

I really enjoyed reading these really lovely and helpful reflections from Michelle Levy and Kandice Sherran on the Women's Print History Project and its work over the last decade. I always point students to it (and @grubstreetwomen.bsky.social's work) + womensprinthistoryproject.com/blog/post/152

I think that if you are trying to understand the Anthropic book settlement, and you are not doing it in light of the (extremely) failed Google book settlement from 2011, you will never be able to understand what is happening.

You can now download the book on the publisher's website: press.umich.edu/Books/P/Publ... (open access of course)

Linguistics lesson for the day: Accountability is crucial to interpreting language. We make sense of something based on who we believe said it. Synthetic text extruded by LLMs was not said by anyone -- so a crucial step in the chain is broken. >>

Academic authors, here's a peek into the black box of journal publishing from an journal editor if you can bear it:

I don’t usually feel like I have a good grasp on copyright or licensing despite my ongoing efforts to learn about it in practice, but dang. the Anthropic ruling is about them stealing the books, not the fair use case of working with the book’s content.

I’m seeing reports that they have settled at $3,000 per work, and if so, I need to see the settlement amount

it's aliiiiiveeeeeee! all 700 pages of my dissertation can be found here: hdl.handle.net/2429/92159
