I think it's just a matter of time until the tech for quick and easy digitization is perfected. Still, i doubt most docs will be digitized, especially official gov recs. But it does beg the question of what kind of history will AI be able to produce?

Historians everywhere are 😂😭 because we've seen what "AI history" looks like, and it's...bad. Today's AI experiment gave me totally wrong historical dates/locations because it can't assess accuracy. It can only scrape to the corners of the web and regurgitate. #skystorians

I do it this way too! It offers such clarity 🤓

Crucial win in the battle for academic freedom!!!💥💥💥I must say, I didn't expect this! I'm hugely relieved at this positive development on TX SB 37 that allows us to continue teaching about the history of race, gender, inequality, ethnicity...in other words, history. #AFT #unions #skystorians

My thoughts exactly. Wth.

Happy to virtually drop into your classroom for a book talk! Love to chat about methodology, oral history, immigration, etc

Shameless plug on the 5-year anniversary of my first book! Looking for a U.S. history that covers segregation in the post-Jim Crow South, foreign relations, international students, Asian Americans, and urban hist? Consider 📗 Redefining the Immigrant South!📗 uncpress.org/book/9781469... #skystorians

I'm happy to virtually drop into your classroom for a book talk 📗

a society where "bad immigrants" are demonised is a society where no immigrant can truly feel welcome, because aren't we all just one wrong turn or accident away from being unemployed? on disability benefits? unable to care for our children without state help? just no such thing as a safe immigrant

State takeover of higher ed now goes to the House. Don't, for a second, think this strategy will remain confined to TX #history
