Is there a Humanities-specific interest group pushing back against AI at University level? I think it’s important that this organisation exists to call out the permissible culture around AI and how in a generation that might absolutely destroy the soul of learning.

Seriously. Or I’m gonna start it.

The Psalters exhibition at the Morgan Library surpassed my already high expectations. This case was among my favorite: two manuscripts of the psalms made 600 years apart, on the left with Old English (the little words in between the main text) from c.750 & on the right in Middle English from c.1400.
