It’s so hard to stay motivated during the fall semester when you’re on the job market because it really feels like you’re sending your applications into the void.

One of my favorite interactions with a student happened on the last day I taught at Miami University while finishing my master's

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

Really can't emphasize enough that Character.AI is a predatory company profiting off of vulnerable children and if you're a teacher using the platform - or other LLMs - to "talk" with fictional or historical figures just stop.

Once humanities professors start quoting ChatGPT generated notes about theory in grad classes, this thing that we do is completely over. Either we're modeling lateral thinking for future professors or the humanities should be shut down.
