An interesting long read, focused on Song-Chun Zhu and American/Chinese relations to AI research. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

A tremendous pick for very big shoes. Lo's work on AI Literacy has been very useful for my current research, and Unsworth's work was essential for launching the digital humanities. UVA sure knows how to pick them.

My paper with @ericelmoznino.bsky.social on AI consciousness and the danger of people seeing it (whether or not it is there) is out in @science.org.

Sweet! Reach out whenever you're ready to schedule. I want to learn, and this sounds like fun.

I really enjoyed it, and I am excited to listen to the new episode that just dropped. If you ever need a guest, I think that might be fun. (I've been thinking about starting a podcast, but I have no idea what I am doing.)

Listening to a new podcast called "Humanities and AI" by Elizabeth Callaway and Rebekah Cummings. humanities-and-ai-podcast.simplecast.com

At this point, I assume anyone who mentions "AI" is talking about ChatGPT until they demonstrate they know what AI is. It's far more likely to be a marketing term than a field of study.

Job alert! 🌸🏔️ The UW iSchool is hiring for *two* TT faculty positions, with a focus on Artificial Intelligence, broadly defined. It's pretty here!

Applications due November 15th 2025 (priority deadline).

Claude just released their new version of ChatGPT Code Interpreter! It can run Python and Node.js code in a sandboxed Linux environment, and unlike OpenAI's version the Claude one can install additional packages

Here's my detailed review: simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/9/c...

There's a significant schism here for field entry: Sesame Street era (BERT, Ernie, Elmo, etc.) scholars who readily pick up models on HuggingFace vs. post-ChatGPT scholars who tend to conflate AI as an entire category of scholarly activities with Big Tech chatbots. Most DHers are the latter.

Adding old friends today to catch up on what everyone is up to. As for me, Constellate has been sunset, and I started a new position at Ithaka S+R as "Senior Educator." I'm working on a lot of AI Literacy projects, but this one is probably the largest: sr.ithaka.org/blog/integra...

Welp. Hello blue sky world! Let's see what the fuss is about.
