I fundamentally do not understand why anyone is interested in these parlor tricks. It's outperformed nothing because recombining word patterns into a text isn't writing. Writing is born out of human experiences filtered through a unique sensibility. Only Han Kang can make more Han Kang.

Put writing high quality literary text on the list of things that AIs used to not be able to do but now can do

With fine-tuning, now outperforming MFA-trained expert writers at emulating award-winning authors when rated blindly by MFA-trained experts papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

New paper: we argue that culinary prestige is created by erasing the genius and labor of food producers. Offers global scales across time, especially featuring how archaeology is important in showing this pattern in societies, and how intersectionality is crucial to understanding these dynamics

From the archive. “Biological races do not exist in humans. Why, then, do so many people in the United States and other parts of the world continue to believe in this myth?” Read more: www.sapiens.org/biology/athl...

Academic writing can be a pain, difficult coauthors, bossy PIs, crummy reviewers, testy editors but sometimes it all gels in a joyful process. So proud to share this publication on "Writing in community" #OpenAccess #AcWri doi.org/10.1111/aman...
Tapa de un articulo científico: Writing in community: Relationship building and accountability in knowledge production Jordi Armani Rivera Prince, Emily M. Blackwood, Madeleine Landrum, Emily B. P. Milton, Elizabeth L. Rodgers, Monica Barnes, Elizabeth Chin, Christa Craven, Kristina Douglass, María José Figuerero Torres, María A. Gutiérrez, Sarah Herr, Lisa Hodgetts, Kirk A. Maasch, Kylie E. Quave, Danilyn Rutherford, Daniel H. Sandweiss As anthropology reckons with its past, present, and future, anthropologists increasingly seek to challenge inequities within the discipline and academia more broadly. Anthropology, regardless of subdiscipline, is a social endeavor. Yet research often remains an isolating (though not necessarily solitary) process, even within research teams and in coauthorship contexts. Here, we focus on peer-reviewed publication as the principal manifestation of knowledge production and propose a method for challenging division, hierarchy, power differentials, and adherence to tradition: writing in community. Writing in community is a collaborative form of writing that centers care, abundance, joy, and personal satisfaction over the individuality currently rewarded by the academy. This process engenders consensus, circumvents normative hierarchical research and writing, and promotes relationship building. Here, we experiment by inviting reviewers and editors into our community to collectively contribute to the writing process and reflect on that experience together. Ultimately, we challenge norms for scholarship, (co)authorship, and ways of knowing to offer a more equitable praxis of knowledge production. We propose that writing in community can help anthropologists enact values of multivocality and research transparency.

We have a new open-access paper out on the chronology of an Inka-allied village in the Cusco region. We found that people at Ak'awillay did not have a continuous history at this site and rather were late settlers relative to the Inkas' consolidation of Cusco

Decided to make a list for Andean Archaeology but I need your help. I'm having a tough time finding colleagues. If you are an archaeologist working in the Andes (coast, Amazon, etc. count too) please let me know and I'll add you.

Excited to be publishing a paper that was both written in community and peer reviewed in community. The authors and reviewers had a collective zoom submission party today. We can do things differently. #anthropology #academicsky

Heading to my first ASOR tomorrow to talk about our research on equity and inclusion in archaeological education.

Looking forward to hearing about research on another side of the world
