Some version of commercial Gen AI isn’t going away so my main concern is around student usage and what they are missing out on. But also the broader umbrella of AI has existed for awhile and will also continue to exist so there’s a value to studying that (ideally with attention to ethics and bias).

I ended up driving the car my parents drive 😂

It’s a melon-y color, so this can’t be a coincidence.

Oh good! I would love to see your article as my library’s coverage for the journal seems to end in 1868. rrisam, gmail. I am really excited to see how these conversations develop. And I just love anyone whose answer to what they are doing in DH right now isn’t AI 😭

Poor Amy had to deal with my innate desire to do what you say we shouldn’t which is police what we call things 😂

Have you read @aearhart.bsky.social’s new book on digital literary redlining? I think you may find it useful.

I do know that his undergrad degree was from University of Tokyo.

@jeddobson.bsky.social reports that his "special-student days" referenced in the article means he was a non-degree student.
November 28, 2025 at 12:43 PM
@jeddobson.bsky.social confirms this is correct. I had never heard the phrase "special student" before!
November 28, 2025 at 12:42 PM
I literally thought it was a typo and the student days were special to him 😂

Thank you for solving that mystery, which also crossed my mind but wasn't pressing.
November 28, 2025 at 12:40 PM
AHHHH that's what "special-student" is. I was mystified by that adjective. Thank you, Keeper of All Things Dartmouth 💕

It’s been a big dream of mine forever.
