Wow, isn't this the best lineup you've ever seen?! Don't be jealous! The programme for our workshop, "Hideous, Invasive, Forgotten: Theorising Uncharismatic Species in Environmental History", is now live! Get in touch if you'd like to take part, I'll be very happy to share participation details

„Ist er tot“? Fragte meine innere Stimme als ich das Zimmer betrat. Wir waren vor ein paar Sekunden in die Wohnung gekommen. Alle waren in großer Sorge, hatten den Notruf gewählt. Mit Vati stimmte etwas nicht. Als ich das Schlafzimmer betrete liegt Vati auf dem Bauch, quer auf dem Kingsizebett >>

After a mammal is a juvenile, they are an adult. But what are they after they are an adult? In seven species of mammal, including humans, life has a third act for females. We are underreacting to menopause.
Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

Had a really interesting conversation with other folks who teach our writing requirement at UB and all of us noted this shift in how students are talking about AI. Not to say we don’t see them still sometimes using it, but something really interesting is afoot. This video is cool validation!
Fucking incredible. Play this for every university administrator in the nation. She says AI is the next “industrial revolution” and all the students BOO loudly. And then when she says “a few years ago, AI was not part of our lives” they all CHEER. She is shocked by their reactions. I am not!!!
