When no one was listening to creative workers and our concerns about the impact of genAI in our fields, Timnit did ;) She is not only "one of the fiercest voices in the world speaking truth to power", she also give the space and the voice to precarious workers. Something that not everyone does 🔥

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....

I'm sure the irony isn't lost that the star baseball player of Field of Dreams, who walked out of the cornfield which now has gambling ads on it, was banned for life by baseball for gambling.

The environmental damage is well documented at this point. I think the status of data centers as focal points of economic damage merits a little more expansion: www.wired.com/story/the-ai...

I feel like baseball players holding the line against billionaires in the year of our Lord 2027 would be the most inspiring and America thing ever.

Idk did the dodgers ensure a lockout or did the commissioner who said it's a point of leverage and a tool for their side that they look forward to using ensure a lockout?

Ultimate case study in how AI reduces creativity to generic cliches, as documented in multiple research studies.

Recent experience with the insidiousness of perceived AI slop 🧵: Our student SMT Data Challenge bans AI, including writing their final papers. We’re able to enforce the ban because organizers work closely with the kids as advisors/mentors. 1/

In the last year, broad cuts to the agencies and mechanisms that fund scholarship in the U.S., have crippled the work of scholars. But in solidarity, we have collectively come together and developed ways to carry on that work. #scholarship #humanities #socialscience #highered #academia

What does "Responsive and Responsible AI Use in the Classroom" look like? @gilliansmac.bsky.social, Sarah Freye, and Danielle Nicole DeVoss, and I addressed this in a wonderful roundtable discussion revised for the newest volume of the Proceedings of the H-Net Teaching Conference. Check it out!

Leo XIV's encyclical rightly calls for AI that protects human dignity. In @techpolicypress.bsky.social, I warn against piling responsibility on individuals while systems are built to undermine their judgment. I point to initiatives by @newpublic.org & @datasociety.bsky.social that seek alternatives

Please check out & share this incredible new digital humanities archive w/ interactive map, the Black Church Burning Project. blackchurchburningproject.org It exists to identify & document every Black church & congregation that was burned, bombed, or otherwise attacked during the Civil Rights era.

I am both honored and excited to have been named keynote speaker for the 2026 H-Net Teaching Conference. I will be speaking on the importance, and responsibility, of modeling empathetic, civil discourse for students in an era of stark, unhealthy binaries in social media and our political discourse.

H-Net is stronger as an organization due to the fantastic contributions from Brandon Bell over the past few years. Some people you hate to lose because of the energy they brought to the team. Some because of the consistency and quality of their work. Brandon is all of these things. Thanks Brandon.

H-Net@h-net-humanities.bsky.social · 3mo ago

With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to an incredible staffer.💛 Over the past three years, Brandon has made an undeniable impact on H-Net and has brought so much joy to our home office. We wish you nothing but success in your future endeavors. Thank you for everything, Brandon!🌟

I’ve been largely absent from this platform in recent months. I had arguably the busiest four months of my career: leading H-Net, teaching 4 classes, and serving on many committees in many capacities.
