The longer I spend in digital humanities, the more I am obsessively drawn to analog technologies and convinced we must actively and intently teach them or the digital world loses its color, texture, and depth.

Sometimes I remember I exist in the same building as a wall of 17th century pamphlets, and it's just so damn cool.

Disappointing to see the HEA--a public body responsible for governance and regulation of higher education in Ireland--launching courses on "AI Fluency" that were co-designed by Anthropic. Their involvement is a clear and obvious conflict of interest. hea.ie/2026/04/01/h...

“If you wanted to create a tool that would enable the destruction of institutions that prop up democratic life, you could not do better than AI. Authoritarian leaders & tech oligarchs are deploying AI systems to hollow out public institutions with an astonishing alacrity.”

"Tech companies do everything to turn inevitability into a lived experience, as they pollute their applications with ‘AI assistants’ and make opting out quite a cumbersome task for technology users. The inevitability myth is powerful. So powerful, I nearly got trapped." 👏

We need a critique of AI in academic publishing. Following my decision not to sign an AI addendum to my contract with Cambridge University Press, I wrote this short essay which is now out in the Dublin Review of Books. 👇 drb.ie/move-over-fo...

Recommendations please: I'm looking for an LLM that can be downloaded and run on a local machine. User-friendliness of installation and use much more important than power or parameter size.

Obviously one expects no less from the university rankings industrial complex, but this is absolutely dire, willfully-naive AI boosterism. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

How to use ChatGPT at university without cheating: ‘Now it’s more like a study partner’

The ubiquitous AI tool has a divisive effect on educators with some seeing it a boon and others a menace. So what should you know about where to draw the line between check and cheat?

Just realised that Robert Frost's "Putting in the Seed" has a winking emoticon: (Soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite, Mingled with these, smooth bean and wrinkled pea;)

Students hate that I base 50% of their grade on their "rich inner life" but this is the only way to be sure they are not using LLMs

Disappointing to see this piece recommending a general embrace of AI in higher education with no meaningful engagement with the serious issues involved. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Artificial intelligence is to be embraced rather than feared, but educators and students cannot ignore its dark side

Read somewhere that em-dashes are now considered a signal of AI-generated text and lamented that AI is destroying everything that I love.

Ireland & UK #DigitalHumanities folk, would you like to help shape the development of the UK-Ireland DH Association? There’s an open call for expressions of interest to join the organising collective (3 new members) & we’d love to hear from you whether you’re in HE, GLAM or somewhere else entirely!
