sorry but what is even the point of submitting to/attending a conference if you are going to have an AI chatbot present your research?

doesn't bode well that "what concrete contributions have you already made to the field" is being asked in assistant professor job interviews. seems like an obvious enough question but makes it clear that ABDs prob not seriously considered. previously early career positions now more mid-career.

This is a canary in the coal mine. Humanities programs are highly endangered, even the departments with reputations for discipline-defining job placement are treading water. What’s tragic about the University of Chicago case is that cuts are almost certainly elective and ideological.
