Good bookmail today. Looking forward to learning about what’s been happening in Amityville since we last heard from that quiet little burg.
A book with a creepy face in a house that’s screaming positioned inside a real shark’s mouth. The book is Amityville Awakens by Robert Ottone.

My kid (an artist) was told, by an art history professor on the first day of class that if they don’t use AI then they should learn to serve tables. Someone that teaches about the creativity and work of artists! Just gross.

Started my 10th year of teaching at my university today (15th in a tenure track position). I have mixed feelings, but I always look forward to talking about archaeology and science with students regardless of the rest.

Hey Archaeologists, I'm doing a new class in the Fall on Collaborative and Community Archaeology and I was hoping y'all could turn me on to some articles or chapters that I could assign for my class to read. I have a good start, but would love to learn about more. 🏺

AI makes everything less interesting to me: music, writing, art, thinking (or lack of), and most importantly the people who use it. It is the experiences we have that make us interesting and when you give those experiences over to a computer you immediately become less interesting.

Any other archaeologists going to the SAAs going to put a "this presentation made by hand using no AI" statement in their talk or poster? I think I will. 🏺

We teach our students not to use people’s work without citing them (plagiarism) yet we increasingly allow AI to do just that. In fact, many teachers and professors have encouraged its use. G-AI is mimicry and plagiarism with enough distance from creators to provide its users plausible deniability.

I have been lucky enough to travel to Greenland a few times. It is a beautiful land with beautiful people. They don't deserve this kind of worry and fear. Just leave them alone and let the Kalaallit rule themselves and their traditional lands.

Got to see my favorite movie, The Warriors (1979), on the big screen last night. I was too young when it came out in theaters originally, so it was a great to finally see it in that venue. Still think the Baseball Furies should've been better with their bats than they were.

Slow news day I know but ICYMI here’s my piece for @newrepublic.com about how 50 years ago Ernest Becker sketched out a surprisingly durable diagnosis for many aspects of our current nightmare

The One Percent’s Fear of Death Is Wreaking Havoc on the World
Ernest Becker’s The Denial of Death posited that we act out in antisocial ways—and even embrace authoritarians—because we cannot face our own unavoidable demise.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr announced last week that the US federal government is terminating US$500 million worth of grants for mRNA vaccine research. We must never, ever, forget that millions are alive today, or in better health, because of this life-saving technology. go.nature.com/4msX3WL

Cancelling mRNA studies is the highest irresponsibility
The rest of the world is not following the US government’s dangerous path, and will stick with the technology that helped the world out of the COVID-19 pandemic.
