every example of how AI could be useful is like “if you were eating cereal, AI could tell you what cereal you were eating”

Everyone who wants to push generative AI in teaching because it allegedly speeds up the learning process, should be forced to eat microwaved steak for a year. Time is often what ensures a good outcome, especially in teaching.

Ok so I have only watched all of the tv adaptations of poirot and Marple but yeah Hastings is annoying. Why does poirot keep him around?

For S5E3 of the WPHP Monthly Mercury, join us as we interview @meganpeiser.bsky.social and @embrarian.bsky.social about their work on the Hicks Collection. This episode has it all—a badass woman book collector, a Boston marriage, and even a heist (!!!): womensprinthistoryproject.com/blog/post/143

Found some radical pubs misfiled as “fliers” in the university archives, including a significant number of feminist/pro-abortion newsletters and manifestos!

Haha yes, they would’ve! But we have to have some way to talk about the T.S. Eliot stuff in the collection—DMac wrote his thesis on Eliot and sent it to him. Eliot sent it back with commentary.

Magnificent. Thank you, Kieran! We’re looking through some Anglo-Irish items acquired by my library in 1968, including Donagh MacDonagh’s personal library…

This constitutes misuse of telephonic communications in the state of Michigan. Go to the police. And yes, get out ASAP. Is your landlord the owner of the unit? I can help find out who owns the place if you’re not sure. Let me know if you need help with cats or want to stay in Ferndale TONIGHT.

This sums it up perfectly. It’s not a conversation.

“There is no ethical way to use the major AI image generators. All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are built for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real human artists.”

The problem with slightly veiled right-wing censorship like this is that people who are into civil disobedience can flood it with fake (and possibly hilarious) reports.

Friends! Can someone recommend a librarian at the Schlesinger Library? I have a question about their 1970s participation in the History of Women microform project. I’ll submit a query through their webform, but a personal contact would be awesome! Thank you!

Anyone have access to Irish Women Poets of the Romantic Period (Alexander Street Press // Proquest) via their library? I’d pay for your troubles with a watercolor painting!

Post-Jimmy?! This is difficult news, but Henshall seemed like he was phoning it in last season. How do we like Agatha Raisin as our new D.I.?

I know we all thought we knew what a hermeneutics of suspicion is, but what if it's actually paranoia that every paper we read was AI generated and what if we fucking hate being here.
