The danger to my job from AI isn't that AI can do my job, it's that my job is made even more precarious by the way AI is shaping ideas of the value of work. It can't do my job, but it can be part of convincing people (incorrectly) that my job isn't necessary.

I had such a fun time attending my first @wsguk.bsky.social seminar on Saturday! It was a lovely atmosphere and I enjoyed the brilliant talks by @evillegasdelatorre.bsky.social, Nora Rodríguez-Loro, and Sarah Clarke 📖 #earlymodern

Hot Publishing Take: You can write an A+ book, but unless it gets huge publisher support or gets randomly lucky, it won't be seen as successful. Publisher support is a $ decision you can't impact; luck depends on viral social media/celebrity endorsement. All we can do is keep writing and hope.

Yesterday, I went to see Carlos Acosta's Don Quixote at The Royal Opera House. Truly impressive and delightful, even if loosely based on Cervantes's masterpiece. #DonQuixote #ballet #CarlosAcosta #RoyalOperaHouse #belatedbirthdaypresent N.B.
