The point is--Generative AI is being used to create fake additional content for even niche historical topics, like the exhibits within a World's Fair pavilion. These images are going to continue to get more realistic. It's dissipointing to have to add this new layer of vigilance to research.

"I feel scared [about ICE] every day. I go to sleep and I have nightmares about it. But I’m not going to let that stop me, because bravery is just the positive way to say you’re scared, and I’d rather be brave than scared." Gonna read this ⬇️ by @lexmcmenamin.com with my students on Friday.

The curious, contentious history of pumpkin spice lattes

Starbucks didn’t invent them. But it’s possible that Tori Amos or a Midwest grandma did.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

I’m the Director of the Center for Historical Studies at Northwestern and also a gender historian. If I thought for a minute that our administration had cancelled this conference for political reasons I would be complaining, loudly. But this is not an accurate representation of what happened.
