When no one was listening to creative workers and our concerns about the impact of genAI in our fields, Timnit did ;) She is not only "one of the fiercest voices in the world speaking truth to power", she also give the space and the voice to precarious workers. Something that not everyone does 🔥

I'm sure the irony isn't lost that the star baseball player of Field of Dreams, who walked out of the cornfield which now has gambling ads on it, was banned for life by baseball for gambling.

The environmental damage is well documented at this point. I think the status of data centers as focal points of economic damage merits a little more expansion: www.wired.com/story/the-ai...

Screencap of linked article:

Beyond online outcry, more people are starting to protest against the building of data centers that power these AI tools. “There's a lot of pushback coalescing around data centers," says Emily Bender, coauthor of The AI Con. "Data centers are important because they are focal points of environmental and economic damage.” Americans across the political spectrum have recently united in these data center protests.

I am both honored and excited to have been named keynote speaker for the 2026 H-Net Teaching Conference. I will be speaking on the importance, and responsibility, of modeling empathetic, civil discourse for students in an era of stark, unhealthy binaries in social media and our political discourse.

H-Net is stronger as an organization due to the fantastic contributions from Brandon Bell over the past few years. Some people you hate to lose because of the energy they brought to the team. Some because of the consistency and quality of their work. Brandon is all of these things. Thanks Brandon.
