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.

In the last year, broad cuts to the agencies and mechanisms that fund scholarship in the U.S., have crippled the work of scholars. But in solidarity, we have collectively come together and developed ways to carry on that work. #scholarship #humanities #socialscience #highered #academia

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.

So I took what space I could to step back and be there for my people, and try to create some space for my own grief. This was one of the spaces I chose to give up.

Jesse Draper @jessedraperhnet.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

We don’t really do grief well in this society. We’re too busy and too concerned about keeping up with production/profit/appearances that we don’t allow our people the space they need to really sit with their grief. Though I had a lot on my plate, it was particularly hard for my wife and kids.

It was also the hardest four month stretch: parenting young adults going through tough life transitions amidst the loss of both my father-in-law and the wonderful dog my kids grew up with.

I’ve been largely absent from this platform in recent months. I had arguably the busiest four months of my career: leading H-Net, teaching 4 classes, and serving on many committees in many capacities.

If we agree to use these "social" mediums for public discourse, we agree to selling the validity of public discourse for another's profit. Reestablishing local, in person, spaces for public discourse seems essential to solving this problem. This seems like a good model: www.nyphilosophy.org/about
