"Note that long papers will be published as a separate proceedings volume in the Anthology of Computers and the Humanities." This is a huge and welcome development! Honestly kind of a game-changer.

ICYMI, ace work from @thisisaaronland.bsky.social on shared vector embeddings for images as 'an exercise in practicing agency in our work [,] in producing tangible and reusable artifacts which have a longer shelf life' www.aaronland.info/weblog/2026/...
aaronland.info
shared vector embeddings (fantastic futures '26)
Shared vector embeddings simply makes it possible to do something similar at a smaller, more targeted, scale with fewer resources and less coordination.

So cool! Thank you for sharing, @miaout.bsky.social and thanks @thisisaaronland.bsky.social for posting. I wasn't aware of these efforts to share image vector embeddings, it opens up so many interesting possibilities...

PGP is full of fascinating material and new insights awaiting discovery. I hope the published data & our essay will make it more accessible and open it up to new audiences.

Rebecca Sutton Koeser @suttonkoeser.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Describing the shape, potential, and quirks of the data requires telling the long history of PGP, since the data bears traces of earlier decisions, technical limitations (pre-Unicode, mixed script, bi-direction text!), and both data and software migrations (consider context, make labor visible).

Highly recommend this new essay. Come for the 29,000 index cards, stay for the introduction of Unicode & implementation of IIIF. One of my fav quotes: "A good research infrastructure should encourage and inspire research, and ours quickly did just that, accelerating the expansion of the data."

The essay, by @suttonkoeser.bsky.social and @marinarustow.bsky.social, presents for the first time, a full account of the data behind the Princeton Geniza Project (PGP) — one of the richest digital resources for the study of the medieval Islamic and Jewish Mediterranean world.

I wrote about restoring my early digital history projects.

Restoring Old Digital History | Jason A. Heppler
If there’s one thing I’ve come to appreciate about generative AI, it’s the ability to automate routine things. One of my digital history sites—the first one I ever made—broke at some point. It’s an old site that really should’ve always been a static site, but static site generators were not quite a thing when I first made this project. Instead, I had a mix of HTML and PHP that assembled the site.

Can AI be creative if it doesn't believe it can? We asked 556 humans and 13 LLMs to judge creative writing. Then we lied about who wrote what. Result: AI has learned to distrust itself, showing 2.5× stronger bias than humans against AI-labeled creativity. Proud of this work with @mmvty.bsky.social 👇

📣 New preprint! We know humans are biased against AI-creativity. But what about LLMs, now often judging creativity in various contexts? Do they replicate, transform, or amplify this bias? We tested it. Turns out: AI is 2.5X more biased against its own work than humans. arxiv.org/pdf/2510.08831 🧵
