I am very moved by the sight and very proud of @sashastiles and her beautiful work @MuseumModernArt. It feels righteous.

at a loss for words, so i’ll just post this photo by @sarafitzmaurice and say THANK YOU to everyone who came tonight. 💚💚💚
Gorgeous essay by @JonMalesic detailing the ways the hype of AI lets us down. Dear students, it's ok to not seek shortcuts to do the difficult work.
NEW: AI is not revolutionary. It’s a gimmick, writes @JonMalesic.

As an academic, the relative silence of the humanities and many social sciences about the future of our world with AI (besides far too many saying "AI is bad" without nuance), is a shame.
These are fields with a lot to say about the nature of being human, silent at a key moment.

it’s so lonely being the only one who knows the correct amount of reading to assign students and the correct amount of sociology to apply to literature

There’s a substantial risk to writing programs who refuse to acknowledge genAI’s impact. Far too many adopted unreliable AI detection or are thinking about returning to blue books. Neither works. We owe our students the opportunity to ✍️ naturally and alongside new tools.

six years ago i was in a poetry workshop being advised not to write with AI, and now i’m about to give a talk on AI poetry at georgia tech. this is one crazy journey.

There's a show on Netflix called Heartstoppers. On a recent episode, Issac is reading Crush at a party.

My oddly similar copy, which my then-girlfriend @lizrenzetti got jealous of me spending so much time reading and set on fire and threw out the window one night. When DFW saw it during an interview and I explained, he said “that’s so fucking cool”
