When you gaze long enough into the #digital, the digital gazes back into you 👀 Here's an #AI take on my paper on the #politics of #archives and the #philosophy of #history in the digital age For more, read here: doi.org/10.1080/136425…

Excited to announce I'm part of a team that won a new Schmidt Sciences grant for the Humanities and AI. Our project: "AI for Historical and Cultural Reasoning." Follow for updates! schmidtsciences.org/humanities-and…

Academic publishing is perhaps the greatest scam perpetrated on intelligent people 1) Write grants (unpaid) 2) Do research 3) Write papers 4) Peer review (unpaid) 5) PAY up to $12K to publish 6) Need publications to get grants (back to step 1) Publishers: 38% profit margins

My 1991 Yugoslavia ethnic dot map (made in 2019, my name clearly watermarked on it) just hit 563,000 views and counting because DrewPavlou reposted it. He pockets 100% of the ad revenue. I get exactly €0.00. This is now the 4th or 5th time one of my maps has gone properly viral through reposts and I’ve been paid absolutely nothing. Visual creators are getting fucked by the current system. Every photographer, map maker, artist, and meme lord knows this is killing us while text posters and reply guys clean up. X’s revenue sharing is straight-up broken for anyone whose work is primarily images. Fix it so the original uploader/creator gets the bag when their work blows up, not the random guy who screen-shotted or re-uploaded it. We’ve been begging for this for two years. Please.
