I am most interested in the rise of "we are the first paper to causally identify X" papers as well as "we aren't even going to pretend" genres.

I'm also interested in work on historical events (e.g., roll out of radio, Internet) if you have something there as well, although this is a bit easier to find.

I'm looking for *recent* work on topics like AI/democracy, algorithmic bias, data privacy, geopolitics of technology (chips, TikTok, etc.), content moderation/censorship/free expression, effects of social media, Internet governance, etc.
Suggestions and Self nominations welcome!

I have pitched an "email tax" to numerous admins. They always laugh, and then I tell them, "No I am dead serious."
The key problem is it costs people nothing to clutter my inbox, but (I flatter myself that) my time is not costless to the school.

I literally cannot think of any other reason why he is interested in Greenland. It's like the moron looked a at the Risk board and decided it was good advice.
