This is 16 ways to sad 🤬 #NEH and staffers like @sheilaabrennan.bsky.social have guided this incredible agency with grace and generosity. Thank you for everything you've ever done. + TY for welcoming us to NEH HQ on Natl Hum Advocacy Day 2024. The joy & support bolstered us for mtgs on the Hill

In exploring Cal State’s massive new deal with OpenAI, @benjedwards.com asks whether AI is really good for learning. But he also asked me about another question: Suppose AI is useful. Does that mean universities should be paying Sam Altman, or supporting open source?

Join us tomorrow!!

Loving listening online to @roopikarisam.bsky.social who is scoping out how to respond to moment we are in now - and asking ourselves what is necessary to get a project done. "Ingenuity can be born from scarcity and exclusion". We can all change things - even if just a little 💃 #digitalhumanities
