Sic transit gloria mundi. The tassel of a newly minted #AmherstCollege graduate, cast out to be trodden under foot of men.

So, an #AmherstCollege alumnus spent the night, wandering the Vatican Museums with a passkey. But it's not the one you think....

The video from Mememormee is now up! It's at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK_RVL9GlWM

"A dance-theater piece situated at the cutting edge of machine learning and art, mememormee uses choreography derived from AI models trained exclusively on the movements of lead choreographer, the particle physicist and AI researcher Dr. Mariel Pettee."

"College Grapples with Implications of ChatGPT" -- an article in the Amherst College student newspaper. I think they did a pretty nice job with this!

Ok, I should be working on a tenure review today, but instead am going down internet rabbit-holes. The latest involves a collection of #scrapbooks kept by the students of #AmherstCollege in the late #19c, a young man named William Belcher Whitney included. Here is an esp strange & imho creepy page, on which he's arranged into a heart shape the hairpins he's collected from his acquaintance at #MtHolyoke. There's a great discussion of this book on the Amherst Special Collections blog, ca 2012.

Well, I’m on Mastodon! I’m not big on social media, so I probably won’t post here often, but I’ll give a little info about myself.

I live in #London, where I study Anthropology at #LSE. I graduated last year from #AmherstCollege in #Massachusetts, and I grew up in #Minneapolis.

I’m a progressive activist with a particular focus on climate. Besides that, I enjoy blockprinting, theater, soccer, and programming.
