  7. Critique Is Over, Morality Is Dead, and Surreal Utopias Are Where It’s At

    An article by #LuceDeLire in #eflux journal.

    Intellectuals used to publicly critique the powerful on moral grounds. Today, both critique and morality have become dysfunctional—for perfectly political and material reasons. I argue that, for political gains, we should now craft surreal utopias—hospitable, euphoric, lesbian.

  8. I was only made aware of this (frankly awesome) case of LLM poisoning today: nature.com/articles/d41586-026. A researcher made up a disease and published two evidently fake preprints about it (including sentences such as “this entire paper is made up” and “Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group”), which were almost immediately picked up by LLMs and documented in their output. Worse, actual – supposedly serious – medical papers also started citing the preprints, demonstrating that academics relying on LLMs to do their work is a genuine problem! Not that I had my doubts but, if anyone did, this seems like the perfect demonstration of the problem. Article immediately added to the syllabus of the class I am co-teaching with Iris Ferrazzo on LLMs for Romance Studies/Humanities!

  14. "The Department of Government Efficiency’s cancellation last year of the majority of ffederal #humanities #grants, including to several #Jewish projects, was #unlawful and #unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

    In her 143-page ruling, U.S. District #Judge #ColleenMcMahon called out the agency created by #President #DonaldTrump specifically for its targeting of Jewish projects, including #Holocaust #research.

    “At a time when the specter of #antisemitism has reemerged from the shadows, for our Government to deem a project about #Jewishwomen disfavored because it centered on ‘Jewish cultures’ and ‘female’ voices is deeply troubling,” wrote #McMahon, who was appointed by President #BillClinton in 1998. She was referring specifically to a canceled “project on Jewish #women subjected to slave labor during the Holocaust.”

  23. Liberal arts and critical thinking are as relevant as ever. So Why is their education dwindling?
    For decades, such departments have been actively crippled by institutions that shun them on principle.

  30. #3GoodThings (Teaching #Beloved)

    1. Student read Baby Suggs's magnificent sermon in the Clearing so beautifully that the class just sat in wonder.

    2. We discussed fluids (& fluidity) in the text: water, blood, milk, sweat, pus, mud, semen.

    3. The class focused on Morrison's depiction of slavery's effects on Black women, especially their bodies and babies. "The child shall follow the condition of the mother" was the legal framework of #slavery that incentivized & monetized rape.

    #Humanities

  31. Hey #MomsForLiberty, I mean Moms for #fascism, I taught #Beloved today -- you know, one of your favorite books to ban, the one that won a #Nobel -- and the discussion was wonderful, thoughtful, powerful. The students were blown away by #Morrison's voice, writing, story. We talked about a lot about #grief, generational #trauma, and the power of stories. And F you for trying to take them away.
