That discovery led me to entirely new archives that hadn’t been on my radar before.
And at the Eisenhower library, as I researched religious nationalism in the 1950s, I found a document that once again subverted the expectations I originally had (and that AI would still have)

Instead, I launched myself into the archives and soon found that religious conservatives in the 1960s were strongly influenced by the politics of religious nationalism (In God We Trust, etc) of the 1950s — even though the literature (which AI would’ve used) told me that was meaningless.
Nope!

If I’d asked AI to guide me, it would’ve mapped out the book I envisioned in my head because, like me, it would’ve drawn its conclusions just from what we already knew. No surprises.

When I planned my second book, I originally planned to do a grassroots study of the communities that formed the Religious Right.
I thought it’d be focused in the 1960s and 1970s, revolving around a counterrevolution on social issues.

Absolutely right.
AI might be able to summarize (poorly) what we currently know, but a major goal of historical research is to find the hidden surprises out there.

Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

To be seen and supported through life events is a student’s greatest wish. Thank you Steve. Academics need to do better.
@mattblaze And take care of your students, both your advisees and classroom students. I've heard some truly horrific stories to accompany requests for short extensions on something. My response is always the same: take care of yourself, don't worry about the deadline, I'll do everything I can to […]

we at @aial.ie, are investigating amplification/censorship on X/twitter in EU. what are major EU:
-politicians & regulators
-journalists
-influencers & public intellectuals, with high visibility/influence on X, across both left & right political ideologies
we're interested in existing datasets too

New paper hot off the press www.nature.com/articles/s41...
We analysed over 40,000 computer vision papers from CVPR (the longest standing CV conf) & associated patents tracing pathways from research to application. We found that 90% of papers & 86% of downstream patents power surveillance

Computer-vision research powers surveillance technology - Nature
An analysis of research papers and citing patents indicates the extensive ties between computer-vision research and surveillance.
