Can we please stop calling it AI and refer to ‘Super Parrot’ going forward?

E.g “We have put the world in danger with Super Parrot, admits ChatGPT creator”

Thanks. #AI #SuperParrot #Bullshit

Exxon just reported record profits for the first quarter of this year, raking in $11.43 billion. The oil giant now has $33 billion cash on hand.

Say it with me, corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers demanding better wages and benefits.

I have NO patience for people who claim that historians should be producing traditional scholarship and not addressing the public.

Historians should be engaging with EVERY public.

Talking about democracy.

Teaching about democracy.

Highlighting the gaslighting & correcting the whitewashing.

If ever there was a time for historians to step up & engage with the public for the sake of American democracy, it's NOW.

Sending this out again because I forgot to say: 10AM ET.

Tomorrow on my live webcast, "History Matters:"

When Words Mean Everything & Nothing

I read an article on "woke" stock investing this AM. "Woke" now means everything & nothing, as used by some.

Tomorrow: a historical look at buzzwords & why they work so well.

Join us!

Good evening, folks.

The meeting point of the 1/6 anniversary & the speakership struggle in the House was quite...something. Indeed, I see the latter as a continuation of the former in more ways than one.

Below are some of my thoughts from the last 2 days from PBS, CNN, and the New York Times (which should be available outside of its paywall here).
