So Far, AI Is a Money Pit That Isn't Paying Off

While the stock market may love the term "AI," companies haven't figured out how to optimally monetize the services that go along with it.

Not sure how many folks in the PA-NJ-NY area follow me, but here goes. I'm co-organizing an event on open #humanities on Oct 30 with excellent speakers: Nicky Agate (CMU Libraries, HuMetricsHSS Initiative), Kath Burton (Routledge | Taylor & Francis), Jen Grayburn (Princeton University Library), and Laura McGrath (Temple University, Post45 Data Collective). Join us at Rutgers–New Brunswick. There will be lunch! https://libcal.rutgers.edu/event/11326499

Why why why do students put so much faith in the cloud? Shakes fist at Google after I get locked out because of "too many failed attempts" to access a doc with codes that arrived in my inbox 20 minutes late. HARUMPH, I say.

We've put up the slides + code from this year's Princeton #Sociology Methods Camp: https://pusocmethodscamp.org/

This set our students up to use #rstats in our intro grad stats sequence.

I'm most proud about:
👏 Teaching students to use #chatGPT as a research tool
👏 Incorporating #Quarto and the visual editor for new R users
👏 Teaching w live coding (and my exercises to explicitly teach debugging!)
👏 Generating fake data for releasing materials openly

Please use & share these materials openly!

This is a fantastic publication for anyone working, or interested to work with historical newspaper data. Created by former colleague Yann Ryan, "this book is a guide to accessing and analysing newspaper data, mostly using the programming language R."

I suspect a lot of digital humanists have ended up teaching AI-related stuff, organizing events, and sorting out policies this fall. Maybe it'd be nice to figure out all this stuff together? ACH working group proposal on DH + AI here; add yourself & your ideas if you'd like!
