Here's bit more about The Small Stuff, how it came about, and why it totally makes sense and adds up that I would write a self-help book, in a Bogosty way, about a flavor of contentment I call *gratification*.
The Small Stuff
How you got disconnected from the physical world—and how to reclaim that lost joy in everyday life. Out summer 2026.

An interesting long read, focused on Song-Chun Zhu and American/Chinese relations to AI research. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...
‘I have to do it’: Why one of the world’s most brilliant AI scientists left the US for China
In 2020, after spending half his life in the US, Song-Chun Zhu took a one-way ticket to China. Now he might hold the key to who wins the global AI race

A tremendous pick for very big shoes. Lo's work on AI Literacy has been very useful for my current research, and Unsworth's work was essential for launching the digital humanities. UVA sure knows how to pick them.
This morning we welcomed Leo S. Lo to the Library as the 16th University Librarian, as he begins his tenure as University Librarian and Dean of Libraries, Professor of Education, and Advisor to the Provost for AI Literacy.

Welcome to UVA and the Library, Dean Lo!

Claude just released their new version of ChatGPT Code Interpreter! It can run Python and Node.js code in a sandboxed Linux environment, and unlike OpenAI's version the Claude one can install additional packages

Here's my detailed review: simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/9/c...

Adding old friends today to catch up on what everyone is up to. As for me, Constellate has been sunset, and I started a new position at Ithaka S+R as "Senior Educator." I'm working on a lot of AI Literacy projects, but this one is probably the largest: sr.ithaka.org/blog/integra...
