My new book Undertale: Can a Game Give Hope? is out today from the @uchicagopress.bsky.social Replay series, which is dedicated to short, personal takes on games. I hope it invites readers to visit (or revisit) the Underground and befriend some fabulous monsters. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

First day of our fall contracts. I get tired of thinking this is going to be the worst year of my career in higher education, but here we are again. Seemed like a good night for a theme park.

Built the next two weeks in my Humanities AI class using Claude artifacts as an entry into distant coding and AI integration into all interfaces - we'll be building two flavors of recommendation systems, with and without AI. anastasiasalter.net/HumanitiesAI... + anastasiasalter.net/HumanitiesAI...

This leads right into my week eight assignment, looking at how AI images have become inescapable on most platforms and make it difficult to find "real" objects. Yes, this is partially about my annoyance with AI-generated embroidery. #dhmakes

Building out the generative video week for my Humanities in the Age of AI class, and I needed to update my samples to discuss changing capabilities so I gave Veo 3 a try. This one uses a Wikimedia image of our campus as the source material. anastasiasalter.net/HumanitiesAI...

Taking lots of inspiration from #elo25 as I rebuild my Humanities in the Age of AI grad course for this fall. I updated week two to take advantage of Claude's easy artifact sharing and bring students into playing with text and code together: anastasiasalter.net/HumanitiesAI... #dhmakes

Actually updated my website for the first time in, um, a while. Finally added links to all my public teaching materials for courses in GenAI, digital humanities, electronic literature, games, comics and such - plus, the book list is actually current 😂 anastasiasalter.net

Starting to build the 2025 version of my Humanities in the Age of AI course, and realizing I'm going to make dramatic changes to basically every assignment. I'm excited to add The AI Con to the text list this round. Draft syllabus is up here: anastasiasalter.net/HumanitiesAI/

I'll be hanging out in WorkAdventure at #ACH2025 for an Experimental DH creative works session kicking off in a few minutes. We'll be playing around with AI Admin 2.0: DH Edition, a generated, playable commentary on the challenges of mixing #DHMakes with GenAI: anastasiasalter.net/ACH_AI_Admin/

Excited to share the print version of my collaboration with @ekj.bsky.social, Critical Making in the Age of AI! It's also free to read online from Amherst College Press, but the paperback version has color pictures (including awesome work from our students) for $25 😄 www.fulcrum.org/concern/mono...

Spent the morning in the garden before heading to the airport for #dhsi. Lots of tomatoes ripening, so we tried blanching and freezing them for the first time.
