After three days spent with AI researchers from around the world, one thing is very clear to me: we need the humanities and social sciences more than ever.

Peer reviewers donate over $1.5 billion annually in labor. Mostly to 5 multibillion-dollar publishers that have profit margins larger than Google. Today, we have the tech to free research from profiteering

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
