Tis’ the season (for AI slop assignment submissions)
You know what, next semester the online survey class is getting oral exams via Zoom. I hate not actually talking with my students! Yeah, it’s going to take a lot of time on my part, but I think the payoff will be worth it.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Absurd question but....What are some key books for understanding the history of England/Great Britain c. 1820-1914?
I'm less interested in books about the British Empire...more keen on the social history of British life in this period.

Thinkin' we should pitch
How you gonna throw a shutout
If all you do is bitch?”

A good way to connect with other scholars is to check out the Panel Connections spreadsheet. Anyone who has already added themselves to the MHA 2026 Panel Connections spreadsheet is encouraged to check back to see who else shares their interests and if they can network to form a session. END

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever
