Let me echo the concerns about OUP.

I edited a volume for them that came out this year and the production process was a disaster

Yay!!!!!!!!

[sententiae antiquae @sentantiq]

have been fighting about Homer less because while the Odyssey discourse has been fading, @eltonteb and i finished an introductory book on the Iliad that we finished today (with research help from @beccafrankel)

Here's the TOC

The argument is that a bibliography is supposed to be stuff you've FUCKING READ AND THOUGHT ABOUT.

[sententiae antiquae @sentantiq]

good ideas should be acknowledged.

Google books, plus anthropic's destruction of books, plus genAI's theft of researcher's data and claiming for its own.

AI is grift, theft, and the abuse of the commons. People who care about the future of humanity need to oppose it

[Mr Demos of Pnyx @gem_ste]

The only thing I have to say on the 25th anniversary is what Hunter S Thompson said in the aftermath. There's been few things said more prescient than the party's over. For someone like me who partied like hell in the 90's, 21stC has been very different. The party is still over.

“You think you’re better than me because you don’t use AI?”

Yes.

@bunnycyclops My partner and I once went to a Halloween party dressed as Keanu Reeves and the bus from Speed. I feel like curious George and the man in the yellow hat is totally fair game

[sententiae antiquae @sentantiq]

this is why we need to bring shame culture back: call people out for AI use.

It is an environmental catastrophe.

It is theft of culture and property.

It is transferring wealth and power to a select few.

It is and will cheapen our lives and shorten them,

[John Attridge @John_Attridge]

(Smiling and shaking my head as my argument is torn apart) no my friend. you are not thinking dialectically

[Sentient Caryatid @beccafrankel]

@sentantiq Hot take maybe but I think it’s The Lovecats

[martha 𓊝 @corduroycleric]

Creon in Sophocles’ Antigone

[sententiae antiquae @sentantiq]

"...Nolan’s movie—combined with multiple translations of the poem on international bestseller lists—reaffirms an intimate connection between epic and power, rendering poetry a commodity that assigns meaning to those who possess it."

The Northeast Corridor trains are pretty locked in from DC through NYC and then you get to Connecticut and they become the world’s first Moderate Speed Rail. The Shinkansortof. The Decela

So much fun to be on this podcast with @sentantiq and my good friend Rachele. I love never shutting up about the Odyssey! It is my very favorite past time!!!!!
