Digital humanities is about to be wild.

I pasted in the Catalog of Ships from the Iliad, and asked GPT with Code Interpreter to map the origins of the Greeks. With hiccups, it extracted solid information from the text, found modern locations & started building an interactive map

@profspeculation @mayee_wong It's not the critic @profspeculation that counts as much as the change agent. May be a more tangible effort than ivory publications w/ elite gatherings ignoring local harms. We actually DO need efforts beyond one's own bubble. Fail better+ encourage difference until PROVEN guilty

[MacKenzie Abernethy @RedBirdWitWords]

Start-ups move fast, because WE MUST CHANGE. Let's balance the theory and critique with action and doing better overtime. Anyways, activism is almost always punished and almost never rewarded. That's not to say it's not valuable yet may be time to revisit how we define the word.
