A major danger of LLMs is that humans are SO predisposed to attribute knowledge to any entity that uses natural language fluently. We cannot imagine that a machine that outputs natural-seeming speech/text doesn't have cognition. Brilliantly articulated by @emilymbender.bsky.social et al. (2021).

ABSTRACT:
Art was, and continues to be, an active agent in societies. The first traces of artistic behaviour can be glimpsed in etched patterns produced nearly 100,000 years ago, and flourished into the rich, material culture visible in a wide array of both prehistoric and historic societies. It has the relational power to build new connections between individuals, generate cultural identities, or exert political or religious authority over a population. There have been significant efforts in recent years to shift away from โgrand theoriesโ of art โ whether typological or narrative in nature โ to instead appreciate the dialogical, multisensorial, and distributed engagements of art making and reception. Yet there remains a central challenge. In the fragmentary archaeological evidence of past artistic actions, how can we visualise individual artisans?
In this session, we intend to bring together a diverse range of perspectives that examine art from a range of spatial and temporal contexts to identify the actions of individual artists in the past. We particularly encourage submissions that have developed new theoretical and high-resolution methodological approaches to address this challenge. Our session will not be limited in period or object type โ the organisers themselves specialise in Palaeolithic art (IW) and Viking Age art (DP), but share a common theoretical thread in their conceptions of art.
Themes could therefore include, but are not limited to:
Material engagements in artistic practices
Art and agency perspectives
Craft networks and the role of the artisan
High-resolution digital modelling
Archaeometric approaches to art
How can we visualise the agency of art and artists in past societies? Mine and @dparrott.bsky.social's session at @tag2025york.bsky.social intends to bring together exciting new research to explore this question! Interested? Why not submit an abstract!โ ๐จ๐๏ธ๐บ

Important thread from Adam here. Public space - especially in towns and cities - isn't just there for the fast, efficient movement of motor vehicles and we mustn't let that motonormative thinking enable another generational landgrab as automated driving slides in

I think people underestimate how quickly a city can change from a place where cycling feels too dangerous, to a place where it feels safe enough.

The Courier's business editor Rob McLaren reacts to the devastating jobs news.
The impact of an actual university failure on a city like Dundee would be catastrophic. One in seven of the termtime population is a student. The uni job losses in this round alone are already on a scale similar to when the Michelin factory in 2020. www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/business-...

women cycling
The gender gap in cycling isnโt about preference - itโs about safety, infrastructure, and a country that has somehow managed to make the act of riding a bike on many roads feel as appealing as volunteering as a human traffic cone on the M25.
