Week one in Trumpland: The first step is seeing whatโ€™s in front of our faces We should resist the voices attempting to tell us itโ€™s all fine

Art History and AI: Ten Axioms โ€” DAHJ The promise of AI is great, but so are the ethical and intellectual issues it raises.

While I'm here bitching about AI and its application in the study of art, please check out this article I co-authored with Chris Nygren. It's available open access. We will be revisiting the topic with new thoughts at the College Art Association in Chicago in February.

Old familiar faces are not unique to us. Chimpanzees and bonobos show signs of recognizing ape acquaintances after more than 26 years. Hereโ€™s my story on the deep roots of long-term social memories. ๐Ÿงช Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2023/12/18/s...

As someone who studied climate impacts on species I was always at pains to stress that it was only a problem due to widespread habitat loss that has already occurred.

Species have nowhere to go, because we already turned most of their habitat into farmland ๐Ÿงช
