Sonja Drimmer on generative AI Sonja Drimmer on the empty rhetoric used to promote generative AI as an art-historical research tool for this episode of “Under the Cover."

For the April episode of “Under the Cover,” Artforum Editor in Chief @tinariversryan.bsky.social interviews @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social about how a medievalist became interested in AI, the role of AI in the divestment from public and higher education, and more. www.artforum.com/video/sonja-...

Highly recommend this convo on Artificial Intelligence between two brilliant art historians.

Art History has much to say about how AI sees. @tinariversryan.bsky.social draws out key points from @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social's article "Machine Yearning...". Sonja Drimmer = always insightful and fun.

Gustave Doré and Hélidore Pisan’s Newgate—Exercise Yard, 1872 Sarah C. Schaefer argues that today’s viral images of prisoners like Luigi Mangione draw on a 19th-century precedent established by Gustave Doré.

Humbled to have been able to write on Doré's image of Victorian incarceration and its reverberations (van Gogh, Kubrick, Mangione) for this month's Artforum.

Measles has a 12% mortality rate in unvaccinated young children.

Children cannot be vaccinated until they are at least 12 months old.

And if infants need to be kept home and out of daycare to avoid potentially fatal measles outbreaks...

Guess who that removes from the workforce.

The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

I’m so grateful for progress. Imagine being a peasant in the ancient dark ages who had to work from dawn till dusk just to eke out a bare living while being subjected to the whims of inbred aristocrats and you died of totally preventable illnesses.

Just to say it: Diversity is a good thing. Equity is a good thing. Inclusion is a good thing. Accessibility is a good thing.

As always, learning from Kate Crawford: I can’t believe I’d never heard of Jevon’s Paradox.
