This may mean, “supplementing ‘the humanities’ own methodologicaltoolkits’ with theoretical insights from software, critical code and platform studies”

“style and sentiment” in John Locke’s words (Rose89), meant it could easily be regulated by copyright. Nonetheless, while this purporteddualism has proven to be a lucrative presupposition in the context of print, when itcomes to e-lit, this separation becomes paradoxically impossible because theinformation that builds it is inseparable from its digital materiality

GPT models for conversations with people. At a high level, this involves generating different versions of a response to a given prompt, asking a human which version is preferred, and incorporating these preferences into the model.

This has led to debates about the ethics and legality of collecting and using such data without consent from (or compensation for) those whose words (or lines of code) are used to build and license commercial products

Every time you take a photo with today's cameras a bunch of metadata is gathered and saved with it: date and time, filename, camera settings, geolocation.

Digital humanities has even been the recipient of its own Downfall remix, the Internet meme whereby the climactic scene from the HBO film depicting Hitler’s final days in the bunker is closed captioned with, in this instance, a tirade about the pernicious influence of online scholarship.

I’d say it’s like a community, right?

The fact thatreview assignments were shared openly among the circle of contributors createda sense of peer pressure that made it difficult for reviewers to shirk their duties
