This exercise strikes me as one of ”depends who/where you ask“ in regards to the output. So these are law students. Running this poll on an Arts and Humanties faculty, for instance, would likely produce VERY different results. 🙃

OTOH: since OpenAI prompting mathematicians to very publicly ask “what is the point?” that silly cliche that “math dudes hate humanties” (&, the connected, more appalling & also dangerous: “studying humanities is pointless & shouldn’t be funded”) is becoming more comically unsustainable by the day?
‘Immature playground boasting’: Mathematicians uneasy at OpenAI’s latest scalp www.theguardian.com/science/2026... maybe, until math is proven, verified & cognizable by humans, it should be considered “artificial math,” & viewed as a work in progress until human verification is complete?

It had active political enemies in the natural sciences. Sokal used poststructuralism to attack humanties (and too many accepted his work w/o considering how easy it is to publish with fake data in science, too).
The pushback cleaved STEM from humanities and limited academic solidarity.

Personally I think a big step in research around ai that needs to happen is more omboarding of digital humanties individuals, sociologists and anthropologists not to study its policy but instead to observe its patterns of behavior as they contrast with other living social organism

Clear, cogent, compelling & inspirational no wonder so many of us wanted Andy as leader & why he was unopposed. This Cambridge grad in humanties is able to relate to our history, our politics & crucially our high rate of inequality amplified by London's dominance. We wish him well!

3/ attainers are, as you know, disadvantaged pupils. If they are forced (sorry encouraged) into less academic paths then we have a system where the haves follow a broad and balanced curriculum of their chosing and the have-nots do not. This has the opposite impact. As a humanties specialist, I hate

This year's Digital Humanties interns have helped to make our Special Collections much more accessible - a big thank you! 🙏
This Year's DH interns worked on an incredible variety of projects and materials. This included glass negatives, VHS tapes, theatre playbills, the Valor Ecclesiasticus, audiobook production, GIS aerial mapping, postcards, items from @bdcmuseum.bsky.social, and posters from the DAME project.

i am the lisan al gaib of STEM vs humanties discourse as i have advanced degrees in both (also perhaps relatedly my career is in the toilet)

That is fair. I just have a habitual response because though I also see this too often used not to truely emphasize the benefit of the humanties themselves but basically just keep up both tradiationalism and two culture views themselves

So that isnt really representative of the issue. In fact often it runs the exact opposite direction. Dissatisfaction with the humanties(and stem) can come from understanding both the humanties and science despite enjoying both

Most stem degrees still have a liberal arts requirement and most of the tech people that people dislike ironically come from humanties backgrounds.
