The absolute mindnumbing idiocy of humanities professors admitting to the public that their work can be done by an LLM, at a time when facists and neolibs are happily defunding us and declaring our work useless… it‘s not that you‘re just bad at your job you‘re handing them everything they need.
I’m sorry academics - if your book is selling for $50 on amazon, and isn’t on kindle, I’m not buying it, even if I can’t find it anywhere else. And if older than 20 years, put that shit on internet archive. Come on. If you want to be relevant you need to be accessible.

Pretty convinced I get AI written or at least „polished“ student emails by now when they‘re asking me to be their advisor or some other favor. My question is mostly who continues to scare them so much that they‘re afraid to use their own voice?

Vous aimez l'espace (dans toute sa polysémie) ?
Vous aimez la SF ?
Ce CFP est pour vous !
Avec Rosane Lebreton et Lucas Friche, nous avons concocté un dossier ouvert à tous les médias, à une variété d'approches, autour d'une question fondamentale : qu'est-ce qu'un espace science-fictionnel ?
📣 AAC (ReS Futurae) – Espaces et spatialités de science-fiction
🗓️ Envoi des propositions: 30 janvier 2026
📰 ReS Futurae, no 29
💡 Dirigé par : Rosane Lebreton, Florent Favard et Lucas Friche

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
My colleagues and I discussed the possibility for a remote panel, which seems to us a very doable and convenient possibility depending on the logistics and number of proposals. If only we could beam up everyone to Paris, that would be so much easier! So do not hesitate to submit a proposal!
À l'occasion de la parution de son ouvrage "Terry Pratchett et la Mort : mourir en majuscules", Justine Breton a choisi de verser l’intégralité de ses droits d’autrice à la Fondation Alzheimer afin de soutenir la recherche française en la matière, comme le faisait Terry Pratchett.

Notre n°10 est sorti! On y trouve:
- Un dossier sur les K-dramas (dirigé par V. Cicchelli et S. Octobre) .
- "Imaginaires sériels et rap hardcore" de B. Campion
- "The Chair: Tragi-comédie de la crise du sens dans les universités américaines" de D. Schwaeger. classiques-garnier.com/saison-la-re...
Wow ! Une journée avec une belle série médiévaliste des années 1990, d'après le conte d'Italo Calvino ! On fonce profiter d'un dimanche de fête avec La Caverne de la rose d'or sur Twitch !
That's a fair question, I'll check with my colleagues because you probably won't be the only one in that situation. I'd say don't hesitate to submit a proposal reminding us that you would only be able to attend virtually. I'll get back to you asap! 🖖
The CFP is available in both French and English right here on our website : startrekparis2026.wordpress.com/appel-a-comm...
We are excited to welcome her as our #keynote speaker to discuss past, present and future dynamics of the #StarTrek franchise!
All hands on deck, aca-trekkies: the #CFP is open until January 15th, 2026; we welcome papers in French and English (and #Klingon, as long as you bring gagh).
she co-edited the Routledge Handbook to Star Trek (2022, with Leimar Garcia-Siino and Stefan Rabitsch), and Fighting for the Future: Essays on Star Trek: Discovery (Liverpool UP 2020, with Mareike Spychala), and even wrote about the Star Trek Cruise in the Journal of Popular Culture (2020).
A research associate in British and North American History at Kassel University, Dr. Mittermeier focuses on popular culture and transmedia worldmaking, alternating between #Disney - A Cultural History of Disneyland Theme Parks (2021) ; Fan Phenomena: Disney (2022) - and #StarTrek :

#CFP Red Alert!
We are organizing an international #symposium on #StarTrek in September 2026 in Paris, for the 60th anniversary of the franchise. 🖖
We are pleased to announce that Dr. @smittermeier.bsky.social will deliver the keynote address of the symposium!
Dans mon fil Bluesky, juste sous ton post il y avait celui-ci : bsky.app/profile/snep... :D
And last but not least, Sobriety/Sobriété, especially when it comes to the energy cost of image and video generation. But also, political, ethical, economical sobriety.
Prudence (same spelling in French) because of course, we should always check when using an LLM for research. Moreso, we should do the research through other means, and then, if there's still something missing that only a LLM's echo-chamber-brainstorming can bring to the table, use said LLM - *maybe*
