Do you also find this anti-critical stance concerning that is on the rise everywhere and even in #DH ? I argue we need to start guesstimating the environmental impacts of #llm workflows. Carbon reporting is not the solution to all our problems but it is a first step. https://latex-ninja.com/2026/04/26/guesstimating-environmental-impacts-of-llm-workflows/

@sarahalang@fedihum.org I didn't bother going to last year's DH conference, and that was in part because I felt from the reviewer comments that the workflow I was hoping to present was either just going to get pointless "why isn't this using LLMs" questions thrown at it all weekend or was going to get no interest: the bandwagon approach to these things is very tiring and I wish we spent more of our time as DH people thinking sharply about what tools do, including to our thinking, and how they do that.

@sarahalang@fedihum.org do you know about the Digital Humanities Climate Coalition? https://digitalhumanities-uk-ie.org/community-interest-groups/digital-humanities-climate-coalition/ I expect they'd be really interested in your paper
