Also, after 50+ years of writing my own surname, I cannot write the word “solo” without reflexively adding a “t” to the end.

No matter how many years I spend working with them, I can never spell “algorithm” correctly on the first try. It is my great professional shame. I blame the word “rhythm” for the confusion.
If you want to meet IOs from New York, Philadelphia, or Chicago, just come outside. We're the ones walking back from lunch with no coats on.

My favorite keepsake from SIOP
so far. I got to meet @iosyislam.bsky.social!
Since I already used a Marvel analogy, I have to use a Star Trek one as well: generative AI is the Borg. Resistance is futile. IO psychology will need to adapt. #SIOP25
In the words of Thanos, “I am inevitable.” We need to recognize that Generative AI isn’t going anywhere, any more than Google or Wikipedia did. #SIOP25
You do an awesome job. And it’s great to see you post on Bluesky, where the environment is much less hostile than Twitter/X.
Can Philadelphia get a better airline than American? I speak for all of us.
WAIT! Before you leave #ATPConf, sign up to volunteer for next year. It’s easy, fun, and you’re helping to keep your industry’s conference running!
Fantastic presentation from Dr. MJ Jabbour at #ATPConf. He made me think of this Penny Arcade comic from 2014. If you limit the use of AI, would you also limit the use of other productivity tools?
How it felt two years ago when ChatGPT 4 was released in the middle of ATP Innovations. #ATPConf
Good morning #ATPConf! Remember to hit that coffee early - because generative AI doesn’t need sleep!
🙂 Just kidding. I, for one, welcome our new synthetic overlords.
Orlando is getting a lot more testy today.
Get it? Testy?
#ATPConf
I had a great conversation just now with Nils Larson, NASA test pilot. He’ll be piloting the first supersonic aircraft designed to turn the sonic boom into a quiet thump - which would make supersonic travel over land possible. Wow! #SXSW
Ok look, I’m old enough to know that this label is on the flip side of the floppy, and both sides are notched to allow writing. Gotta put some tape over them! #SXSW
Today’s session on Why Daylight Savings Time Sucks at 10AM will be held again at 11AM, for everyone who showed up late to the 10AM session, because Daylight Savings Time sucks.
If you need an article to share on the research supporting your TED talk... www.pbs.org/newshour/eco....
Thanks! Now I just need an invite to do a TED Talk.
Daylight Savings Time is terrible for mental and physical health.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Seriously, why do we still do the Daylight Savings Time thing? #SXSW
I’m going to break down quantum computing in simple terms. In Infinity War, Doctor Strange could have examined all 14,000,605 possible futures AT THE SAME TIME. #quantum #avengers #SXSW @iosyislam.bsky.social
Great presentation by Trevor and Alejandro explaining the workings of quantum computers. Instead of calling is superposition, I prefer to think of it as Schrödinger’s Qubits. 😁
Great talk by Cory Doctorow at #SXSW. The big tech companies have pulled the ladder up behind them with regulations the prohibit disruption.
Remember, if you’re afraid I’ve been replaced by an AI, the challenge phrase is “Queen to Queen’s level 3”. The countersign is “Queen to King’s level 1”. #SXSW #StarTrek 🖖
On the way to #SXSW! How am I supposed to choose between The Future of Quantum Computing … and a retrospective with KEVIN BACON?!
Yes I’ll be at the work related one.
I had to share this. Our dog actually ate my son’s homework. That’s his math notebook. We had to email this picture to his teacher because it sounds ridiculous.
Politics aside, I am concerned about the amount of data that Elon Musk is getting access to. His company, xAI, is actively training new AI fronteir models - and for that you need data. Are there safeguards in place to ensure his access isn't being misused?
All I’m saying is that McCoy knew how to do Casual Friday. #StarTrek @division10.bsky.social
We need a new branch of IO Psychology that focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence. Perhaps we should call it I/AI Psychology. An evolution of the Industrial side of IO.
From now until the Super Bowl, it is perfectly appropriate to end any conversation with someone from Philadelphia by yelling GO BIRDS!
