A taser would require extra hardware. How about the battery just overheats in your pocket?

🧑‍🎨🤖 HCI x AI supply chains ⛓️ Join us at our CHI'26 meetup!

If you design AI-powered applications, we can start asking together which parts of the supply chains (e.g., APIs, data pipelines, hardware infra) behind these applications we should account for as HCI practitioners and researchers.

Pittsburgh: show up 10 mins before, say hi to the 5 people in line ahead of you

Austin: I showed up at 3:30AM for a 6AM flight, got through security at 7:30AM

I think my AI beliefs are quickly becoming ‘this has enormous positive potential if implemented responsibly. it will not be implemented responsibly and like maybe five companies are even trying.’

Academic freedom is under dire threat in Texas - we (in Texas) and all (across the US and world) must stand up for this.

As someone who could only afford to go to the in-state flagship cool in my state, the targeting of UT Austin for destruction by the legislature-governor-provost makes me so sad.

Hi Lori, thanks for doing this. In case you want further support for this - I think you'd ben interested in our AAUP report showing how little faculty are involved in such procurement/ university AI policies across the US, and the dangers thereof, may help:

Students feel like they can’t enroll in majors like Af-Am Studies and WGSS because they’re getting messages from all sides that they’re not remunerative. And yet they desperately want the knowledge, so classes are full. That seems to be the situation everywhere.

These are “low enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.

The UNC Board of Governors is rewriting the definition of academic freedom, which threatens to limit critical inquiry and chill speech across campuses.

@ncaaup.bsky.social is fighting back: over 1,300 signed the petition demanding the BOG drop this policy.

Add your signature and share widely!
