The role that national research funders and university administrations play in incentivising academics to seek corporate investment is sometimes missed in discussions of corporate capture of AI. My #AoIR2024 paper explored this - and the extended abstract is now up at: doi.org/10.5210/spir....
Check out @katemiltner.bsky.social’s excellent new piece on discourses around visual generative AI — as presented at #AoIR2024 and part of a fantastic Unstable Diffusions special issue of @jdsr.bsky.social!
I absolutely loved @reedvanschenck.bsky.social 's presentation at #AoIR2024 about collective harassment by trolls and the role of fringe platforms in hosting and facilitating collective harassment, blurring the divide between online and offline.
👋 New blog post just dropped - I reflect on the incredible time I had in Sheffield for #AoIR2024, organising my first conference panel, and sharing findings from my PhD research in a paper titled "Virtual Influencer Marketing & the Halo of Innovation". 💫

With both #AoIR2024 and #CSCW2024 in the past few weeks, I’m glad to finally have the chance to take a little break (see: pretending my pending work doesn’t exist for at least one more day)
Got back home from Newcastle and my copy of @adriennemassanari.bsky.social’s book finally arrived! Her presentation covering gaming logic, El*n and the alt-right was incredible at #AoIR2024. Another one for my work pile, can’t wait to dig in!

A great findings from #AoIR2024
I 'revealed' this at the #AoIR2024 AGM meeting, but soon I'll join Media Studies and PPGCOM at Universidade Federal Fluminense as an Adjunct Professor. My new job is why we move #Aoir2025 to Rio. The other parts are that Rio ll be amazing 💜and the new org team is way better.

In the rush to get the last bus of the night I didn’t get to say goodbye to nearly enough #AoIR2024 friends – so from my brief change of planes in Dubai, thank you and safe travels all, and see you again in Rio ! 🫶

Back from #AoIR2024, what a wonderful conference! Lovely to see so many old friends and meet so many new people doing fascinating work. And the bumper cars at the party last night were a definite hit! (No pun intended)

I wasn't sure if I could make it to #AoIR2024 because so much was going on in life during submission time. If it weren't for @ysabel.bsky.social's warm invitation, I would have missed this brilliant opportunity. Not only is she a fantastic chair, she was also co-organising the whole conference &...
A final #AoIR2024 message from me: THANK YOU for visiting our city, THANK YOU for sharing your inspiring internet research, and, most importantly, THANK YOU for assuring us we made the right call in booking the bumper cars 😂
Please travel home safely 🫶🏼
Chairing "Play & Youth Cultures" at #AoIR2024 was a pleasure!

I feel so incredibly grateful for my time at #aoir2024. Friendly, fun and fascinating. Would recommend all PhD students yes to volunteer opportunities at conferences. Would recommend all part-time PhD students find a way to get away from work and be immersed in research conferences

Thank you #AOIR2024 for another amazing conference, meeting old friends & new ones & getting to listen to such brilliant research that my brain hurts 😁 thank you to the Sheffield organisers esp @ysabel.bsky.social, @ubiquity75.bsky.social & Nick that made sure everything is running smoothly 💜💃👏
I’m going to need a lot of recovery time after #aoir2024.

One more event to oversee - the best one, IMO - and then that’s it 🥹 #AoIR2024
My colleague and I have just realised we have two different bus ticket times for the #AoIR2024 do tonight, I don't suppose anyone wants to swap? Either way around is fine
Goodbye, #AoIR2024! I learned so much, met so many amazing people, and feel really invigorated to do research. Till next time :)
