Picard management tip: Don't waste time using social media. Pretend it was never invented.

Call for submissions on environmentally sustainable AI: workshop at @chi.acm.org 2026: HCI-TERRA. What do we do in HCI to make AI better for the environment? Submit your research, art, position paper, design ideas here: hci-terra.github.io

This has been a super helpful guide by @emilymbender.bsky.social, Peter Zuckerman and @nannainie.bsky.social as I'm editing my thesis. Highly recommend.

I low key wish this would be a plug-in that would underline the red flaggy turns of phrases as I'm writing. 😮‍💨

We actually discussed a browser plugin for a while which would send an amount of ants (because ANThropomorphization) of a crawling over one’s screen depending on the level of anthropomorphizing language present 😅

We Need to Talk About How We Talk About 'AI' | TechPolicy.Press We share a responsibility to create and use empowering metaphors rather than misleading language, write Emily M. Bender and Nanna Inie.

"Anthropomorphizing language...portrays a world view in which the people responsible for developing the systems are not held accountable for the system’s inaccurate, inappropriate, and sometimes deadly output,” write @emilymbender.bsky.social and @nannainie.bsky.social.

Anthropomorphizing language conceals the limitations of AI, promoting misplaced trust. @emilymbender.bsky.social & @nannainie.bsky.social suggest focusing on a system’s functionalities: instead of saying a model is “good at” something, say what it is “good for." www.techpolicy.press/we-need-to-t...

"The media has largely let [tech companies] set the terms of the debate, right down to the terminology used in any discussion of these systems."

I need to hear this gutteral scream and possibly make it my LinkedIn notification sound for every time an AI bro comments on one of my posts with “but …”

“What’s your google doc style?” “Active aggression”

Have you considered trying just an aggressive way? Passive is overrated

It IS mandatory reading in any HCI-related anything. That’s why HCI people know what’s good!

I'm also kind of sad about recent improvements in work/life balance - I miss my crying-into-the-screen-at-3AM-around-mid-September community!!

I am going through the #CHI2026 bidding for papers to review and will slam that desk-accept button so hard for any paper not about AI or LLMs

Jeg har i dag besøgt Twitter for første gang i mange mange måneder i dag fordi jeg simpelthen ikke kunne modstå det seneste afsnit i dét reality show 😆

😂

@leonderczynski.bsky.social

I would pay good money to read those

We'll finally find out how much rage is pent-up in all the machine learning researchers collectively LET HE FURY FLOW!!!!!

Lol I came here because Overleaf is down and I'm like "now finally there'll some good content on The Social Media"

Looking forward to Travis Kelce's girlfriend's married-with-children era when she'll musically address the salient questions in later life such as "Is it chill that I need 2-factor-fucking-authentification for accessing John's Excel sheet?" and "Mommy, why is it ok that cars are faster than cars?"

Did you know that the ideation tools that most creative professionals have in common are the simplest ones: pen & paper, phone notes, and the phone camera?

Idea management across creative domains - a rare large-scale comparative analysis!

I feel like that contest doesn’t even need to be carried out for someone to award the Finns

There’s a massive camera in the back of the room so there must be a link somewhere! By god I hope this was recorded because the Trust slide nearly killed me but I was incapacitated by the previous slide so didn’t take a picture

These slides AND a free lunch !

Me explaining the rationality of my vibe code:

Every head of department explaining his justification for why he hasn’t hired more women:
#CHI2025

Hahahaha why change something that is already perfect?? 🤣

Me explaining to reviewers why 13 users was definitely enough:
