I'm so excited to share our paper for #chi2025:

"Copying style, Extracting value: Illustrators' Perception of AI Style Transfer and its Impact on Creative Labor"

As an anthropologist, I'm delighted to be able to contribute to interdisciplinary conversations on AI and art!

As a general rule, I would say that most things we are being told to believe are technology issues are actually civics issues. 5/5

I joined a private workshop this morning with ~17 AI notetakers (out of 45 participants). 🀯 There feels like an uptick adoption in recent months but few options to balance interests and respect individual preferences.

For my 1st earnest skeet, s/o to political scientist Debra Thompson's The Schematic State: Race, Transnationalism, & the Politics of the Census (Cambridge, 2016). Forever awestruck by how successfully she compares/contrasts Canada, UK, & US *within* each chapter. Top-tier academic book. Mashallah.

Hi! Still getting settled in. Similar to migration to Mastodon, have been using a tool (Chrome extension), Sky Follower Bridge, to find people I follow / followers.
