🎉🎉 I DID A TED TALK! 🎉🎉

Even better, it’s all about #AI and humanity (but also death and grief, if you’re into that). Please like, comment, and SHARE — both because I’m super proud of it, but also because of the algorithm (!) #HCI #computing #technology #faith

A wonderful Ted talk from @dylantdoyle.bsky.social that gets at the intersection of our humanity and gen AI - how we may look for solace and how it might make us uncomfortable www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7b_...

**please share** as an early career academic, I was going to spend the next two years developing AI tools for cancer prediction. Instead, #trump + admin took my job. Regardless of #politics, why follow cruelty at the expense of #innovation? dylantdoyle.medium.com/i-am-an-ai-m... #hci #academia

On one hand: it’s kind of funny that a major Chinese corporation needs a publicity stunt to announce their fealty to an egotistic ‘leader of the free world.’ On the other hand, we’re all kind of screwed, huh?

Hot take, but I am beginning to think all of these Meta decisions are, uh, pretty concerning

“You know, the girl who was in here earlier had gums like raw steaks” - my dentist, right before putting a metal hook in my mouth while describing the death of her father for 15 minutes.

No shade to robust academic research accounts developing principles for responsible tech, but @weratedogs.com is by far my favorite Bluesky account. All the dogs are so good.

I appreciate this perspective! My search has been focused mostly on R1 research-focused. I hadn't thought about the hindrance aspect. Having gone to a liberal arts institution for college (many years ago ha) that actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the correction!

6. Lastly, public policy interest is on the rise. But many departments are actively navigating the role that HCI/CSCW/CS should actually play in public policy. Open question to track going forward.

5. Many colleagues are putting out over 100 applications this year, with the expectation of not hearing back from 95% of them. That is an interesting dynamic (maybe the same as every year? not sure).

4. Senior scholars are INCREDIBLY supportive and have been very willing to serve as mentors in the job search process, when asked.

3. Hiring committees are VERY aware that there is an enrollment cliff coming. It is difficult to read how that is impacting hiring decisions.
