Might finish up setting my mastodon account later so this can be my first post. In the meantime, I'll ironically set this down over here. thestar.com/opinion/contri…

#ICA24 CAT business meeting!

@sunjooahn @CommFox @nuernbergk Well...now tomorrow but not today!

@CommFox @nuernbergk @McEwanInComm Tomorrow, definitely tomorrow 🛥️

Already a perfect start #ica24 🐳 send their greetings

@anneohirsch Depends on sample size

Are you interested in AI-driven virtual agents and how to use #AI to build social #VR worlds for business, education, and health? I'm proposing a panel w/ @McEwanInComm @xrprof @blairmacintyre Vote for our panel @sxsw! SXSW PanelPicker® shar.es/afNmeW

@benz145 I thought the same of all the headlines about Meta's AI investments replacing VR when AI (particularly LLMs and generative imagery) will drive new VR experiences.

To say “VR is dead; being replace by AR” shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the technology—or more likely, willful ignorance for the sake of a spicy headline.

🚨 Today is the **last day** to apply for the Post-API conference, happening on Oct 22, 2023 in Philly (following #AOIR2023, @AoIR_org )!!! CfP: docs.google.com/document/u/3/d…

@dougaparry Yes! There are plans to create a resource wiki that can be shared afterwards. Other ideas for continuation channels are forming and input is welcomed.

RT'ing for exposure for the Post-API conference I can't attend but, with all the SM API changes, sharing of workflows & ideas is needed. I know that the format of this event doesn't lend itself to virtual participation but perhaps these conversations can also continue online?

Post-API Post Conference (@AoIR_org) submission deadline is coming up. It is a submission to participate in the moderated discussion sessions with an option to propose a lightening talk. Co-organized w/ @JosephineLukito @dfreelon @jmping CFP here: docs.google.com/document/u/3/d…

So.....anyone have a bluesky invite?

@CJFerguson1111 @m_scheeringa @JonHaidt Sigh

1/6. Those who claim there is a mental health crisis of teens from social media will have to reckon w/ this study: Claims to be FIRST study to use psych interviews. Plus, teens followed over years AND they parsed 2 types of social media usage. @JonHaidt sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We just published this special section of @IJoC_USC on worker resistance in digital capitalism. Edited with @notmichellephan and @woshihama, with 6 great articles on worker struggles across the globe ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc. Open access!

You might also catch me on NewsTalk 1010 Toronto just before 11 today.

Trying to cut through the hype versus reality in the this @CBCNews explainer with @NatStechyson. cbc.ca/news/business/…

Had a chance to sit down with @CP24 and discuss Apple's new headset. (Interview in video at link).

@anneohirsch It's so hazy here the skyline is completely obscured.

"We've gotten really far; it's just--there's a ways to go!" The @iccit's @McEwanInComm spoke to @GlobalNational about Apple's new AR headset technology. @UTM @UofT @researchuoft @UofTDSI globalnews.ca/video/9748290/…

Happy #PrideMonth, @UTM!!!! May we see, hear, cherish, support, and keep each other safe and thriving all year long. “Everywhere we learn that love is important ... We still hope that love will prevail. We still believe in love’s promise.” (bell hooks, 1999, _All About Love_)

@anneohirsch Oh wait @profknowak has a slew of PICOs. You just need her to get home from Italy.

@anneohirsch Send me an email or we can do a zoom. This is what I do - so I can give you the ins and outs of systems we've tried.
