LRT: it’s true, I’m hiring PhD student(s) to fire up the Labour Lab at @UofTInfoFaculty. We’re going to study how new tech and data tools reconfigure the workplace and think about how data tools and forms of tech expertise work to support the labour movement! Shoot me email/dm 👋

there is this scene in the new Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader docuseries where the producer observes "It must be hard having this thing that's your dream also be..." and the cheerleader responds "...the thing that hurts me? Yeah." And I felt it right in my R1 tenure-track heart.

sorry to be a spoiler but there is no way around a genuinely socially responsible AI without directly tackling systemic inequalities and building accountability mechanisms on the current concentration of power in the hands of big corps/AI companies

Maryam is one of the amazing student journalists at The Daily Texan who have been physically harmed by the militarized police presence on our campus. Our college must protect the students who are putting the skills they've learned into action with bravery & integrity.

In the last week I’ve been pepper sprayed; I’ve had flashbangs knock out my eardrums; I’ve seen protesters beaten, choked and arrested (footage from Monday’s protest 4/29 ⬇️ TW: violence). It’s been a hell of a week.

Why are we so excited about Large Language Models?
I, for one, would be more excited about Small Laundry-Folding Models or even Medium Dish-Washing Models.
Give me a Foundation Model for chores and I'll give you *all* my money.

@jean__hardy @annejonas I’ve been laughing about this for five minutes. Both the participant’s comment and Anne’s totally sincere moderator response. This is the magic of qualitative research 😂

The Texas Tribune interviewed @SamShorey (@UTexasMoody) on the risks of automating government work and empowering AI technologies to make more decisions.
“It might move us towards the end goal more quickly. But is it moving us towards an end goal that we want?”
Texas Tribune@TexasTribune
More than a third of state agencies are using AI. Amid fears that the technology could heighten bias or affect privacy, Texas is forming an advisory committee to recommend how the technology is deployed. bit.ly/41Ix83O

"Rather than treating automation as an inevitable force that workers must adapt to, we need to recognize it as a social process that can and should be shaped by those it affects most—workers themselves."
New Tech Labor forum piece from @dcalacci, out now in interactions !
dana calacci 🦋 @dana.witchy.business@dcalacci
automation keeps getting billed as an unstoppable force, but this is SO FAR from the reality. in a new piece in @interactionsMag , I argue that workers—and researcher+advocate allies—can & should collectively help direct automation at work: interactions.acm.org/archive/view/n…
