@jbigham Mastodon and BlueSky should kill DMs and integrate with Signal

Our second panel of the day is all about AI and teams. The panel features Susan Campbell, Marine Carpuat, Stephanie Valencia, and Susannah Paletz. To read more about the work on teams and organizations, check out OTTRS: https://ottrs.ischool.umd.edu

@hcil_umd do you know if they discussed whether an AI agent and one person would be considered a team? We are proposing a CSCW panel that touches on that and I'm curious how others think of it

@susannahpaletz @hcil_umd thanks for the link! Very relevant to the workshop proposal we submitted to CSCW. cc @jbigham @merrie @juhokim @msbernst

@bkeegan I’m surprised Domino’s or Pizza Hut haven’t jumped on the marketing opportunity to sell a faux glue pizza 😅

“Black social movements face a dilemma in that the public often perceives nonviolent Black disruptive protest as violent…we find Congress is generally more accepting of nondisruptive protest but nondisruptive protest is only roughly one-tenth as effective for Blacks” https://academic.oup.com/sf/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/sf/soae073/7676333?redirectedFrom=fulltext

@owasow I was listening to an interview with Nicholas Kristoff today. He argued that the Vietnam War protests backfired and resulted in electing Nixon. He's concerned the same could happen with the campus protests. Is there any evidence of this sort of backfiring phenomenon?

In case @andresmh doesn't brag about this 🙈 Andrés received a graduate mentoring award for being the most amazing mentor!!!

I have a running personal theory that no one really pays attention to the Cannes red carpet unless they’re on it. I know it’s all over TikTok and Insta but it rarely feels like a “moment” anymore. It’s been overtaken by the Met Gala.

Opinions?

@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@jquillin as someone as far as you can imagine from fashion (computer science academic), I am definitely slightly more aware of the Met Gala than Cannes!

If you were to filter out posts related to outrage about tech, Trump, and the Middle East, what would be left from your feed?

andresmh,
@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@marcua @jbigham @wollman i need to subcribe to your feeds! 😅

andresmh,
@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@bkeegan haha so true! I should have added that to the list.

I was annoyed that most of my Twitter feed was filled with outrage, and now it's the same with Fediverse 😬

Maybe it's the inevitable path for social media, something like Godwin's law but for platforms.

@bkeegan @bwaber i watch ben’s videos when I'm on the treadmill, which is not that often or that long, but at least i aspire to do 10% of ben’s activity 😀

@nancybaym @bkeegan I realize I come here to distract myself from work and bad news.I like to get fun recommendations for things to watch/listen/read and catch up with you all. Maybe I'm hiding my head in the sand, but I'm ok with it 😁

andresmh,
@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@ nancybaym@aoir.social @bkeegan, that's true! Also, even the outrage is ephemeral. Every week, there's a new story, and people move on quickly to the next one.

Johns Hopkins is doing a long-COVID survey and apparently is having trouble finding controls -- people who haven't had COVID. If this is you, consider giving them some clicks.

Congrats to Nouran Soliman on a fantastic talk on her best paper awarded work on meronimity (mitigating barriers to engaging in public conversations with partial, self-selected, and verified identity signals)! 👏👏 We also deployed a system for it right here in Mastodon at @LiTweeture a while back 😌 Read the paper here: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3613904.3642241 #chi2024

@axz @LiTweeture nice! Btw did you coin the term meronymity? 🤓

The antidote to AI destroying the web is to strengthen human connection and to make those connections a fundamental part of the open web. Quickly.

@mike that's what we're doing in the fediverse ;)

@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@seeingwithsound @mike I personally wouldn’t completely discard LLMs. For example, I think self hosted LLMs could be helpful in curating the federated feed. Similarly, ML recommendation systems could help people find interesting accounts or posts among other things. I think the problem is with deception and lack of control, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

andresmh,
@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@seeingwithsound @mike for sure! I just don't get the completely anti-AI vibe sometimes. Partly because AI doesn't mean anything and means everything at the same time.

@jared what about one of the llamas? 🦙
