thanks @peterpur, worth watching the whole thing, although its a little tech-bro, AI doomerism and anothropomorphising (that’s me saying its not engaging with some fundamental philosophical questions about what it means to being in world...) but: really well made argument and rather shocking in places (the prospect of visualising dreams from fMRI ...)

Ab heute im offiziellen Vollbetrieb: Wir setzen als Kommunikationsteam weiter verstärkt auf unsere Präsenz hier auf Mastodon. Mit der Etablierung einer eigenen Instanz wollen wir einen Beitrag zur positiven Entwicklung des #Fediverse leisten.
Unser Engagement auf der Plattform X schränken wir damit (noch) weiter ein.

Organisationseinheiten der Uni Innsbruck sind eingeladen, die Instanz social.uibk.ac.at zu nutzen!

Excited to be part of this PhD course on HCI theory, organised by Kasper Horbæk, Olga Iarygina and @torsalve in Copenhagen. Other guests include @professorBodker and Eduardo Velloso. See here https://www.theoryinhci.org for details and registration.

Through examples, we trace responsibilities across time from milieus of innovation, to design practices and in use. We discuss how "doing responsibilities" may serve the prime purposes of our moral practices and sketch methodological, theoretical, and designerly consequences

We start by reviewing the philosophical origins of responsibility and discuss views in #HCI. Rethinking these, we develop a notion of responsibility as “being done” rather than being had: enacted in assemblages, rooted in relations rather than entities, and temporally dispersed

Against the backdrop of the increasing agential capabilities of digital tech, we argue for relational ontologies to understand how they become actively interwoven in what happens in the world. But what, then, can responsibility mean?

New Article! @vfuchsberg and I wrote about what happens to the notion of responsibility in tech when applying a posthuman, relational and performative lens: Doing Responsibilities in Entangled Worlds
https://doi.org/10.1080/07370024.2023.2269934 ... curious?

@alextaylor oh, I didn’t know - congratulations!

Attending a conference called #convergence2023 at the @oeaw in Vienna with many interdisciplinary talks on the interface between the digital and the living... a lot of talk about the cyborg and I wonder how much trans-humanism and AI-hype there will be. Anyway, I will inject a dose of #posthumanism in a short talk tomorrow...

Yes! Finally managed to submit a revised manuscript for #TOCHI that has been really hard work and took the whole summer. The reviews were excellent, though, and in the best sense created a space for scientific discourse. Fingers crossed...

@forster - congratulations and well done!

Indeed, we really witness how language and metaphors shape realities to be imagined, researched and built. Case in point, this editorial introducing the new Elsevier journal: Computers in Human Behavior: Artificial Humans

#CHI2023 is upon us, some expectation management: while #FOMO is the natural emotional state at such a conference, be reminded, if you see 3 papers that inspire you and have 3 encounters that result in a meaningful conversation that makes you think - you are doing very well!

All is good then! “GPT-4 is 82% less likely than GPT-3.5 to respond to requests for content that OpenAI does not allow, and 60% less likely to make stuff up.” https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/03/14/1069823/gpt-4-is-bigger-and-better-chatgpt-openai

we are looking for a technician with specialization in macOS + linux (almost no windows here). 20h/week, very nice people to work with. https://jobs.tuwien.ac.at/Job/204372

#WisdomOfTheCrowd I am looking for studies (#STS, I assume) that look at the influence of the milieu (social, economic, policy, public narratives...) on digital technology that is created? #innovation Thank you!

Three days away from the daily routines has proven incredibly conductive for creative thinking about our research. We are back from our DC Winter School with our #HCI PhDs at the Hackel Hütte
