I'm back in the States, can we still get Tylenol here?

We are hiring! The Dept. of Computer Science at Colorado State University will be hiring 1 Tenure Track Assistant Professor in AI to start in fall 2026. Please visit jobs.colostate.edu/postings/166... for details. CSU is an EO employer and conducts background checks on all final candidates.

We are excited to welcome @malihealikhani.bsky.social to ORIGen @ @colmweb.org for her keynote talk "Theory of Mind in Generative Models: From Uncertainty to Shared Meaning"! We look forward to this exciting speaker lineup in Montreal next month! #LLMs #AI #NLP #HCI

@colorado.gov One reason I moved to Colorado is that it's like New Mexico with inferior green chile and better everything else. Your move

Genuinely think that no one is suffering more in the era of AI than guys named Al

Bluesky memory-holed my repost of that @theonion.com Charlie Kirk article. Clearly looking out for me.

We are excited to welcome Bertram F. Malle of Brown University to ORIGen @ @colmweb.org for his invited talk "Could Generative Language Models Have Moral Trustworthiness?" #LLMs #AI #NLP #HCI

We are excited to welcome @andreasvlachos.bsky.social to ORIGen @ @colmweb.org for his invited talk "Toward Constructive Conversations"! #LLMs #AI #NLP #HCI

1.36 year error? I can get you down to the day just by knowing your birthdate, and no DNA. If you give me a few minutes I don't even need a calculator.

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

We are excited to welcome @qveraliao.bsky.social to the ORIGen workshop at @colmweb.org for her invited talk "Facilitating Appropriate Reliance on AI: Lessons from HCI Research"! October 10 at the Palais des Congrès in Montreal!

Colorado's delayed implementation of its AI Act shows how state govts struggle to regulate amid pressures from a "power-hungry federal government and a tech industry that insists that all meaningful regulations are a threat,” D&S’s @serena124.bsky.social‬ writes. www.techpolicy.press/in-delaying-...

Pros And Cons Of Using AI For Schoolwork https://theonion.com/pros-and-cons-of-using-ai-for-schoolwork/

Hereafter answering with "is that a sex thing?" every time anyone asks me about AI #AI #NLP #LLMs

The draft programme and list of accepted papers at ORIGen 2025 @ @colmweb.org is now available! We look forward to an excellent workshop in October! #AI #NLP #LLMs

LLMs aren't as interesting, cool, or mysterious as you think and you should probably be using them less.

What I say: I research how human cognition changes during interactions with AI systems. What I mean: ChatGPT is making the kids stupid and you all know it

If you are at #ACL2025 come check out our poster for "Frictional Agent Alignment Framework" tomorrow at 4 pm! A new take on LLM alignment for deliberation and collaboration—poster currently being used as a blanket for my 4yo daughter who is supposed to be napping but isn't #NLP

Reposting this since a number of people lately said they found it helpful. Good luck on the job market, everyone!

The ORIGen workshop @colmweb.org is accepting late-breaking submissions until July 14!

Normal CV: I have so many publications! 😎 Copying CV into tenure package template: I have so many publications! 😭

Getting out ahead of this story before the NYT gets it: I recently checked both "he/him" and "I don't use pronouns" on my #ACL2025 registration

The word for "fairy" in Swedish is just "elf" which makes this episode of Bluey a lot more dramatic

It me

There are still a few hours left!!!!

We extended the deadline so submissions to ORIGen at @colmweb.org are still due in one week! Submit by June 27! See you in 🇨🇦 #AI #NLP #LLMs

Submissions are due to the ORIGen workshop at @colmweb.org in one week! #AI #NLP #HCI

LLMs are all around us, but how can we foster reliable and accountable interactions with them?? To discuss these problems, we will host the first ORIGen workshop at @colmweb.org! Submissions welcome from NLP, HCI, CogSci, and anything human-centered, due June 20 :) origen-workshop.github.io

Your #AI system should be slower. Our paper "Frictional Agent Alignment Framework" will appear at #ACL2025 in Vienna this summer, but you can preview it on arXiv!

Dare I say @colmweb.org is *overrelying* on generative language models for their art style? (See workshop list)

The full list of COLM 2025 workshops is now online: colmweb.org/Workshops.html Most deadlines are June 23, but check the specific CFP of each workshop for the details

I am "experts"

I'd forgotten how much of the Midwest is just "small, dense cities with impossible parking" surrounded by "unwalkable suburban hell."

New content for my information theory lecture

Dog in room on fire meme

Yeah, there's a new pope but did you know there's also a new #NLP workshop at @colmweb.org? The First Workshop on Optimal Reliance and Accountability in Interactions with Generative LMs (ORIGen) will be held October 10 at the Palais des Congrès in Montreal!

Wild how I can now tell my daughter that the politician we don't like is trying to take her toys away and have it not be false

There is still no way of ensuring that AI chatbots produce accurate information, and powerful new technologies are generating more errors, not fewer: “As their math skills have notably improved, their handle on facts has gotten shakier. It is not entirely clear why.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/t...

Tech billionaires should be turned into robots. Incidentally "robot" is Old Slavic for "serf"

Our government has a genius plan to advance #AI literacy while shadow banning research on disinformation

If #CoryBooker needs a break I can talk for 70 minutes about how random forests are more democratic than decision trees

Trying to wug test my 3-year-old to figure out if the plural of Mickey Mouse" is "Mickey Mouses" or "Mickey Mice"

Of the skills I'm most proud of, being able to cut two pages off a conference paper or grant proposal submission in less than an hour the night of the deadline has to be up there

Can my tenure case include that media has misidentified me as an Associate Professor enough that I deserve to be one?

All this episode has taught us is that AI triumphalists don't read (and I don't mean research papers—most technical AI research papers are terribly written).

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

“Universities must avoid the trap of “we’ll sacrifice humanities if you leave us the hard sciences”. Humanities (and social sciences) are, after all, disciplines.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We published 30 pages on how people say the same thing differently and that's hard for computers #AI #NLProc

Is there a name for the phenomenon where American kids who grow up on Bluey say random words with an Aussie accent?
