✨️ Cover reveal ✨️ Our book, Communication in Crisis, is coming soon! ​We are totally in love with the illustration (would you just look at the little seals!) ​If you’re lucky, you might spot us at Trivent's booth at the #IMC2026 this year. Come say hi if you do!

Would love to see more attention given to this! Feels like AI use is far too often attributed to laziness and poor personal morals etc., rather than precarious work, work overload and constant pressure. This said, "work more, work faster, compromise on quality" is a terrible solution.

There is something in here for everyone: Marxists, logistics obsessives, obsolete-software enthusiasts, and those are all the kinds of people I know about. yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

Ledig stilling ved UiO som forsker innen generativ KI, desinformasjon og demokrati, knyttet til forskningsprosjektet NxtGenFake. Veldig viktig oppdrag med dette prosjektet her, siden generativ KI gjør det så lett å raskt spre desinformasjon, noe som kommer til å påvirker valgprosesser. Frist 15.08.

People don't long for "inconvenience." They long for permanence. And though streaming services may be convenient, people are waking up to the fact that we are paying rent-seeking middle men month after month for things we will never actually own.

Finally holding a hardcopy of 'Media Change' feels great. Many thanks to @nallen2.bsky.social & the team at Wiley who superbly supported the book from proposal to publication. You can order the book at your favorite online bookstore & directly from the publisher, here: tinyurl.com/eyznb67j

"The AI Resist List", by Karen Hao, Better Images of AI, Distributed AI Research Institute, and others, collects the works of those developing radical alternatives to current "Big Tech" AI paradigms: centring community, human agency, local contexts, and Earthly flourishing. airesistlist.org

And here is the key point, that historical portraiture *is not photography* and applying facial recognition tech designed for photography to historical portraiture is a deeply flawed methodological choice (even leaving aside the ethical problems and inherent flaws/biases in the surveillance tech).

As Sonja and others have admirably shown, that just isn’t how royal portraits work — at all. Portraits aren't Polaroids. They're complex pieces of public messaging that reflect dynastic priorities & shifting alliances more than familial affinity. Let’s consider the portraiture of Elizabeth I. /2

It's not 1536, but Anne Boleyn has taken over the news. Recently a team of computer scientists, electrical engineers and a historical novelist think they have discovered the “true face” of Anne (& her mother) by applying AI-based computational facial recognition to Holbein sketches. The catch? /1

In a historic moment, I was interviewed by fellow Black woman particle physicist Dr. Katrina Miller. Few people can understand my journey the way she does. We talked about my new book, why poetry matters, and yes, how the *fact* of non-trinary neutrinos challenges anti-trans rhetoric. #GiftLink

The Canvas breakdown this week has once more shown how dependent universities are on "Big Edtech" firms.

Can we abolish EdTech already

Thank you to those of you who've posted beautiful landscape/coastline photos this morning, because it's a wonderful antidote to the EdTech product placement I walked by on my way to work 🫠. (In Realfagbygget at NTNU, where Læringsfestivalen is currently taking place.)

Glad to see so many people calling out the fact that boots that only last two years aren't great boots. My 9-year-old Red Wings and 3-year-old Blundstones are still going very strong (though it's time to re-sole the Red Wings).

Schibsted innfører nå dessverre en ny modell for å skaffe "samtykke" til å kunne dele personopplysninger med markedsføringsselskap (kjent som adtech). Dersom alle det, så vil kostnadene for personvern og privatliv på nett bli tusenvis av kroner i måneden. 😨 1/ www.abcnyheter.no/nyheter/schi...

This is a key point that our head librarian pointed out to me. Flat or declining library budgets combined with rising ebook costs mean that increasingly the work of curating the collection is managed by outside vendors w no sense of specific institutional needs or attendance to concerns about AI.
