From extremely local celebrities to the personal lives of megastars, Wikipedia covers it all... Listen for more: pod.fo/e/40fb81 @elaineburke.bsky.social @earley.bsky.social @wikimediaireland.bsky.social

I am very, very proud of this. But @earley.bsky.social being a reference for chicken fillet rolls is a level of Irish knowledge authority I can only dream of.

Have you heard our latest episode? It's all about Wikipedia, with special guest Amy O'Riordan from @wikimediaireland.bsky.social. You can find out more about the community and their events at Wikimedia.ie. Listen here: pod.fo/e/40fb81

I had my big rant about the government's *bad* AI literacy project last week, but not all AI education is bad and Laura's team are doing great work that no only gives us a better-informed public but also better-informed researchers who listen to the real-life experiences of tech's impact.

Finally catching up with this and I can't imagine much has changed for the people of Gaza regarding their digital rights and surveillance. This is well worth a listen.

WCI Community Manager Amy O'Riordan was on the For Tech's Sake podcast @fortechssakepod.bsky.social this week talking about how #Wikipedia is edited, how it handles AI and vandalism, and the volunteers who keep it running. Éist anseo / Listen here: podfollow.com/for-techs-sake/view

We don't just roast *bad* AI literacy programmes on For Tech's Sake, we also highlight good work in this area, such as the @adaptcentre.bsky.social's co-designed literacy programmes like #DiscussAI and Age-Friendly AI, which we discussed with Laura Grehan on our latest episode: pod.fo/e/40adfc

Poured my frustrations about AI Ready into a piece in @thejournal.ie. (It's a @fortechssakepod.bsky.social takeover this week between me and @earley.bsky.social!) www.thejournal.ie/readme/artif...

Listen to our latest for our thoughts on Ireland's AI Ready training, and for a walkthrough with a very special guest: @elaineburke.bsky.social's mam! We also spoke to Laura Grehan from #DiscussAI to learn about AI literacy done well. Enjoy! pod.fo/e/40adfc

There's a lot written about the signs of AI-generated writing but for me a clear signal has become the way my eyes glaze over and mind starts to wander because I'm reading an overstuffed paragraph of platitudes that could have been one pithy sentence.

Publishing at our usual 6am time slot... if you're in Brisbane 😅

Live now! shows.acast.com/for-techs-sa... (It's the afternoon somewhere 🤷🏻‍♀️)

follow @fortechssakepod.bsky.social and listen to their podcasts. the highlighted episodes in this thread are insightful

i am buzzing to share that i have a new column with the journal which will be published every tuesday!! this is the first one but i’ll be writing about this sort of stuff and the housing crisis a lot in the coming weeks jrnl.ie/7025887

It is surprisingly good for a story about Wework.

In other news, our @earley.bsky.social will now be writing a regular column for @thejournal.ie 🙌

In just over a week, Instagram will put an end to its end-to-end encryption. We covered this in our recent episode, noting how this was covertly announced via a help page update. (As @earley.bsky.social said, if you have bad news, bury it in the FAQs.) Listen here: pod.fo/e/404da6

I posted about AIReady.ie last week, but only based on reading the summaries. This thread by Elaine from @fortechssakepod.bsky.social (and her mam) is much more thorough. The website sounds very much like genAI ‘assisted’ work; sloppy, untested and expecting the user to find sense in it. #SpeirGorm

A taster of what to expect from our next episode...

"If you have bad news, bury it in the FAQs." @earley.bsky.social shares a classic comms trick in our latest episode, where we're talking about Instagram scrapping end-to-end encryption, and what we think they could be improving instead. Listen here: pod.fo/e/404da6

"I just hate bad AI, not all AI." More from our live episode with @abeba.blacksky.app. Listen to the full interview: pod.fo/e/3ff62c

We're rethinking the term 'knowledge worker' after chatting with @janeruffino.bsky.social. Check out our full chat about the cables – and people – that keep the internet connected here: pod.fo/e/3f9bf2

🎉🥳

We did it! We moved our For Tech's Sake recording from remote video calls to live and in-person, and we couldn't have done it without the help of @thedigitalhub.bsky.social and @deelaffan.bsky.social from the Beár Bia podcast. ❤️❤️❤️

I’m currently in A&E with a very sweet Palestinian man who has been on the receiving end of non stop abuse from Irish people telling him to go home and saying he’s not sick and shouldn’t be here. It’s sad that he felt like he had to prove it but showed me the piles of medication he’s currently on

OK, the internet isn't held together by spaghetti, but the cables that connect us sure look like that when they're bundled up. We know this because @janeruffino.bsky.social visited a ship recovering the world's first transatlantic fibre-optic cable and told us all about it: pod.fo/e/3f9bf2

Sold out! But you can join the waitlist or donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians via our ticketing page.
