Fascinating paper. "For example, P1 shared, “I was just trying to frame a sentence in my mind when I saw the suggestion.” This speed often outpaced participants’ own ideation and sentence planning."

Here is an easy solution: Food stains are humiliating, as they suggest you're a little baby who can't feed themselves. Oil stains, such as those you'd get from working on your car, suggest you're tough, independent, and skilled. Thus, simply cover your food stains with used motor oil.

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

People tend to assume my work in helping people learn how to make games is for industry careers But for 20 years most people I've helped make games haven't mainly been seeking jobs doing it Freeware game development is valid and worthwhile as a way to learn a variety of skills and enrich our lives

I know a lot of researchers who should know AAT exists. “A disabled-led, unapologetically intersectional transcription and closed captioning social enterprise offering transcription support for researchers, by researchers.”

important on LLMs for academics: 1️⃣ LLMs are usefully seen as lossy content-addressable systems 2️⃣ we can't automatically detect plagiarism 3️⃣ LLMs automate plagiarism & paper mills 4️⃣ we must protect literature from pollution 5️⃣ LLM use is a CoI 6️⃣ prompts do not cause output in authorial sense

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
