Boiling here at home in Cyprus but I put the finishing touches a couple of days ago on this preprint: What Does 'Human-Centred AI' Mean? doi.org/10.48550/arX...

Wherein I analyse HCAI & demonstrate through 3 triplets my new tripartite definition of AI (Table 1) that properly centres the human. 1/n

Over the weekend @benedictdouglas.bsky.social and I were lucky enough to run an amazing zine making session at the East Midlands NEU Activist Summer School

Throughout the day we reflected on our role in addressing the rise of the right & its corrosion of our democracies

The cultural artifacts in the game are based on real-world pieces in Western museums, such as the Ngadji drum, a wooden drum made by the Pokomo people in Kenya confiscated by the British in 1902 and has since remained in the British Museum.

AI podcast of my paper on conservation politics in Madagascar- asking me to rate it out of 5 stars

My response on academia.edu ‘Please remove this - I did not ask for it and I do not want it’ . The box ‘do not display this podcast’ is selected

This is so infuriating- something I did not ask for & do not want (for so many reasons). Academia.edu - which I don’t use, has generated an AI podcast of one of my (really old!!) papers with a fake voice. The equivalent of reading the abstract & assuming it gives you all you need to know.

Miracles do happen: I learned about this in primary school and (surprise!) knowing it has certainly shaped my worldview ✨

Be very, very careful what you wish for. A key point made in the REF2014 History sub-panel final report was that 2* research often clearly played a vital enabling role in the creation of 4* research. Process, not just products, needs careful attention in any restriction of UK research volume.

This thread captures a lot of what I see as useful/not about using counterfactuals to work with alternative legal futures.

This is really useful: it tells us what the problem is, and what, practically, we can individually and collectively try to do about it.

Action on researcher career development must go beyond surface-level fixes Financial challenges across the sector are having lasting consequences for researchers’ careers. For Yolana Pringle, now is not the time to be ticking boxes

'Financial constraints and the evolving REF 2029 people, culture and environment (PCE) guidance are shaping how institutions support research staff, and universities face a choice:' 1/2

Academic literature on whether gamification helps in higher education is negative to inconclusive after decades of work, and those ones had active thought going into them.

Good speculative fiction is philosophy hung on a scaffolding of "what if". It's a great way to showcase concepts in contexts that make them easier to grasp.

Dreaming spires won’t save UK universities that downplay impact Isolated domains of academic excellence must transform into dynamic enterprises integrated with local industry and community, says Aleks Subic

What impoverished HE thinking: 'as we navigate a post-Brexit landscape and an increasingly fractured global order, this disconnect between research excellence and commercial application at scale is no longer merely disappointing – it is deeply damaging for universities and the economy.' 1/2

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey.

They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵
