Social media impact measurement is something I am planning to do empirically: like measuring follower counts vs review scores; follower counts vs cites etc.

This is a good point, yeah. We discussed this when we were designing the survey and arrived at this sentiment as we want to understand how different communities approach towards social media.

I'm conducting research on how ACL's peer reviewing policies impact NLP research quality, career trajectories, and inclusivity within our community. Your insightsβ€”whether you're a seasoned reviewer, early-career researcher, or anywhere in betweenβ€”are invaluable.
The survey takes 7-10 minutes and covers topics like review quality, reviewer assignment, and accessibility barriers. All responses are confidential and will help inform evidence-based improvements to our peer review processes.

πŸ”” My paper w/ @ninamarkl.bsky.social and @bjoernross.bsky.social is out: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We surveyed TikTok users on motivations for using phrases like "le$bean". Primarily associated w/ topics that are moderated on SM, but also desire to express community + be playful.

Bluesky silenced trans voices over J.K. Rowling, here’s why Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targeted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire.

I don't care if soy jerky is tsp (travelling salesman problem) based. Even NP-hard problems can cause cultural appropriation.

AI for good, with caveats: How a keynote speaker was censored during an international artificial intelligence summit Q&A with Abeba Birhane on how she was censored during the AI for Good summit and how the industry can do better.

Most people who’ve known me more than 30 minutes will have heard me rant about how AI for social good is a corporate branding attempt at excusing AI.

But the fact that the AI for Good summit censored @abeba.bsky.social is beyond disgraceful.

5. Selling aka deployment.

Finally, the selling - "let them eat cake!" But like Marie Antoinette's tone-deaf suggestion, AI is oversold to communities who lack ingredients, recipes, or ovens. Technosolutionism promises the world but often delivers surveillance and extraction instead.

4. Tasting aka evals.

Who decides if it's "tasty"? Average-based metrics hide harm to minorities. What tastes good to the majority might be toxic to others. 21+ definitions of fairness exist but achieving them simultaneously is impossible. Whose taste buds matter?
