Tänään saimme kunnian puhua yliopiston juhlasalissa Essi Tainon (@essitai.bsky.social) kanssa pelikulttuurista, siihen kuulumisesta ja näiden tutkimuksesta 7.–9.-luokkalaisille nuorille osana Tampereen yliopiston Tiedon valoa -tapahtumaa. Olipa iloa ja intoa tuova tapa päättää työviikko! 🤩

New publication! Our team looked into how different types of game companies and other game cultural organisations (focused on digital gaming) in Finland understand DEI in their own activities and what kind of guidelines and practices they have for promoting DEI.

US imperialism & aggression is hardly news - it's just been more mask-off recently. But as academics the question we need to ask is how we can act in relation to it, & at least part of the answer is to interrogate the default centering of US institutions, viewpoints & agendas in global research.

Screenshot of a paper entry:
Fictional Failures and Real-World Lessons: Ethical Speculation Through Design Fiction on Emotional Support Conversational AI
Authors: Faye Kollig, Jessica Pater, Fayika Farhat Nova, Casey Fiesler
(There are tabs with "abstract" and "summary" and "summary" is selected.)
The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.

Chocolate chip and chocolate biscuits on plates and a green teapot on an office kitchen table
Elections for the academic board, i.e. the highest democratically elected decision-making body within our uni, are underway. Today, we gathered in the coffee room to discuss elections and decision-making processes at the uni and to chat with some candidates. We need more of this at the university!

Joku voi toki saada (kuluista, paikasta ja asuinolosuhteista riippuen), ja moni myös tekee mieluummin töitä kotoa käsin. Itse näkisin kuitenkin, että työnantajan tulisi tarjota mahdollisimman hyvät ja työntekijän tarpeita vastaavat työskentelyolosuhteet myös siellä työpaikalla.

Työelämä | Yritys päätti repiä etätyöläiset konttorille erikoiskeinoin
Kun työntekijät karkasivat kotiin, it-yritys perusti erikoistiimin houkuttelemaan väkeä konttorille. HS seurasi mood managerien eli fiilisvastaavien päivää.
@hs.fi kertoi, miten etäilijöitä houkutellaan työpaikalle askartelulla, mustamakkaran maistelulla ja äänimaljahoidoilla. Kokeilisiko joku rohkea IT-yritys seuraavaksi rauhallisia ja viihtyisiä työpisteitä, jotka tukevat keskittymistä niin, että työt saa hoidettua työajalla?

Suorapuheinen Gazan sodan kommentoija Timo R. Stewart on palkittu Vuoden tieteentekijänä
Stewart kertoo, että vihapostin lähettäjät ovat yrittäneet vaientaa hänet.
Timo R. Stewartin nimitys vuoden tieteentekijäksi on hyvinkin ansaittu. Tämähän siis ei ole niinkään tunnustus julkaisuista tai tutkimuksellisista läpilyönneistä -- niitäkin tietysti olisi -- vaan yhteiskunnallisesta vaikuttavuudesta tutkijana.
Tätä asiaa voisi taas käsitellä lyhyen ketjun verran.
