#cscw2025

I’m in a session at the CSCW conference featuring 6 papers focused on online misinformation. It’s one of at least 3 sessions this conference focusing on misinfo or similar. The room is completely packed. I’m concerned about how few papers and sessions we will see in 3-5 years due to funding cuts.

The Cost of a Taco: Accelerating Dark Patterns for Consumers and the Threat of AI Agents There are four pretty good taco shops near my office. Yesterday for lunch I had one fish taco and one grilled chicken. Here’s my receipt:

How "Free Speech Culture" Is Killing Free Speech: Part One Blurring The Lines Between Official Censorship And Individual Criticism Built The Intellectual Foundation For Trump's Assault On Free Expression

Great post by @popehatnamechanges.bsky.social on problems with "free speech culture":
It "picks a speaker, treats that person’s speech as the speech that should concern us, and then applies a set of cultural norms and questions only to the responses to that speech."

I’m worried it can still get stupider

America's lowest wage workers were experiencing the fastest wage growth from 2015-2022.

Now they are experiencing the slowest wage growth and the most abrupt deceleration.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Are you using AI at work? What’s working and what’s not? New subreddit: reddit.com/r/AIActual

How AI is killing jobs in the tech industry Tech workers at TikTok, Google, and across the industry share stories about how AI is changing, ruining, or replacing their jobs.

What impact is AI having on jobs in the tech industry? I've been collecting stories from tech workers—from engineers at giants like Google to content mods at TikTok to coders at small startups—to find out.

Here, in their words, is how AI is transforming, degrading, and yes, replacing their jobs.

Loving the new book @older.bsky.social !

a photo grid of dolls with protest t-shirts and signs.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

I still think it's pretty wild that corrupt oligarchs destroyed the entirety of U.S. consumer protection and corporate oversight and it's barely written about by journalists or policy folks

just not really of any serious interest

Looks great—thank you!
