@easyJet_press @easyJet Stuck in Lisbon after yesterday's flight was cancelled due to "bad weather" conditions, while all other airlines went ahead as normal... No customer service, no hotel accomodation, no respect and compensation claims will take 28 days to be processed? This needs to be escalated.

Thank you for having me @NECS_Network! I thoroughly enjoyed the stimulating discussions & exchanges in the great company of Marilia Kaisar and Linda Kopitz, at the Graduate Workshop. Leaving Oslo inspired for all the right reasons and ... the surprising sunburn (who knew?!)

The analyst outside looked from bot to man, and from man to bot, and from bot to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Did you know that the artist can see the names of the playlists you’re adding their songs to on Spotify? 👀

"As the interpreters of the actions that machines take, we will always attempt to reintroduce some type of narrative explanation. But one danger we face is the temptation to adopt the post-narrative position toward which the automated system gestures, despite its incoherence".

@JamieJBartlett Yes, I agree. It's not meaningful communication, but information exchange affording for all sorts of commodification through its model and pervasiveness. What could possible alternatives look like?
