All the News That’s Fit to Click is officially OUT and in the world! There are many anticlimactic moments in academia, but I can now say that holding your own book in your hands isn’t one of them. 1/x https://t.co/T8YU7RN1O5

New from me and @JuliaTicona1: an essay for @nytimes about the now-or-never efforts to secure a future for paid creative work in the age of gen AI, and why they matter.

Honored to receive funding from @NEHgov (and beyond excited to join forces with @JuliaTicona1) for a new project on creative labor and generative AI...

🎇Hi everyone! Interrupting my months-long twitter hiatus to share two new publications I'm proud of, both published open-access in @IJoC_USC (1/5)🎇:

[Caitlin Petre @cbpetre]

The 2nd, Structures of Capital and Sociotechnical Change (w/@bshestakofsky), argues that if we want to understand why tech develops as it does, we have to look more closely at the role of financing models (and Venture Capital specifically) (4/5): https://t.co/YwCpBul8hk

@caseyrandazzo @RutgersCommInfo @vivks @Ognyanova @youngrim__kim You'll be great! You got this.

[Caitlin Petre @cbpetre]

Thank you for reading! (also I think reading a book 2 years after publication counts as early in academia-time :)

[Elif Birced @BircedElif]

It’s my bad to read @cbpetre’s book so late! Her book broadened my perspective of what autonomy means for journalists who are not working at news organizations with multiple levels of editorial assessment. It shows how control and autonomy co-exists in metric-driven organizations

[Vincent Mosco @Vmosco]

It feels like there are two stories topping the news today--the strikes in Hollywood and the fight over AI. This book, written fifty years ago, is one of the best guides to understanding both.

@catchatweetdown I'm not one to talk -- our neighbors kindly invited me and the kids over for dinner the other night, and I spent like half the time ranting about this one page in Goodnight Moon that sends me spiraling into existential dread

[Caitlin Petre @cbpetre]

@catchatweetdown tell me you're solo-parenting without telling me you're solo-parenting

[Caitlin Petre @cbpetre]

@Leeam332 @DrMetaxa share away! :)

[Kristian Lum @KLdivergence]

All of twitter’s ML Ethics, transparency, and accountability team (except one). was laid off today. So much for that responsible ML initiative, huh?

[Lessig 🇺🇦 @lessig]

alas, it turns out business model is law.

@Chanders @CharlieBeckett ahhhh you're here! for the Walter Lippman thing?
