First Ethical Data Analytics workshop was a success! 3 more to go. Thanks for funding our project #4VA @GeorgeMasonU. Grateful for our collaboration with @Sunkesharee at @virginia_tech. If you are in VA, sign up to attend in one of the remaining locations https://t.co/SsgA3Q2uUA

Great to present with @DigLife3 members at #cptsc2022 - panel on data analytics, smart cities, human-autonomy teaming, AI & augmentation tech with @AHDuin @JasonCKTham @nupoorwriting @dhocutt Gustav Verhulsdonck ⁦@OT_FSSH⁩

Thanks for sharing this research. Looking forward to reading. Am interested in the boundaries of GPT3 capabilities, examining strengths & shortcomings.

[Maarten Sap (he/him) @MaartenSap]

Have you ever wondered whether large neural networks like GPT3 acquire💭Theory-of-Mind-like abilities🧠? And whether they could achieve human-like🤝🏼social intelligence👥 just by reading insanely large amounts of text?

We find they don't have Theory-of-Mind and examine why🧵

@amykatdavis Sorry Katlynne. Listening ear here if needed. And spot-on perfect gif!

Why is there never enough coffee on a cloudy, rainy day?

[Daniel Hocutt @dhocutt]

@amykatdavis "Liked" with the heart because I feel the heartbreak expressed, definitely not because I like what you're going through.

@emmarosephd @JasonCKTham @chenchen328 @nupoorwriting @LukeThominet @dmstambler @pidoubleg @ar_bakke @cnlauer @sigdoc Mind you, I’m not a TC elder in the sense of being seasoned in the field. Just an elder in the sense of being old.

[Daniel Hocutt @dhocutt]

@emmarosephd @JasonCKTham @chenchen328 @nupoorwriting @LukeThominet @dmstambler @pidoubleg @ar_bakke @cnlauer @sigdoc Yes. We are elder TC… 💾📟📞📠📼👴

[Daniel Hocutt @dhocutt]

@ar_bakke @guiseppegetto @JasonCKTham Definitely 5: 1 to wayfind, 4 to conduct user research to enhance wayfinding. We got where we were going anyway.

[Daniel Hocutt @dhocutt]

@emmarosephd @JasonCKTham @chenchen328 @nupoorwriting @LukeThominet @dmstambler @pidoubleg @ar_bakke @cnlauer Ditto @emmarosephd - love that @JasonCKTham is in our field & that the @sigdoc community welcomes our lived experiences as learning opportunities. Also chuffed that someone else remembers Aldus PageMaker and red laser-light mice (🖱 not 🐁).

Last week, @sigdoc convened for its 40th annual conference in Boston. I served as technical editor producing the proceedings, and I wanted to share the 39 research, industry insights, experience reports & poster abstracts produced by smart people! https://t.co/rq0re0r9xX

Developing a professional communication class with industry partners makes the class real and keeps students from “hating it” - @DrAntoniowrites making it real & challenging assumptions #cwcon22 #crt #techcomm

In C6 Give GIFs a Chance- @JamieHenthorn @coffeebreak808 @MerryQuinn walk us through a framework of GIFs as rhetorical in/for techcomm, identification & commercial use. #cwcon22 #oduenglishphd

[Daniel Hocutt @dhocutt]

Fascinating thread that has implications for @DigLife3 among many other research collaborations. Especially useful suggestions for ways to harness the power of AI critically with students. @JasonCKTham @nupoorwriting @isabel_pedersen @AHDuin @andrewiliadis

[Mike Sharples @sharplm]

This "student essay" was written by an AI Transformer program. I gave it a prompt "The construct of learning styles is problematic because " and it generated the rest, including the headings and references. AI Transformer technology will disrupt education. Here's how. 🧵1/

@jsanofranchini @Halcyon_L @nupoorwriting @JasonCKTham might be productive to partner with @sigdoc on the UX side, lots of practitioners there. Hadn't thought of #ATTW22 as where this might happen, but why not? I'm up to explore!
