The limitations of LLM’s are beginning to reveal some interesting boundaries. By accelerating or automating certain functions, their irrelevance in other areas is gradually exposed. https://t.co/i9qGEnhFbK

An evolutionary approach to pathfinding helps us understand the collective pathways of our species to see how they condition future possibilities for tapping lasting human needs and values.

It’s increasingly up to each of us to determine whether the narratives we’re experiencing are merely a form of entertainment (where we intentionally want our emotions to be engaged), or whether they’re overstepping their influence in critical ways.

Given the deep familiarity ethnographers have with collaboration (both in terms of navigating field research and understanding how people come together to form cultures), they are highly qualified leaders for collaborative work. See how here... https://t.co/dew15f3bpB

If you were to teach a class on speculative anthropologies (world building, writing, experimental ethnography, sf, time travel) what articles or books would you recommend? #anthrotwitter

I receive a lot of queries about my journey to and through anthropology, innovation, and industry; as well as requests for advice from people just getting started. I wish I had time to answer them all, but in lieu of that, I’ve decided to offer this post. https://t.co/8BtmLMWaih

Take a break and listen to my conversation with Rita Denny! We chat about how EPIC is pivoting for their conference this year in light of COVID-related restrictions, as well as changes in ethnographic praxis overall. https://t.co/71rQUH6eSo

Please join me as I talk with Sam Ladner about her new book, Mixed Methods. We cover some of Sam's critical insights, including: #artifacts #crossfunctional #dataexhaust #mixedmethods #psychologicalsafety #SamLadner #stoicism https://t.co/QIXCZ60fZH

Anthropology and computer science go back much further than many realize; and the relationship between the two continues to evolve. #3ai #anu #bateson #cybernetics #genevievebell #mead https://t.co/57mlBluB6A

My colleague, Charley Scull, has been 'unpacking' weirdness for a while now, and reaching some intriguing insights about its anthropological usefulness. #EPIC #weird #CharleyScull https://t.co/OHDon3KwNt

What do we really mean by 'disruption?' Check out Michael Powell's interesting take on ethnographic thinking and start-ups in his guest post on Ethnographic Mind:

What the powerful are losing includes some of the key attributes of ethnographic thinking. Further evidence for the need for anthropologists as thought partners in the halls of power, corporate and otherwise.

@culanth Appreciate this experience most for how it shapes your thinking and general approach to the world—not just the knowledge you've gained or produced.

[ethnographicmind @ethnothinking]

@DrAmyCooper @TFSTweets Why 2000-present? Mead and Bateson had much to offer in this area. https://t.co/0JmrD08FHX

[ethnographicmind @ethnothinking]

There appears to be renewed interest in our anthropological ancestors...

"To be an anthropologist was to be committed to the critical refinement of your own experience. That was the whole point of purposefully throwing yourself into the most foreign and remote of places." - Charles King
