@reganmandryk @mattm401 Lol... Yeah!! That was a funny moment, thanks for the comment, Regan!

[Pablo Paredes @pabloeparedes]

Happy to complete a cycle of collab. with @zhenanbao, @KhanLabUSC, @mattm401, @LMWilliams_PhD, and many great researchers from @Stanford, @StanfordMed, @StanfordHAI, @USC, @umdcs, @UDelaware, @siusom ... Thanks to @ToyotaResearch for their support to present it at #CHI2024

@gautam_io @elonmusk @Tesla @CitySanLeandro @TeslaInsurance Thanks, I will do it... I initially, Tesla insurance said they may go after the city for covering part of the cost, but now they are just leaving me alone.

[Pablo Paredes @pabloeparedes]

@elonmusk my @Tesla model 3 burned down b a piece of metal uncleaned by @CitySanLeandro, sliced the battery. I got no warnings and escaped after a passerby told me. @TeslaInsurance tells me that it was my fault, and that I should contact the manufacturer. What do I do?

[Pablo Paredes @pabloeparedes]

I was driving back home at low speed and almost die, and now I need to pay for deductibles? @Tesla should do something here beyond ridiculous insurance formalities.

[Pablo Paredes @pabloeparedes]

Thanks @ToyotaResearch for supporting me to be at
#CHI2024 to present my former multidisciplinary work in collaboration with multiple departments @Stanford @USC @umdcs @UDelaware and colleagues across various other universities: https://t.co/UfjEGWvCVB

Really proud of being part of this new National AI R&D center funded by @NSF, covering an important need in our society https://t.co/xsYlYRREDy

Proud to see my former postdoc @XinTong1111 present our #CHI2023 paper "Just Do Something: comparing Self-Proposed with AI-recommended stress interventions...", showing efficacy for both cases. Great collaboration with colleagues from @umdcs @StanfordMed @UDelaware & @DukeKunshan

[Pablo Paredes @pabloeparedes]

This work is based on our Chrome Plugin tool Home Sweet Office https://t.co/RHvqM0U7dP - we are happy to explore new questions about stress, productivity or behavioral change in general.

Proud to see my former postdoc @XinTong1111 present our #CHI2023 paper "Just-Do-Something" https://t.co/HKX8GCf6Z2 comparing Self-Proposed with AI-recommended stress interventions, showing efficacy from both! Great collaboration with @umdcs @StanfordMed @UDelaware & @DukeKunshan

@dh7net UX x "anything" should never be a last minute design choice. An engineering-obsessed culture thinks UX comes later. FYI - the field of research is called Human-Computer Interaction. AI and HCI come from the same origin. Attend @acm_chi at Hamburg, learn, and inform others.

@NElmqvist @csaudk Congratulations, Niklas! Best success in your beautiful new destination!

Super proud to witness my mother receiving a just recognition for her pioneer academic career as the creator of the Gender Studies major at @JurisUCUENCA https://t.co/hBCEzbKIVj

@andriy_mulyar @sleepinyourhat @srush_nlp @chrmanning @mdredze @ChrisGPotts Not only NLP students... What do any CS PhD students do? Is there even any interest or need for anything other than LLMs anymore?

[Pablo Paredes @pabloeparedes]

@Ken_Goldberg Can you elaborate? Are you rethinking mostly your views on creativity and AI?

[Pablo Paredes @pabloeparedes]

Excited to be participating tomorrow in an interesting panel about Biometrics Regulation organized by the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology... You can register and attend here: https://t.co/j8x3dRmREm

[Matthew Louis Mauriello @mattm401]

Excited to have received news that our paper comparing self-proposed & machine-recommended stress interventions w/ online workers (via our Home Sweet Office plugin) was accepted to #CHI2023. It's been great working w/ @XinTong1111, @pabloeparedes, and others on this #HCI project.

[Pablo Paredes @pabloeparedes]

Turns out people have good ideas to manage their own stress at work... machines can further support if needed. Proud to have our paper contrasting self-proposed and AI-recommended interventions accepted to #CHI2023. Congrats to my former postdocs @XinTong1111, @mattm401, et al.

@ylecun The scientific process must end with a rigorous publication, because that is how you guarantee rigorous scientific work. Following the scientific process w/o publishing should have a different name. Perhaps "empirical engineering", or something else, but not science.

@mynkgoel Thanks, Mayank

Happy to share my latest TEDx talk in Discomfort by Design: https://t.co/UEchY8HajY
In a world where technology is built mostly to alleviate discomfort, maybe what we need is to embrace discomfort as a design feature to help us grow and develop resilience.
