@changeist this, from @broderick’s latest Garbage Day reminds me of the interview we did for Projections. I think you may even have used the word ‘slop’
Had a great time hosting the brilliant @prehensile from @BBCRD to speak to my students at @ual_cci! It was fascinating to hear about the diverse range of work he has been involved in over the years and his exciting new role in foresight.
@lexmakesthings@BBCRD I realised the other day that the quote on the front and the final interview quote in the whole thing are both from you — we are bookended by your wisdom 😄
Appreciate @prehensile and the @BBCRD crew for getting me involved with their new report exploring potential futures and what emergent technologies may contribute to these alternative timelines

Over in the day job, the @bbcrd Advisory Team has just published a really fascinating piece of research into tech trends, with the great title 'Things are not normal' h/t to @prehensile, the main author and cat juggler. https://t.co/dYYJRcAMUi
I'm giving a keynote at @AcmIcmi tomorrow. Great occasion to be at a conference I wouldn't usually attend and learn about research in Human-Computer Interaction and robotics #ICMI2023
@mumoss reminds me of one of my favourite quotes about design, by Eliel Saarinen, an architect:
Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context – a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.

@wefail hello! many years ago you did a presentation which had a slide in it that said "it's only the internet, nobody lives or dies". I printed that out and stuck it to the wall above my desk.
A group of San Franciscans realized that they can disable Waymo and Cruise robotaxis by placing a traffic cone on the vehicle's hood.
They're now encouraging others to do it: "Hell no, we do not consent to this."
