#CSCW2025 preprint alert!

Science communication is essential—yet often neglected. With TranSlider, we demonstrate how to design AI interfaces that personalize scientific texts while preserving user agency + privacy. (1/🧵)

Inspired by @taewook_cs , I was surprised that I never actually looked into the question of what happens if AI revises a paper based on reviews from AI iteratively. Is there going to be a fixed point?

As a first step, I asked NeuriCo to try it out. It turns out the answer is No in its setup as we have a never-satisfied reviewer.

Excited to dig into this deeper!

@_yudaitanaka @UTCompSci Congratulations Yudai 🔥

[Thinking Machines @thinkymachines]

People talk, listen, watch, think, and collaborate at the same time, in real time. We've designed an AI that works with people the same way.

We share our approach, early results, and a quick look at our model in action.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):

I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

@universeinanegg 100% as English as a Second Language. I got really confused why colonel sounds like kernel when I was in the military.

@cheesetalk1997 a kind of lovely game that even makes players lovely IRL :D

Did you know #Midjourney has a Storytelling Lab? 📜
We’re a small team building expressive, approachable and controllable tools for AI-supported storytelling: Worldbuilding, games, creative writing, and more.

Find our works here https://t.co/jmk0kmDq6H 🥳

New pre-print out with Xingyu Li @Xingyu19980214 and Shunyu Yao @ShunyuYao12
🎨We introduce ORIBA, an LLM agent that helps original character (#OC) artists develop their characters through role-play conversations.

🥳What is OC (original character)? An OC is a fictional character that an artist creates themselves, not taken from any existing work.

🎨ORIBA helps artists imagine their OCs as vivid, emotionally rich characters. It supports storytelling and personality, not image generation.

🎨It chats as the character using reasoning steps like observation, reflection, and behavior.
Artists control the visual side and use ORIBA to expand character depth.

In our study with 14 OC artists, ORIBA helped:
✔ Strengthen emotional bonds with OCs
✔ Uncover new personality details
✔ Lead to new artworks—7 participants made OC art inspired by the conversations

🎨ORIBA shows how LLMs can support creativity in subtle, text-based ways.
Artists used it to explore dialogue, emotion, and world-building. It worked like a writing companion that respects artistic direction and style.

This was written in 2024, and I’m very happy to finally share it now.
Happy to chat if you want to learn more!

#Midjourney Storytelling Lab launched an AI game engine called #Dramamancer 🥳
As author, you set key story beats for the AI narrator to improvise from. As player, you explore by typing what you want to do 🎮

how to get into ai:
- choose between language models or image models
- build from scratch with chatgpt
- recursively ask chatgpt about anything you don't intuitively understand
- explain things back to find gaps in understanding

A note to PhD applicants trying to get in contact with me:
(1) email is best
(2) keep it short
(3) tell me what uniquely interests you (be specific!), rather than attempting to use words in my recent papers vacuously
