Articificial Intelligence's self-eval baked in? 1) Is AI the best choice/option 2) Is the goal social justice / equality 3) Is the goal ecologically/environmentally sensitive 4) Does AI cause any harm? 5) Do people benefit?

Seeding ideas for a new collab project. Wallzine project with youngers. #streetArt #politics #coProduction

The intersection of LLMs (e.g. Bard) and voice assistants (e.g Home Assistant, Alexa) seems closer. No need to type, just talk.

oh... there's also this paper I did with the award winning Dr John Hockey (Research Jedi 🎓) which is getting some attention too (5th most read paper this year in a highly ranked Q1 journal): tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Graffiti / street artists - for a current research project - I have two community walls (25m x 3m and 20m x 3m) that need painting. Interested? Msg me or email via my website in my bio. Thx. #murals #streetArt #graf #graffiti #outreach University of Gloucestershire

Great to have a surprise print copy delivered of this article on cycling and the senses. Especially as I'm convalescing at home after a crash. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Choose books as you would friends. This one's a badass. #jockyoung

[Public spaces] "Consumers often share spaces that are designed for action not for social interaction".

Shhh. The Omerta. " There is a real disincentive to have systems that promote safety by design, rather that persuasive design, persuading children and young people to become addicted and look at more content."

Again... Shhh! "By its nature, the most enticing content tends to be that extreme content, and that is the content that is pushed by algorithms".

Tech companies have all this data on children, and use it to their advantage, but doing research studies, we have to apply for informed consent/ethical approval, a difficult and laborious process. That does not exist in the online world; it is a free-for- all."

"TikTok in China does not look like TikTok in the US, in terms of what children are exposed to. Even the equivalent of TikTok in China is locked to 40 minutes a day. Some US teens spend 10 or 12 hours a day on TikTok"

Check out pages 123-133, Chapter 10. 😁. This book is essential reading for anyone exploring alternative approaches to research. #creativeresearch #methods #teachers #MAEducation #educationStudies #BAEducation #ecr #phdlife

Quadrennial halving happened. Stability. Growth through 2024. ✔️

It doesn't really matter if your skills at GenAi/LLM prompting and Voice are beginner level or professional when the orientation /response promote consumption, waste and profit. For instance... Prompt "Tell me about wasps nests. AMA". 1/2.

...Response "You can prevent wasps by using insecticides or fumigation. Would you like a link to a website where you can buy these?" Or? Wasps play an important role in pollination of maple trees. Maple trees ... Etc etc. 2/2

"resulting in systems that harm marginalized groups and centralize power, while using the language of “safety” and “benefiting humanity” to evade accountability.

We know that voice assistants produce data that is transcirbed and used to train LLMs right? Just so that structure, semantics and syntax 'feel' less synthetic... #chatgpt #stylometry #voiceassistants #vui
