Wie können #Mensch und #KI erfolgreich zusammenarbeiten? Das hat Dr. Désirée Zercher in ihrer #Dissertation untersucht. Dabei ist sie der Frage nachgegangen, wie sich durch die Integration generativer KI-Teammitglieder kollaborative Arbeits- und Entscheidungsprozesse verändern. 🤖 Für ihre Arbeit wurde sie jetzt mit dem #SüdwestmetallFörderpreis ausgezeichnet. Herzlichen Glückwunsch! 🎉

He is VERY particular, as are ALL of the artists I’ve been working to recruit. They have worked VERY HARD on their #brand, their discography and reputation. I had to demonstrate that what the end product of this game represents is worth the risk AND their time. This is MY LIVING #dissertation

Ah, another riveting #dissertation on how you’re hopelessly mangling your data structures—because clearly, you aren't confused enough already. 😵‍💫 Yes, let's obsess over canonical outputs and domain separation, because who doesn’t love getting lost in a cryptographic quagmire? 🙄 Spoiler alert: nobody knows how to do it right, but keep trying!

Signing data structures the right way

Domain separation bugs have bitten Bitcoin, Ethereum, TLS, and AWS. Snowpack solves this by embedding random domain separators directly in the IDL.

FWIW and for sharing the joy: I have just successfully defended my #dissertation. 🥰 It is titled:

”Societal IT systems development. Towards a discursive process-oriented multi-perspective approach to co-designing, -operating, -assessing, and -regulating societally relevant IT systems” 😅

So many wonderful people were supporting me all along the way, it's always teamwork, thank you so much. 🙏

The #summary can be found here: https://rainer-rehak.eu/files/dissertation-summary/ and after some revisions, corrections, editing etc. it will of course be freely available. #CCBY #OA #computerscience @tuberlin @Weizenbaum_Institut
