A gift at the end of a very long day. Here it is, in all its glory: the open access version of my book on network cultures is now available thanks to MIT Press.

It was interesting to hang out at @easst last week and learn from folks in the #STS space. The kids loved the vouchers too (their own money).
I presented some results from our work on people interacting with LLMs. Besides Welby and Suchman, which I shared before, the interactions made me think of Garfinkel's Studies in Ethnomethodology, and especially his random-yes-no-answers experiment
We're uncannily good at finding sense in nonsense, and instruction-tuning boosts it
Attached: 1 image Check the new EASST Review published just in time for the big #sts conference. Our editorial is quite a political one. https://easst.net/easst-review/43-1/ Indeed, it’s time for #easst4s2024! On my way to the registration in Amsterdam, filled with memories of an Utrecht book/zine store. #easst4s
Of related interest for all the data, media, infrastructures, publics, and history people at #EASST4S2024: Please consider contributing to next year's THE DATAFIED WEB at Siegen University. Our call for contributions is open until October 15: https://easychair.org/cfp/RESAW2025. Boosts are highly welcome.

Going to attempt live tooting of the big hitter round table in 'Politicizing' at #easst4s
First time live tooting. Hold tight!
Hey #easst4s2024 @easst crowd. I fear yesterday was unexpectedly my last day at the conference, due to testing positive for COVID this morning.
If you’re feeling not 100%, you might also want to get a couple of tests, which luckily are quite cheaply available in pharmacies in the Netherlands.
can't go wrong with Suchman

Protip for @easst organisers and #easst4s2024 folks: with a conference that happens only once every four years and that has a low-traffic acronym like #EASST4S, there is no need to have year-specific hashtags. Predictable confusion & fractured convos could be prevented by keeping to a single, clear, maximally short hashtag like #easst4s — variants like #easst4s24 and #easst4s2024 just add extra ballast
I know it's day 4 so maybe this comes in handy in 2028 🤣
