That was wonderful, Montreal! Three packed days, with #unstable23 and our Shaping AI consortium at amazing @Milieux_news, morning runs up Mont Real, dinner at @fenwick‘s house(🙏), a few explorations in the city incl Cafe SAT. Wow — makes want to come back for a much longer stay! 🇨🇦 Thanks!
After completing #unstable23, we are convening and workshopping today as Shaping AI consortium. What are the controversies and cases that we are going to study comparatively in the final year? @fenwick hosting us @Milieux_news
Now, @fenwick is closing our #unstable23 conference at the fabulous @Milieux_news. That was quite some two asked with critical inquiry and discussion on AI in society. Thanks to Fen and his team for hosting this – and all participants! This was wonderful – looking fwd to have you in Berlin in early 2024!

I’m currently in Montréal at the fantastic(un)stable diffusions conference #unstable23 organized by @fenwick & team.

And: @Milieux_news at Concordia, and Montreal more broadly, is really a quite wonderful and impressive place. I hope I have the chance to make up for my cancelled (there was a pandemic!) fellowship research stay in Montreal #unstable23
Finaly, Lucy Suchman with a fascinating close reading of a video ad by Palantir on their AIP military operation system, with a focus on the underlying imaginaries. Interesting (and quite frightening, actually) to see that the text-based chat interface (just like #ChatGPT) is the dominant mode of operation here as well #unstable23
