It’s concerning to see AI being used to predict applicant performance for medical school and residency selection as per the AAMC. I’m glad they’re at least thinking about a responsible AI approach but I can’t imagine AI selecting future doctors. @emilymbender and @alex i would love to see a mystery hype 3000 ep about this - https://www.aamc.org/about-us/mission-areas/medical-education/principles-responsible-ai-medical-school-and-residency-selection

People of the US: election day is tomorrow. Voting is harm reduction and small, local elections are the ones where your vote has the highest impact. Go do the thing.

PSA: I've been working on a small new web app to host an opt-in public list of #HCI researcher accounts on the fediverse. I got together with the https://hci.social team and set it up here: https://directory.hci.social

Please check it out and, if you do #HCI, #CSCW or anything along those lines, you're invited to add yourself! 😀 And to follow @directory_bot too.

It's the first public stress test and I kinda expect some breakage. Please contact me if anything doesn't work like it should!

@emilymbender @alex I’m so glad you’ve called out comparisons of ChatGPT to children. I heard that at a round table talk recently and almost fell out of my chair. Great episode!
