TIL that SIGCHI sponsors 28 (!) difference conferences: https://sigchi.org/conferences/
If you were to write a more inclusive history of #HCI, whom would you include?
Context: prepping for my user-centered interface design course, the day on historical foundations is ALL WHITE DUDES: Vannevar Bush, Ivan Sutherland, Douglas Englebart, J.R. Licklider, Alan Kay, Ted Nelson, etc etc...
Who else belongs in this canon?
Are you a U.S.-based #college #instructor who teaches introductory #English or #ComputerScience courses? Do you have a policy on #generativeAI use in your classes? We want to hear from you!
Please consider participating in a brief survey and 1-hour interview about the hopes and fears behind AI (non-)use policies in U.S. higher ed: https://lehigh.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dbya12AjaGicGGy. Questions about the study? Want to chat about this topic? Feel free to reach out (DM, email, etc.).
Hey @ourhcicommunity, I'm trying to bridge my account to Bluesky following [these directions](https://fed.brid.gy/docs#fediverse-get-started), but @[email protected] doesn't show up as an account I can follow. The FAQ suggests this instance may be [blocking Bridgy Fed](https://fed.brid.gy/docs#fediverse-protocol-bot-user-blocked)?
The [hci.social FAQ](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TNzA5mMbkKhluLNVDqhvTkFWV7XzlWoR4ZujSGV0KVA/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.4zbd0os68q6o) doesn't mention anything about this.
Am I missing something? Can hci.social accounts bridge to Bluesky?
Thanks!
#cscw2024 debate Proposition Four: CSCW should accept research where only AI systems are interacting without any humans involved.
Audience initial views on this one are pretty skewed...
#cscw2024 debate Proposition Three: CSCW should desk reject papers that don't have more than one human.
Fwiw, there's no prescriptive guidance about what it means for a paper to "have a human."
Second Proposition: Anthropomorphizing AI systems in a dangerous design choice.
First prompt: Is it possible to collaborate with current AI technologies?
No one thus far seems to be defining what we mean by "collaboration." It's implicit (shared goal, iterative turn taking, etc.), but I don't hear an explicit def'n.
