best part of having friends who publish is getting to meet the little simulacra of them that are running on other people’s brains. like oh yeah *we* just met but i’ve had this conversation before with the person who’s currently possessing you. cool new substrate you’ve got there

🧶 "Huggable Data! Making the Ephemeral Last Longer with Textile Dataviz!" from Aldís Elfarsdóttir
‼️ "Grading your Types? From Bangs to Boxes and Beyond!" from @danielle

Program - !!Con 2024

both of these are preludes to longer papers – in particular, we'll also be presenting a full-length paper on the homogenization effects work at Creativity & Cognition in June. detailed thread coming soon!

2. a late-breaking paper with @barrettrees + recent SCU MS grad Jash Shah on evaluating the “homogenization effects” of creativity support tools

(i.e., whether & how much a tool influences different users toward similar creative decisions)

1. an In2Writing workshop paper on the “dearth of the author” effect that arises when short prompts are directly expanded into much longer pieces of writing…

+ some early thoughts on reversing this dearth (toward an AI-supported “abundance of the author”)

i'll be at CHI next week! presenting two papers on AI-based creativity support tools

particularly looking forward to chatting with anyone who's working on AI-supported writing / storytelling

i’m in SF for GDC this week! and talking a bit about Blabrecs at the Experimental Game Workshop on Friday

lmk if you want to meet up & we don’t already have plans

training on the test set is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be… *emergent*
