Doing another #introduction!

I'm a #researcher that uses #ethnographic methods to explore human experiences with emerging #technologies, often forms of #AI, like #robots or #VUI. I'm in a sub-field of #psychology that looks at how people #create & #learn & make #artifacts & am also rooted in #film #theory.

To me #AI is a #communication medium & a #storytelling device. I'm interested in the stories people tell about their #emotional relationships with #tech.

One positive aspect to Twitter's potential collapse is the widespread rejection of "hustle culture."

The blue-check ratrace, grasping for followers, gaming the algorithm — all of that can be replaced with something slower, more authentic, and ultimately more meaningful.

It will be interesting to see who makes the transition and who decides to remain in that old dynamic.

I’m reluctant to say this prematurely… but I have a feeling that the fever has broken. Many challenges ahead in the near and long term, but reality is starting to assert itself: election deniers, crypto, and Russia are all evidencing signs of collapse.

At some point, “manifesting” has to be backed up by facts. No lie lasts forever.
