Right now in the #AoIR2024 Digital Good Network round table - i'm just starting work on a really cool project they are funding, around technology and sustainabiity in textile supply chains, thinking about futures of wool!
I'm mostly on bluesky rather than here, but just popping in to say I am at #AoIR2024 having a great time meeting lots of cool people and a full agenda of interesting presentations. Wearing my halloween themed dress so say hi if you're here! And do come and see Sejal present our work on Saturday morning (or online if you're already gone) which muses on smart homes, and technology that supports rather than damages meaning, ritual and embodiement
I'm very envious of all the folks at #AoIR2023 having what seems like a great time! Wish I could have come along. But while I'm here on the hashtag I might as well remind folks about the CFP for the special issue i'm co-editing on AI and Fandom: https://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/announcement/view/131

As more people are starting to trickle over here for obvious reasons, it occurs to me I haven't shared this here, so: I am co-editing a special issue on AI and Fandom, deadline Jan 1st. What questions and challenges do AI technologies bring to fans and fan studies researchers? What should we be concerned (or excited) about? If you have thoughts, please consider submitting! https://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/announcement/view/131
pgcdAnother reason to make sure all your emails have a hidden HX-Clacks-Overhead: GNU Terry Pratchett, and all your code includes #gnuterrypratchett everywhere: think of how many people will inadvertently add it to their own code thanks to GitHub Copilot etc.
