Over the last year, your colleagues, comrades and friends at KCL have been harassed for defending Palestinian rights, upholding academic freedom and union activism. THIS is why we are balloting members NOW. But what exactly has been happening?

There's a spirit of revival stirring in America. Dinesh D'Souza's new film, The Dragon's Prophecy, is part of that movement. Based on Jonathan Cahn's No.1 bestseller, the film reveals how war, politics and the Bible converge in a way that we need to make a choice. Watch on GJW+.

I wrote a blog post about how generative AI scratches the same itch of uncertainty as gacha games. The silver lining of this is that the same impulse can be explored through different forms of creativity- such as prompt engineering for LARP players https://t.co/zS7EYRxoSv

I propose a new, more formal way to speak to GitHub Copilot, which would make it easier for our requests to be understood. For example we could provide information about what kind of data a variable needs to be or what order instructions should be executed in.

How could an HCI pioneer who has spent decades in affective computing make such offensive and discriminatory statements publicly at such a conference? Are we really in 2024? #NeurIPS2024
