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?

#AI video generation tools can now generate full videos from text with dialogue, sound effects, and surreal realism. But it comes with risks and energy costs. Dr Mike Cook (@mtrc) from @kclinformatics explains the new tech. @KingsNMES

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.

What do you get if you cross Claire Morwood with an advent calendar? Hmm. There’s no punchline here. Maybe it’s behind today’s advent calendar door… I'll put a link in the reply.

I log into @advent_js each day to post about the latest calendar door, I routinely find I've forgotten to switch back to this account the next day. I have functionally left this website even if I've not done so literally yet. Bluesky is pretty okay.

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

It is just so sad that the #NeurIPS2024 main conference ended with such a racist remark by a faculty when talking about ethics. How ironic! I also want to commend the Chinese student who spoke up right on spot. She was respectful, decent, and courageous. Her response was
