This is my surprised face (note: not surprised). But it is so much easier to do wellness workshops than to actually deal with micromanagement, not enough staff, not enough paid leave, bloated middle management, myopic policies and lack of vision. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


So this is happening ... it's a bit exciting to bring all of this together!

What underpins this is the disdain shown for staff time. The time allocated for teaching activities is grossly underestimated. Time for research is doing it on your own time or being allocated minimal time. Whole sector runs on underestimates of time actually required for tasks

So often the huge dollar figures universities are stealing from staff are rightly the focus of wage theft reporting. But it's important to never lose sight of the immense individual costs to staff. Please read these courageous accounts in @theage. theage.com.au/business/workp…

Video recordings where eye gaze & gesture are clearly visible are Vital for understanding when & how people come to contribute in interactions, including health and social care conversations Important🧵and 📜for healthcare comms #EMCA scientists & trainers + ethics reviewers 1/

New research on turn-taking by @JudithHoller, Stephen Levinson and yours truly examined the relationship between gaze direction, manual gestures and turn transitions in a richly annotated corpus of multimodal interaction. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.109…

This is what I've been grappling with when it comes to ChatGPT & the enthusiasm that many seem to have for it. It is exploitation plain & simple, questionable to use from an educational perspective & we're not questioning any of it. Just told we're Luddites if we're not for it.

4 ways OpenAI appropriates labor & externalizes costs of ChatGPT: – authors of training data not compensated – workers in Kenya paid $1–$2/hr – those who identify failures not acknowledged/compensated – civil society, academia, regulators left scrambling to adapt/mitigate risks.

In a follow up tweet: And they toned this scene down so it could be broadcast. the original cut was too confronting and violently graphic.

Two things that students need to hear right away, and unequivocally. Enough of the “look to your left and right, two of you won’t finish” scaremongering.

Seen some academics puzzled as to why ChatGPT invents academic references and why its "database" stops at 2021. That's a fundamental misunderstanding of how it works. It's a language model, not a knowledge base. Produces "continuations" not "facts". We need a new AI literacy.
