You know what I really wish re: my university's ChatGPT contract? That it had token limits or something. I think a useful lesson would be to have to decide what LLM uses are "worth it" in order to fit into a limited amount. Trying to think of a way to simulate this in my AI & Society course.

If you are understandably bummed that you can't see The Odyssey "as Nolan intended" because you don't live anywhere near one of the 41 70mm IMAX in the world, rest assured that living near one also doesn't mean that you can see it haha. www.denverpost.com/2026/07/27/c...

Denver’s only 70mm IMAX projector breaks down again, stranding ‘Odyssey’ viewersIt has become something of an odyssey for Denverites who want to see “The Odyssey” in its 70mm, IMAX-scale format.www.denverpost.com

Today I spent an hour going through all of my email for the month of July, and hit “reply” on anything lingering that I needed to reply to or required action. I now have 48 emails sitting in my drafts. 😭 Everyone in my inbox: I am SO sorry. I am trying, I really am…

Last week I gave the closing keynote at the CRA Annual Summit, and my my talk was "the case for ethics at the core of computing as a discipline." Anyway, the day before the conference started this was in the NYT crossword puzzle! Awesome to have the universe on my side!

Conversation with my 73 year old dad: Dad: you know I've been using that 'Chat GTP' a lot lately, I don't even use google or bing anymore Me: as a search engine? Dad: yeah, you can ask anything and get the answer right away without having to click anything! Me: but you know it can be wrong?

A common Q I get on social media is: how do I get into tech/AI ethics as a field/for a job? I would love some help with this! What is some helpful advice here that (a) is not about academia or even research really; and (b) doesn't involve getting a PhD?

I might have been the lead example in the New York Times, but in the Denver Post I get to be the official face of very stupid NSF grant terminations! www.denverpost.com/2026/07/19/c...

Colorado academics worry about future of scientific progress amid fallout from Trump’s research cutsMore than $375 million in federal grants to Colorado schools have been terminated and reinstated — or axed altogether.www.denverpost.com

Not going to pile onto that editor more, but I’m legitimately confused: When people say they use ChatGPT as a search engine do they really also mean for simple things like typing in the title of an article to retrieve a URL? I’m genuinely curious why?

So I just got probably my fifth email this year from another AI startup focused on citation verification (wanting me to do ads for them). This time as I was looking at their website (tagline: "Write your paper with 100% correct references") I thought... wait, why do we actually want this? 🧵

Depressing that ACM is probably correct about this: "AI-assisted literature reviews ... are already changing research workflows. Publishers absent from AI ecosystems risk becoming repositories of record rather than sources of influence." cacm.acm.org/opinion/now-...

If anyone would like to write a dissertation about my social media comments I have some theories. But the funniest phenomenon right now is the number of men who are leaving comments I’m 90% sure were written by an LLM, I guess… to sound smart? Because they had no thoughts of their own?

Just have to share that I've had a video go slightly viral, and three different people have commented to compliment the placement of Enshittification on my shelf, which I find particularly impressive since he text is mirrored because I film with my front camera. :) /cc @doctorow.pluralistic.net
