Sunday evening the mountain rain runoff took Mission Creek in Santa Barbara to its limits around Haley St. But the rain backed down and so did the creek level. Many residents in the area were alerted. (Photo: Santa Barbara Police).

I was on this very interesting panel on ChatGPT a couple weeks ago. It is now on Youtube and I thought it was very informative. UCSB Center for Responsible Machine Learning youtube.com/live/Lz1-n4tUF…

Yes!!!

I recently had the lovely opportunity to Interview my mentor and friend Dr. Judee Burgoon for ICA Podcast Network. Give a listen if you want to hear how she got into the field and developed EVT. …itects-comm-scholarship.transistor.fm/episodes/archi…

This is sheer insanity 👇

An American professor (wrongly) assumed his students were using ChatGPT for their assignments.

He ran the assignments through ChatGPT and asked if it had written them.

ChatGPT (falsely) said yes.

He failed the whole class.

Rant: I can’t understand why they take your perfectly good passport away while they process your new one. Does the DMV take your drivers licence away while they process your renewal? No. Things really coming down to the wire for #ICA2023 . Not sure if I’ll make it there.

Happy to be invited by the Communication Department at UCLA to give a talk about my research. Their new PhD program seems to be off to a good start.

On #ICA23 hotel availability:
The 4 night minimum will be removed after the first week; we do this to preserve the block for those with longer stays, such as students and those who come long distances (from global south).

Booked my room and flights for #ica23 . Who else is going to be in Toronto?

Manuscript rejected after 3 months because the journal couldn’t find ONE single reviewer. I hear this is an increasingly common issue across journals.

Academics, if we’re not supporting each other to move our fields forward, what are we even doing?
