First time experiencing @Starlink Wi-Fi in the air on my @AerLingus flight from Dublin to Chicago - amazing experience! ✈️🛰️ Fast, reliable 200 MBPS Wi-Fi at 35,000 feet is pretty incredible.

Incredible deep dive into Honey from @megalag - safe to say we won't be working with Honey ever again

LLMs are useful, but they are an off ramp on the road to human-level AI. If you are a PhD student, don't work on LLMs. Try to discover methods that would lift the limitations of LLMs.
Yann LeCun tells PhD students there is no point working on LLMs because they are only an off-ramp on the highway to ultimate intelligence

In our lab (and probably in many other labs) there are discussion on alternative publication venues for HCI work. Here is our list with journals and conferences: uni.ubicomp.net/hci/ (the list is not comprehensive nor does it endorse the venues ;-) @svenmayerhci @mimuc
