I realized too late that I gave someone incorrect directions on the metro this morning, and I haven't been able to stop feeling bad about it all day 😭 Sorry bruh, I hope you made the right connection 😬

My article "The ratings panel from participation to personification: Nielsen and the big data reconfiguration of the audience" is out in Convergence I draw on years of research in the trade convention circuit to make sense of the way this legacy company is using AI across their product suite Link👇

The Hollywood Conference affirmed my love of small, thematic conferences. I saw so many inspiring talks, and there was enough downtime to have actual conversations with people I have known for a long time and with people I just met here. I hope there will be a second iteration. #HWC2025

Netflix has removed all of their interactive content from their site bc interface incompatibility. Those films/shows were culturally important nodes in the evolution of television/interactivity and digital storytelling strategies. This is the archive problem that the digital creates

They were also against automation cause they knew that all it would do was leave them penniless while the owners get insanely rich. The owners said that no, we’ll use the profits to uplift the whole community, esp the workers we replaced. The luddites knew this was a lie and stood up for themselves.

I am *begging* people to look up the actual history of the Luddite movement with it being bandied about everywhere. They weren't anti-tech, they were anti-exploitation, anti-Industrialist, pro-worker safety textile worker radicals who disabled factory machines that were maiming and killing workers.

Curtailing people’s ability to read widely and carefully, to locate, assess, and compare different sources for themselves, and to write in their own voice about what they find and what it means, is arguably more effective than censorship. It is also one of the most obvious effects of generative AI.
