📢PSA: #NeurIPS2024 recordings are now publicly available! The workshops always have tons of interesting things on at once, so the FOMO is real😵‍💫 Luckily it's all recorded, so I've been catching up on what I missed. Thread below with some personal highlights🧵

Taught the first day of "Data for the Rest of Us" and tried an activity I'm calling "We Data." Students construct datasets about themselves in small groups and look for stories in the spreadsheet. A good icebreaker and introduction to the themes of the course. More here:

"I wouldn't suggest anyone breaking into a real library with a crowbar and steal books for [text analysis]. That might undermine your role as a good faith fair use actor. If you didn't have a role in cracking books that've been put on line, using them for fair use purpose is legally irrelevant." 🔥🔥

The lawyers are really bringing it this morning at the IMLS National Forum on Data Speculations and I love it. "There is no principled difference between the fair use argument for text and data mining and the fair use argument for AI. If AI is theft, so is your scholarship." 🔥

Another copyright law pro-tip this morning: What does "published" mean? If copies were made available outside of, like, your family, that's published. Printing out a fan zine and leaving it at the local comic shop? That's published, for purposes of copyright and privacy.

I’ve a piece I'm proud of in this issue,: speculative design for affirmative+effective DHy peer review! Includes my 1st peer-reviewed swear: “I don't give a shit about rigor". (Wait to fight me, including bc I discuss the inutility of debating terms we may define very differently, rather than goals)

Megatherium by the artist George Johann Scharf (1788-1860) which measures a whopping 2.46m x 5.7m - the lovely @andreahart.bsky.social is my scale bar - sandy colour were the parts that Owen had to work with at the time - grey areas show those parts of that were missing (& thus not so accurate)
