@cfrauenberger Thank you Chris! Think I'm in a state of denial about such a big move and leaving the fantastic @hcid but it's exciting to be going to Design Informatics and Edinburgh!

MSR is seeking a 2024 postdoc, and it could be you! Do you study the sociotechnical systems we depend on for work or play, the communities grappling with them, the polit+economic forces driving their deployment or governance, or how they inflect race, gender, class, or sexuality? Join SMC - @tarleton, @nancybaym, Mary Gray, @zephoria, superb postdocs + predocs, in a unique research setting. https://socialmediacollective.org/2023/10/19/smc-postdoc-2024/ At #AoIR2023? Ask me, @nancybaym, @ZoeGlatt, or Ryland Shaw about it. App due 12/1

The institute I’m joining next month at University of Edinburgh is looking for a Chair/Prof to co-lead Design Informatics. I think this could be an opportunity to build something new and I’d love to use it as a chance to establish a space for critical and justice oriented thinking around technology. Please get in touch even if you just want to talk the idea through.

Some illuminating recent research on carbon emissions from ML/AI models; by
@SashaMTL & Alex Hernandez-Garcia.

Image classification and Q&A seem to be big contributors.

Unsurprisingly, greater emissions from 'deep' models and from the Global North.

And greater emissions do not produce proportionate improvements in models.
