Four years and over 150 episodes... That qualifies as a substantial first season, you think? Welcome to Season 2 of Robots on Typewriters, where nearly everything is the same. Except the album art. And the theme song. And a few other things. batcamp.org/podcast/episod…

I'm thrilled that Heloisa agreed to be our final HCI@UCD seminar speaker of the year. Her work is so creative and interesting, and she's a pillar of the ACM CUI community. This is going to be a great talk for anyone interested in CUIs, in design, or in HCI in general!

For the next few days, our timelines are gonna be full of cutesy images made by a new Google AI called #Imagen. What you won't see are any pictures of Imagen's ugly side. Images that would reveal its astonishing toxicity. And yet these are the real images we need to see. 🧵

Amazing discussion today at the CUIs as Entertainers SIG today ACM CUI! Thanks to @lmhclark Maylett27 and Allison Perrone for planning this with me! Want more resources on the topic? Check and edit this list! docs.google.com/document/d/1Vq… and listen to Robots on Typewriters!

Helin Cihan is representing UCD iSchool @hci_ucd very well at ACM CUI! Bilingual By Default is a paper I'm proud to be involved in on a critically important topic #cui2022

Thanks again to our lead author Sophie Becker - another star UCD iSchool MSc student - and to our coauthor @HCI_Punk, University College Dublin PhD student emeritus

So excited to hear Amanda Kann talking about plurilingualism in CUIs, a topic that the community is really starting to focus on. And it was so nice to finally meet each other in person! #cui2022

Proud to see my colleague Yunhan Wu's work being presented at #cui2022, though I'm furious at Home Office for leaving her in the dark about her visa, preventing her from coming to Glasgow to share her research herself.

A bit about a recent paper I was lucky to be involved in, with Anton Torggler and Philipp Wintersberger about how our autonomous vehicles should speak to us. A nifty little piece of research from a talented MSc student at TU Wien and an always insightful professor, now at FH Oberösterreich

Sadly, the time has come to bring Robots on Typewriters to a close. batcamp.org/podcast/episod…

I'm very proud of myself and Allison Perrone for making this show for the last five years and now I'm proud we're ending it. AI computational creativity was a fun emerging niche when we started. Now it's kinda depressing. We'll be back soon to ruin another niche interest!
