I had similar thoughts when social media was emerging.

Here is a doing that is being done at a massive social scale and there’s an essential quality check component that is missing.

This has implications for both the technical correctness and the aesthetic qualities of what is generated.

Many (most?) genAI users cannot effectively evaluate what they have generated.

It depends on the user and the task. But a good chunk of all genAl tasks are sufficiently specific to require expert or esoteric knowledge to evaluate.

I'm curious to see how the annual meeting this year in Copenhagen will unfold.

Will Americans show up? Will international scholars in America (who risk not being able to re-enter) do so as well? What about scholars in European universites?

For some, Canada (e.g. ASAC) might offer an alternative.

Respectfully disagree. I like negative spaces in storytelling (see Andor S2 for a well-executed example). Not everything needs to be explained "in canon".

I’m not ashamed to admit that I log out, then look.

Next year, ASAC is going to be held in Calgary, May 22nd-25th 2026.

Alberta is gorgeous this time of the year, and Banff is like an hour and a half drive away from Calgary. Hint hint.

Maybe it always was and I never noticed. ASAC gave me major EGOS vibes, and I mean that as huge compliment.

I'm principally interested in agency, and who has agentic cut here.

Trivially, theres difference in how much the scholar can "look in the black box" by doing the programming themselves, but in this era of libraries/packages I'm not sure even the r/python mavens really know whats under the hood.

Reading papers by members of the division is always a great place to start, but you're probably already doing that!! You may enjoy listening to a podcast hosted by Jan Recker and division chair Nick Berente: www.janrecker.com/this-is-rese...
