Loughborough CA Day started out wa::y back in 2007 as a local, friendly get-together of like-minded interaction analysts.

It's now a global, friendly get-together of like-minded interaction analysts.

People fly or dial in from all over the world.

Still great fun.

#EMCA
It's nearly time for CA day!

I'm so:::::: looking forward to the **18th** year of #EMCA @darg-sessions.bsky.social @lborouniversity.bsky.social having made a tragic diary error last year and missing it.

Here's the registration link and terrific programme:

A virtual shoulder to lean on?
What does it mean for a chatbot to give comfort and support? How do ChatGPT and Claude handle opening with a problematic pre-telling? See the whole sequence in the thread. Thoughts? #emca #openingsAndClosings #GenAI #conversationality

#EMCA threads by @lizstokoe.bsky.social are BACK!
"'How are you?' These are the three most useless words in the world of communication."

This compelling (but wrong/daft) assertion is based on #communication myth rather than how we actually talk 🧐

And asking "how are you" can even save lives...

Dear, Apple Intelligence! Interaction does not deliver information, it delivers action.
(slightly rephrased Levinson 2010).

Merely summing up the "information" is not helpful. AI needs to understand social behavior. #emca FTW!

With all the new people arriving here from #Threads: Could you please start by following @ap.brid.gy?
That's the opt-in for your account to be bridged to #Mastodon & the #Fediverse (meaning, people from there can follow you).

It broadens your potential audience & opens up #Bluesky.

Please share!
