A (now-defunct) AI bot makes calls to restaurants etc.

It was apparently pretty successful at call openings, second summonses, uh(m)s that precede a reason for the call, and other-initiated self-repair.

Authors: test actions, not intelligence. #EMCA

Absolutely. Designing a protocol, planning access to respondents /participants, engaging professionally with them, getting a feel for sound & unsound data, curating the accumulating corpus, etc: all essential research skills.

Discovering your data is a lot more satisfying than downloading it.

Fluently done, but did it find the appropriate literature, e.g. Mondada, L. (2014). The temporal orders of multiactivity: Operating and demonstrating in the surgical theatre. In Multiactivity in social interaction: Beyond multitasking (pp. 33-76).

Our paper on how phonetic resources help to coordinate laughter draws on cases of joint laughter from conversations in English, Spanish and Finnish. Here's a summary of some of our findings (which rely heavily on Chafe, 2007), along with acoustic records of a laughter bout in Spanish.
There are three main phases to laughter: the initiating pulse, the exhalation sequence, and a final inhalation (Chafe, 2007). Each phase has its own phonetic potential, with the exhalation sequence being the most complex.

I still get uni emails. Today another about monitoring students' AI usage: 2 pages' worth of guidance, and 4 additional docs attached.

Truly impressed by the level of thought and compassion in colleagues' concern to find ways for staff & students to cope.

But what an extra burden on their time.

Stock plays some disturbing clips of police’s threatening witnesses taking video of their actions.

One result of the threat is to distract the video-er from recording the main action.
