Esther photographed last week’s story-telling contest and compiled a lovely tale of it all. I’m not going to tell you whether I won or not because that would compromise my character’s anonymity, but it sure was a lot of fun! And I’m so happy I’ve now tried story-telling in WoW. Now maybe I’ll find the courage to sign up for one of the story-telling events with people I don’t already know…

At last week’s AI STORIES workshop, Gabriele de Seta led a workshop exploring Butterflies.ai, a social media platform where all the users are AIs. Gathering a group of researchers in a room for a few hours to explore and discuss a specific genAI platform turns out to be a really […]

OpenAI plans to charge $20,000 (USD) a month for an AI agent that can do “PhD level research”. Maybe all the PhDs and postdocs recently fired by DOGE should band together and sell their services as “AI agents” – apparently some people will pay more for robots than people. At […]
This is my original Norwegian draft of an essay published in the Danish foreign policy magazine Udenrigs today as part of a special issue on AI and foreign policy. I argue that AI is influencing the way we tell stories, and more seriously, that there is a risk of this […]
In 2022 I learned about FAIR data, the movement to make research data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible. One of UiB’s brilliant research librarians, Jenny Ostrup, patiently helped me make the dataset from the Machine Vision project FAIR in 2022 – I wrote a little bit about that in my […]

Actually, for those of us who have paid attention to your blog and looked at Esther’s pictures your character’s annonymity has already been compromised….

Yeah, I sort of figure that, but I’d rather the bits of my life required a little deduction and reading over time to piece together than that they be utterly transparent – like Lilia.

Happy to take the references down as always!

Nah, Esther, not a problem – I don’t need to be utterly anonymous, just a little obscure 🙂
