Time for re- #introductions!
I am a PhD student in cultural anthropology and I work on the processes through which software is developed for humanoid robots. I also pursue an undergraduate degree in computer science.
Apart from this, two colleagues and I have started a project on safety in ethnographic fieldwork, and I have become a big fan of generative art!
I have a website where I document most of my academic activities, check it out if you are interested: tamaragupper.de

What a narrow victory for “Representations of AI – Why we need to do better” as the topic of my presentation at #summerschool! Thanks so much to everyone who responded to my survey, it really makes me happy to see that you are interested in several of the topics I am working on. Hope to see you all at summerschool!

So excited that #summerschool is back! What topic would you like to hear about from me?
I am a cultural anthropologist working on the programming processes through which software for humanoid robots is written. And a fan of generative art.
Two hours left for the survey regarding the topic of my talk at #summerschool, and there is a tie! Thank you so much to everyone who has already participated, if you haven’t voted yet and would like to hear one of these talks, vote now!

The thing about large language models like GPT-3 and Lambda describing the experience of being self-aware is they can also describe the experience of being a squirrel.

I signed up to present at #SummerSchool. I did it last year, and I believe that these kinds of informal conferences are just as important as the formal ones.
I proposed a talk called "Potentially illegal amateur radio transmissions" about one (of the many ways) we can rethink the #AmateurRadio hobby to meet 21st Century needs and 21st Century people.
I have written a new blog post! This one is about my first hybrid art project, in which I have written code that generates images and then used one of them as a template for an acrylic painting. Check out my blog for more infos: https://tamaragupper.de/blog/

Found some generated bugs, overflowers and funky fingers in my post box and absolutely love them <3 Thank you so much @bleeptrack , they will decorate my laptop from now on :)
Is there an official name for the fear of sending a mail to a mailing list? Mailinglistophobia?
Last weekend, I held a 40-minute lecture about robots for kids aged between 8 and 12, followed by three different activities for the kids to further engage with the topic. Check out my blogpost if you are interested in what we did and how it went:

Currently preparing my lecture about robots at a children's university this weekend. Very excited to talk to 8- to 12-year-olds about what robots are, how they work and how we already live with robots today. And hoping they'll like it of course!
