I recall this too, it was called the Panel Pledge in 2015-ish, but I'm not sure it has survived the past decade I see I blogged about it in my 'how to avoid manels' post but couldn't find a link then ideophone.org/how-to-avoid...

If it can be done fast and/or mindlessly, it is not really problem solving.

No, thank you! My students all shared the same reflection "We didn't know!" While some people see this work as policing, they lack the understanding that it is our responsibility to provide actual scholarly work and tools to promote critical thinking for our trainees.

We discussed @olivia.science @irisvanrooij.bsky.social and other colleagues' "Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia" in my class today. My students told me that they didn't have this type of clarity about "AI." We need to introduce our trainees to the scholarly work.

I'm extremely excited that @brianwwl.bsky.social has started his postdoctoral researcher position in my lab. Dr. Wong will bring his expertise to our behavioral and EEG experiments. After some challenging two years (and feeling like the squirrel below), I'm grateful for my community.

Two big reminders: TAPA is a tool. No one leaves a tapas table and lets the kitchen decide. Same for TAPA, a trained phonetician is always needed. Moreover, tools are not replacement for funding for researchers. We need funding and we need it urgently!

Dr. Ethan Kutlu @ethankutlu.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Tapas is meant to be shared with friends and community, TAPA is the same. It is meant to celebrate the diversity of voices.

Similar to the tapas culture, we created small bites for this big problem. The toolkit does #diarization, #transcription, forced alignment, and it moves onto the next step of #vowel formant, #VOT, and #fricative spectral moment extractions.

Dr. Ethan Kutlu @ethankutlu.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Do you work with production data? We have some updates for you. My students and I developed a tool that was accepted for publication in Behavior Research Methods. The tool is called: TAPA (Toolkit for Acoustic-Phonetic Analysis). Yes, the name is influenced by the tapas tradition. #speechscience

Seeing group of men (philosophers, engineers, cognitive scientists) finding each other in their shared hate of women experts who work and think outside the(ir) mainstream. Patting each other on the back for mysogynist dunks & mischaracterisations, while thinking they are smart and doing noble work.

Pretty confused ab the coming @cos.io changes to OSF. looks like they’re phasing out “projects” (ie where u share/store code, stimuli, etc) which has been a keystone for our replicable pipelines: the info recreates our manuscript, figs, analyses, etc & lets u do ur own. Open science at its best! 1/4

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

New preprint! So honoured to have worked with Ishani Ray on providing vital critique on "AI literacy" & correctives for those interested in understanding why "just use the newest version of an LLM" is nonsense Contra Literacy-Laundering: Mechanistic Critical AI Literacy doi.org/10.5281/zeno... 1/

Critical discourse on large language models (LLMs) has bifurcated between epistemic dismissal that invokes some form of the stochastic parrot metaphor to puncture hype, and pragmatic accommodation that treats LLM capability improvements as grounds for updating the critique. We argue that both misdiagnose the problem as the issue is not whether or not LLMs work, but what kind of working is happening and at whose cost. Drawing on meta-theoretical frameworks of cognitive science, feminist labor analysis and critical pedagogy, we propose a conceptual reorientation. We develop this claim through registers of (i) the cognitive, examining what is forfeited when statistical pattern-matching substitutes for the iterative, grounded processes that constitute thinking; (ii) the pedagogical, examining how “AI literacy” as currently deployed is itself a symptom of the confusion it purports to address; and (iii) the political, examining how the infrastructure framing of AI naturalizes asymmetric labor displacement, particularly of feminized cognitive and reproductive work. The stochastic parrot, deployed with mechanistic precision rather than mere rhetorical convenience, specifies what is forfeited when cognitive labor is delegated, who bears the cost, and why a literacy adequate to this moment must begin from the epistemology of those most harmed by the systems it describes. We conclude with underlining that critical AI literacy, which this paper embodies an instance of, is the only sensible way forward.
