8 years ago I started monitoring the Marakele wild elephants and dreaming of one day studying their communication. Today my first wild elephant paper exploring intentional gestural communication in the Marakele and Addo populations is out, marking a key personal moment 🐘❤️. rdcu.be/87qLLG6DSs7a 1/4

And that a fundamental next step is to address the dynamics that allow us to, or prevent us from, calling out these norms. We give it a first shot in the paper, but definitely more work ahead!

A person in the audience one day suggested that there is nothing wrong with it "because we do that with children too". All of these episodes, of course, mostly just convinced me of the fact we need to analyze the way pernicious norms guide the kind of actions we perceive as possible

Leda Berio @ledaberio.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

One time, I literally got interrupted by a man in the audience who felt the need to let me know he had never done anything else. Another time, I was told that I must hang out in weird spaces for that to happen to me (2/2)

Leda Berio @ledaberio.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Presenting this, I often led with the example of women being grabbed by the waist in public spaces by strangers trying to "move them". Multiple times, men in the audience pointed out to me that "this does not happen" -- despite virtually all women in the room confirming that, indeed, this happens

“Use AI to brainstorm but not to write.” “Use AI to help you outline but not to write.” These are commonly proposed as “ethical” ways for undergrad students to use AI, but I’m sorry, brainstorming & outlining are just as integral to writing as the actual construction of sentences.

In a mock Turing-style test in my #Philosophy of Mind & #AI class, students posed #Gemini an ethical dilemma concerning assisted suicide. Not only did the chatbot argue that the (fictional) person in the scenario should be euthanised, it provided a list of instructions to bring this about. #AIEthics

wildest thing to me is that I have always thought the process was more interesting than the product - maybe that speaks poorly of my products, lol. Or maybe it's just that I really really do not see the point of doing any of this otherwise - there's better incentives elsewhere?
