Hey folks - what do you all do when a journal is extremely behind on reviewing your manuscript? Do you continue to wait, do you email an editor, something else?

Really looking forward to seeing folks at CHI next week in Barcelona, where I'll be presenting two works and the amazing Shivani Kapania will be presenting a third (all of which are already available for free on my website):

I am in the process of revitalizing the existing queer special interest Slack space (Queer in HCI). Given that the space had previously existed but has died off, I want this space to be useful for our community. What would make a Slack space for queer HCI community members useful, in your opinion?

I definitely encourage any folks to email or DM me to stay in touch! I have a long list of folks I need to (re)connect with following the conference over the next month, but first: my official move to Sony AI Barcelona is in less than two weeks 🇪🇸 Hope to see everyone at CHI next year!

Unsurprising, but reading things like "It is acceptable to engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual" and "It is acceptable to create statements that demean people on the basis of their protected characteristics" in actual corporate guidelines is just horrendous.

I am curious if anyone has started to do research on this area. I've seen a lot of news articles on "AI psychosis" recently.

Morgan Klaus Scheuerman @morganklauss.bsky.social · 11/08/2025
The use of AI for emotional support is... unsurprising. After all, social media has played a role in making our culture more isolated, it makes sense people have turned to AI chatbots for emotional support and even friendship, especially when companies seek to profit off AI/human relationships.

How can ethical principles translate to the massive data used to train foundation models, like generative AI? Our #CSCW2025 workshop aims to explore how best to define the future of ethical responsibility in large-scale datasets for foundation model training. Apply here: tinyurl.com/CSCW-data

AI chatbots have been rolled out across 100s of white-collar workplaces but their effect on hours & pay has been negligible accrdg NBER. On average, employees saved 3% of their time, while just 3%-7% of their productivity gains came back to them in the form of higher pay fortune.com/2025/05/18/a...

Study looking at AI chatbots in 7,000 workplaces finds 'no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation'
Despite AI’s promise to revolutionize white-collar work, most workers are using it sparingly—or hiding it from their boss.

Morgan Klaus Scheuerman @morganklauss.bsky.social · 17/03/2025
Question for researchers - when writing your rebuttals, (1) do you emphasize what you will do or (2) do you make changes and then emphasize that you have attended to the review? Which method would you consider more convincing to reviewers?

"AI technology appears to outperform humans. But a closer look reveals that these games are rigged. The competitions do not actually ask machines to perform human tasks; it’s more accurate to say that they ask humans to behave in machine-like ways as they perform lifeless simulacra of human tasks."

That is fair - I also imagine a lot of work in this space is currently in those cycles.

Morgan Klaus Scheuerman @morganklauss.bsky.social · 26/02/2025
I really wonder why. There's no way that people are not doing this work. Are they all publishing elsewhere (CHI, GROUP)? Are too many reviewers anti-FM (esp. LLM) research?

Morgan Klaus Scheuerman @morganklauss.bsky.social · 26/02/2025
It's super interesting to me how little work on foundation models has been done in @acm-cscw.bsky.social at this point... (esp compared to CHI) I think there's a lot of important socio-technical work to be done in this space, and yet it is currently sparse in the social computing community.
