Last week at CHIWORK’26 Emily Hou presented our paper, “From 911 to Hospital: Challenges and Opportunities for AI Integration in Emergency Medical Services,” joint work with Marelyn Gonzalez, Andrew Kun, Orit Shaer, and me. Feel free to reach out if you are interested in collaboration!

I spoke this week about online misinformation and why protecting our cognition matters. Crises narrow our thinking, repetition amplifies narrow frames, and absence shapes our perspective. These dynamics make societies vulnerable. Real resilience begins with protecting cognition under stress.

Darwin's regrets: "If I had to live my life again I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week.. The loss of these tastes is a loss of happiness, and may possibly be injurious to the intellect and more probably to the moral character"

I used to write “the authors”, and now I keep talking about “the paper”. Recently, it feels like adding “ChatGPT hallucinated here, and here”.

E. g. computation can come in both in forming a system’s “prior” on its environment, and in using observed data to compute more data before carrying out inferential belief updating. And Jaynes’ approach to the latter can be formalized in terms of a system’s resistance to updating beliefs. 11/
