Isn't that cool 18881104

Ian Anthony @sociananthony.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Otter.ai is great imo. And it is improving rapidly, which is both scary and helpful.otter.aiOtter.ai - AI Meeting Note Taker & Real-time AI TranscriptionOtter.ai uses an AI Meeting Assistant to transcribe meetings in real time, record audio, capture slides, extract action items, and generate an AI meeting summary. 000

Reposted by Ian AnthonyCarl T. Bergstrom @carlbergstrom.com · 22/11/2024When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit. Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention. Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?" 13480151233

Ian Anthony @sociananthony.bsky.social · 17/11/2024This is mildly embarrassing for a field whose focus is (almost) entirely about inequality. (Important side note: I skipped ASA this year because poor) 000

Ian Anthony @sociananthony.bsky.social · 04/10/2023So far, my favorite part of blue sky (and maybe Twitter too) is seeing established academics post dgaf types of posts which often make little to no sense versus junior academics trying to create community. Something interesting in the grist, indeed. 010

Ian Anthony @sociananthony.bsky.social · 24/09/2023I think it’ll be a slow trickle with a few big splashes but I think the model here in comparison to the bad practices there will end up making this the new place for significant networking and conversation. I think it’s just a matter of time. 110
Ian Anthony @sociananthony.bsky.social · 24/09/2023At the end of the day, I think it’s about engagement. Why move to a new site when the one you’re on already has the network? As much as we all want to switch for the “right reasons” the social incentives aren’t there yet. But I think they will be soon. 100
Ian Anthony @sociananthony.bsky.social · 24/09/2023I know I’m late to this party but as I get set to teach this, I just want to take a moment to say how excellent and useful I found this book. Are Jessica and/or Mario on Blue Sky yet or are they still trapped on the other site? #sociology 170

Ian Anthony @sociananthony.bsky.social · 24/09/2023This makes a little more sense. This obviously depends very much on the kind of institution you are are at but I am very interested in a list of departments and their sabbatical policies. 010
