I will be presenting generative agents during the "Beyond Words" session (the first session starting at 11am) today at #UIST2023. Hope many of you will be able to join our session!
Meanwhile, here is our demo simulation of 25 agents in Smallville: reverie.herokuapp.com/arXiv_…

I was interviewed by @ConversationEDU about my research on attention capture designs, work done together with @ulyngs @a1b3rt0_mr @luigidr @amanda_baughan @smunson @himanshuzade and others

Can social media feeds be optimized to improve long-term value as measured by user surveys? This study looks to find out.
If platforms shouldn't optimize just for engagement, what should they optimize for?
We designed an experiment to test selecting Feed content for long term user value, a collaboration between an international group of researchers and Meta.

Honored that my work received the Dissertation Award from SIGCHI, the professional org for human-computer interaction researchers! Extremely grateful for my wonderful committee @smunson Alexis Hiniker @EricPSB @juliekientz @rcalo and my many collaborators over the past years.
Societal Impact: Shaowen Bardzell, Munmun De Choudhury @munmun10, & Nicola Dell @nicki_dell
Outstanding Dissertation: Megan Hofmann @MeganKHofmann, Dhruv Jain @dj_hci, & Kai Lukoff @klukoff
The award citation states, “Kai’s dissertation has provoked, and will continue to provoke, conversations that have helped the HCI, social computing, and ubicomp fields gain a better understanding of what, exactly, we mean by digital wellbeing and how to achieve it.”

🚨 PhD is nearly done and now looking for a follow-up #job. I need a team that looks for #impact, truly works across #disciplines, and #inspires each other.
My interests are tech law, privacy in apps, maths and ML, digital platforms and political science, and macroeconomics.

I'm excited to finally start my blog, "Welcome to the Job Market!" which (hopefully) answers FAQs about my experience on the #CSfaculty job market. Check it out at sites.google.com/view/elizab…. Thanks to all who have provided feedback and supported me throughout this journey!
Neat work by my colleague @ackermanmaya

@harrybr In switching from the name “dark patterns” to “deceptive design,” why did you modify “patterns” to “design”? Perhaps to capture interfaces that can't easily be described in the style of design patterns pioneered by Christopher Alexander?
Also, thoughts on the wide range of ‘dark patterns’ that have been proposed since your work (e.g., forced continuity or playing by appointment) that are perhaps problematic but not 'deceptive' per se?
