You never know which paper will be the one that stricken the right cord. But Def the idea that if you have a problem others might have the same problem is a good start for a significant paper! League of Legends also scores on nerdland 🤓

somehow the league of legends paper I rage-wrote is now my most cited work and I'm not sure how to feel about this

Ok. I am here reading all the horrible things that are happening in this platform. I had decided to leave, to post on LinkedIn. Now I have decided I will still use twitter but I will only post links that bring people out of here. I suggest you do the same.

I’m excited to share that I’ve recently completed my PhD and started a new position @Google! Thrilled and grateful to be part of a new team working with @twi_mar, Andrea Colaço, and other amazing researchers to build the future of immersive mixed reality.

Maybe now more than ever reputation of the authors will be critical. Institutional reputation. As well as working demonstrations and prototypes. At least until video fakes are also as good. Of course none of this makes sense for theories. Only for practical work.

I asked #Galactica about some things I know about and I'm troubled. In all cases, it was wrong or biased but sounded right and authoritative. I think it's dangerous. Here are a few of my experiments and my analysis of my concerns. (1/9)

Let this sink: the only people who CAN’T leave Twitter are the H1B visa holders who if they lose their job in 60 days get sent back home. It can take decades before they get a GC… No employment-at-will for these people. Slaves of XXI working for the richest man on earth. 🤯

Well well. This was fast. Seeing the own people inside Twitter are also leaving just in case future security breaches don’t put them in jail. I am starting a new account at follow me there.
