skglas Ich finde es eine sehr, sehr nette Idee, dass bei Flugzeug-Service-Mechanikern jeder verdammte Schraubenzieher eingravierten Mitarbeiter-Namen hat. Warum kann man nicht jeden Code-Block an einen Programmierer Namen ketten? Dessen Informatik-Uni wird dann bestraft.

@wellformedness I also love (many things about) in-person conferences but yeah, I think we need to do less of them than before the covid.

via Twitter for Android in reply to wellformedness

SeeTedTalk @texttheater very much agreed. the BIG 5-6 day conference which includes part of the weekend is very much a result of the need to travel to such events. i understand we needed to stick to that for virtual events in the short term, but see no reason for it longer term...

The horror of thinking that after the pandemic, my field might go back to traveling around the world for conferences all the time like it's normal

via Twitter for Android

Could we perhaps replace conferences with frequent synchronous online one-day events? Pick and choose based on topic, format and time, still allows for networking with people with overlapping interests, not as exhausting...

ojahnn Neat how the panel at managed to move from "Should GPT-3 have free speech" to "how do we train our scientists to talk to journalists to reduce AI hype". That's a much more helpful question to ask/answer.
