Excellent article by @profsalwiggins.bsky.social and @bogdanahuma.bsky.social on the interactional and discursive accomplishment of resisting requests (and more) to eat.

And it's OpenAccess too.

Professional societies keep beclowning themselves buying into a lie about what an LLM "summary" is. They are inherently counterfeit: not an epistemic product of the ideas in the source, but summary-shaped text linguistically based on *other* works (in the training corpus) that use related language.

This is one of the reasons I remain horrified by seeing @historians.org suggest "ways to use gAI" that included this:
First column: Ask AI to summarize a book or article in your field. Use this as a starting point for critical engagement Next column: Yes. Next Column: Acceptable without explicit citation.

Had a great time at @lborouniversity.bsky.social for #CAday2025 on Monday 🙇🏻‍♀️ Fantastic conversations about conversation, very interesting insights from my colleagues, and rather useful feedback for my own research. The #CAkeoff was a great addition! 🍰

Comprehensive overview by Deborah Chinn of CA studies of interactions involving people with intellectual disabilities.

Terific synthesis- but shows it’s hard to find direct path to policy, & research is slowing

But need remains

#LboroCADAY2025 - I’ve finally worked out why speakers are putting up QR codes on slides - totally foxed me.

Turns out it gives a link to their transcripts … By some tech magic …

Yes I know I should keep up

Raymond: how do institutions require/allow use of this or that language/language variant?

Officially they permit, but in fact?

CA Day at Loughborough - 15th December - apparently a couple of tickets have become available.

Get there if you can for great presentations, great chat and of course the chance to compete in the CAke-off #CAkeOff2025

Maybe group I as the group of death, or death-adjacent: France, Senegal, Norway and (? Iraq).

But certainly the sheer number of games will dilute interest, in some groups to homeopathic levels.
