I wonder if the robot that was the phone-based “Caroline” at UNC is now working for Apple Intelligence.

I don't ask my undergrads to read Gillespie's book on DRM, but the speed bump metaphor he uses resonates with them.
A car speeding toward a speed bump, illustrating how built-in infrastructural interventions like speed bumps are designed to regulate user behavior, embodying control within sociotechnical systems. An ambulance struggling to cross a speed bump on a flat road, symbolizing how infrastructural constraints can inadvertently impede critical or unintended uses, reflecting Gillespie’s analysis of systemic trade-offs in technological design. Two skateboarders encountering a speed bump, one leaping over it while the other struggles, representing how users interpret and navigate designed interventions differently, resonating with Gillespie’s focus on user agency and diverse experiences within regulatory systems. A small magnet under a road, subtly distorting the road’s structure above, metaphorically highlighting unseen forces of regulation and influence in sociotechnical designs, akin to Gillespie’s exploration of hidden mechanisms in digital and physical infrastructures.

Agree. Have a Lewis everyone.
Adorable tri-color aussie in the back of a car with paws crossed looking slightly impatient and like he knows more than you do.

That's all?
Screengrab of the sentence: The average American consumes 41.8 pounds of cheese per year. We asked Harvard Chan School nutritionist Walter C. Willett about the health impact.

Did not know this was a thing.
“A text excerpt discussing the concept of the ‘liking gap,’ which refers to the tendency for people to underestimate how much others will like them after a conversation. The text explains that we also underestimate our own enjoyment of social interactions, leading to avoidance of face-to-face conversations. It emphasizes that while avoidance may be understandable, genuine meaning-making in life requires confronting discomfort, with no shortcuts or ‘hacks.’ The convenience of AI is mentioned as potentially disrupting this process by offering quick answers and a false sense of control. An exploding head emoji (representing mind-blown reaction) appears next to a sentence that is highlighted, "psychology research has identified a fascinating phenomenon called the ‘liking gap,’ which describes how we underestimate how much others will like us after conversing with them.”
