Me looking very dumb while pointing at things at two academic events:

1. Pointing at a logits inside @repligate.bsky.social's loom for the "Braive New World" conference at @uni-graz.at
2. Pointing at my poster at @ic2s2.bsky.social last week on improving LLM agentic natural conversation synthesis

A friend and colleague at my lab (the CS² under @janalasser.bsky.social ) is organizing a super nice school on democracy and social media here in Graz!

If you're interested, check it out and share! Link: sicss.io/2025/graz/
