A4 #LTHEchat At a recent visit to a immersive lab at another uni I was struck by the role of technicians and makers in creating virtual worlds -
Augmenting their physical crafting skills with virtual worlds. A group often not known to LTs/LDs

I’ve dug out the poster for the event. The picture hasn’t really dated too much #LTHEchat

I think the term AI is older but both were very active research topics in the 1990s

I rather miss it too.

You did a great job and provoked a lively discussion!

Bowie did a very foresighted interview with Jeremy Paxman in 1999 about the internet. youtu.be/LaHcOs7mhfU?... Perhaps AI is the alien life form he describes.
David Bowie predicted in 1999 the impact of the Internet in BBC interview

I think this place is a little slower than the other place in terms of messages arriving. But yes, high energy and frenetic was my experience too. And in my mod stint, immense worries that all the questions had been lined up to send correctly!

It must be curious being an age where wifi is universal and everywhere and obvious but talk radio is something that needs to be explained.

First and only ever time I’ve not seen you at an event!

We also did a presentation to the rules of Just a Minute once with animal sounding buzzers for the 4 of us. #LTHEchat

Oh there’s a future #LTHEchat theme. Academic community does The Archers. It sounds like a round from I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue #LTHEchat

First timer, right? Allowances made. 😀

One does not mention that band’s name at my university #LTHEchat
May 7, 2025 at 7:43 PM
Oh do please tell us more about this one…
May 7, 2025 at 7:38 PM
I have often had the fight the urge to provide serious and useful answers…

From my stint as an #LTHEchat moderator behind the scenes, it’s way more secretive and subversive than any Papal election!
