Phoning it big time with a *checks notes* Bing-generated speech for an anniversary celebration??
🫠
Not gonna lie, this is actually an *iconically checked-out* way to navigate life with AI instead of … being a person!
Unlock your creativity. Ask the new Bing to help craft a speech to celebrate an anniversary. Join the waitlist now. msft.it/60115zVz9
ALT A snapshot of the new Bing answering the prompt, “Write a speech for my parents’ 25th anniversary”. Bing’s response begins with, “Sure, I can help you with that. Here is a possible speech for your parents’ 25th anniversary.” A possible speech follows.

Q: What are your favorite resources for running big-picture collaborative planning sessions with a group?

Some resources I’m looking at/thinking about:
Platform Coop resources: resources.platform.coop/topi…
Stuff like facilitator.school/templates is cool but also looking for something broader/more holistic than just a set of exercises/templates.

Excited to share this talk:
Tl;dr: VC-backed walled-garden research tools are unsustainable & foreclose advancing the craft—but researchers + ops practitioners are in the right place at the right time to push software companies towards openness & interoperability
Let's do this!
New on ResearchOps-Community Medium: @CaseyG's amazing article “Interoperability, Openness, and Research Ops”
A must-read for thinking through research tooling requirements – complete with an ‘Open Research Platforms Evaluation Cheatsheet’!

Incredible investigation into how universities hold the key to turning Governor’s Island into the next Hudson Yards,
by skirting contractual language around “no full-time residents”,
and competing for a new “climate solutions” campus which greenwashes the larger shopping mall.
Governors Island is a bucolic mid-harbor escape from NYC.
Very soon, it will be home to an office park, with a hotel and up to 200 parking spots.
Who asked for this, and why?
My new investigation for @HellGateNY.

If you are taking notes anywhere else — why?
