Mixed feelings about the speculative plenary at #4S2026 #4SToronto. Some interesting ideas, but I was struck by how familiar the underlying visions of the future felt. Surely a reflection of some deeply shared normative assumptions within STS.

#4S2026 #4SToronto I will be at the "Resisting Generative AI in Higher Education" workshop this afternoon to share a bit about strategies to support disabled students, staff, and faculty beyond the use of corporate tech

At #4S2026? Make sure to check out the Contraptions 3 panel featuring author of Divination Engines, Xiaochang Li, at 1:30pm in the Mezzanine Birchwood Ballroom for a conversation on the history of machine intelligence as a language contraption.

#4SToronto #4s2026 plenary talks. @zephoria.bsky.social and Vass Bedear @canadianshieldinstitute.ca were on fire. 🔥 🔥 Great talks, sharp arguments, important insights. Maybe a little preaching to the choir - but hey, we’re at an STS conference

Why has your face become a barcode? See you this afternoon at #4SToronto for two splendid panels on "Continuity and Change in Digital #Identification Technologies!" I will contribute a thing on #biometrics in digital #payment.
