Another top class item, rich in insight & discernment on today’s @BBCRadioScot Sunday Morning: @evepoole & @InsaMaire discussing the shifting possibilities & perils at the turbulent interface of AI & religion. About 70-odd mns in.

Hey @autismfather, my colleague @ErinRaffety and I are working on a grant proposal where Autcraft has been a big reference for us. Your expertise in Minecraft development and Autcraft could be really valuable as a research advisor/developer. Sent you a DM with more details
Call for #minecraftdevelopers #javadeveloper!
We also thought @Inventivtalent and @Cojomax99 could be really valuable as Minecraft developers for the next phases of the videogame development. Sent you a DM/email with more details

#AcademicTwitter I’m writing a #LetterOfIntent for an NSF grant and never written LOI before: I’m not sure what should go in it, how long it should be, how much it should gesture to larger project beyond planning grant. 👀 Advice?! Thanks! #TWCF @TempletonWorld @drphoenixsingh
I found it challenging to understand what researchers refer to when talking about #realism, #immersion, and #naturalness and the nuances between these.
Thanks to @katjesjes for yesterday's talk at #CHI2022 "We need to give a clear definition of realism"
