While reviewing for #CHI2026, I noticed four new writing issues, likely due to increased use of LLMs. I describe them here - and how to fix them: dbuschek.medium.com/when-llm…

My latest for @latimes: I travelled to southern India to document the rise of the AI "arm farms" — where young engineers strap GoPros to their foreheads and fold laundry or pack boxes to teach humanoid robots how to do chores.

El Foro Económico Mundial identificó las habilidades básicas para 2030 que marcarán el futuro del trabajo. El cambio más relevante: muchas competencias que hoy son fundamentales comenzarán a perder protagonismo, mientras emergen otras ligadas al pensamiento crítico, la tecnología y la adaptabilidad.
Entre las más destacadas:
🔹 Alfabetización tecnológica: comprender cómo funciona la tecnología será tan importante como saber usarla.
🔹 Pensamiento analítico y crítico: interpretar información, resolver problemas y tomar decisiones con criterio.
🔹 Curiosidad y aprendizaje continuo: aprender a aprender será la competencia clave en entornos cambiantes.
🔹 Resiliencia y flexibilidad: afrontar la incertidumbre con equilibrio y capacidad de adaptación.
Tenemos ante nosotros el reto de incorporar la tecnología como la IA en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, así como fortalecer las habilidades socioemocionales y aportar experiencias que preparen para aprender aún ya siendo profesional.

Hi HCI friends! @pamwis & I are writing an article on what it is like to be an HCI researcher in a traditional CS Dept (e.g., resources & support needed for us to be successful). If you would like to join this effort, please PM us. We hope this will be a collaborative effort 😊

Advances in Multimodal LLMs
In the last couple of weeks, we saw a spike in multimodal LLMs (MM-LLMs) research papers.
Among these publications, there was a nice comprehensive survey summarizing 26 existing MM-LLMs.
It also includes training recipes to enhance these models, insights, and some promising research directions.
It's incredible how easy it has become to tune and augment these systems. This is also thanks to the recent open-source efforts around MM-LLMs, including datasets, benchmarks, and models.
