Computer scientist Greg Nelson and I presented "Following AI's Footsteps from School to Society" at the 2025 UMaine Faculty Institute mycampus.maine.edu/web/uc-facu including the IMPACT RISK framew…

The IMPACT RISK acronym covers: * Infowar (disinformation) * Monopoly (centralization) * Plagiarism (appropriation) * Automation (job loss) * Climate (footprint) * Tainted Data (bias) * Reality Distortion (fabrications) * Injustice (exploitation) * Stereotyping (cliches) * Knockoff Experiences (shortcuts). These downsides are explained in detail in the explainer page at https://AI-Impact-Risk.com. All infographics are public domain so no attribution is needed.

An early morning alone on the banks of the (still young) Isar river some weeks ago... Really more "flow" rather than #WaterfallWednesday, but I just absolutely cherish places and moments like this & feeling so privileged being able to experience these after decades of living in large cities... (each time also a reminder how much we stand to lose...)

Short POV video of a mountain river with crystal clear pale blue water gently flowing. At the beginning of the video some trees are bent over the water, the view then pans to follow the flow with mountains in the background...

Complex three-dimensional rearing environments amplify compensatory plasticity following early blindness
The neocortex has a remarkable capacity to alter its functional organization and connectivity in response to sensory loss, particularly if this loss occurs early in life. A key question is whether this cross-modal reorganization is driven by sensory deprivation itself or through enhanced use of the spared senses. We investigated how different rearing environments shape neural responses in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) of short-tailed opossums ( Monodelphis domestica) , following elimination…

An illustration of formal moduli problems with differential graded Lie algebras
This article provides an exposition to the topic of formal moduli problems, emphasizing its connections with differential graded Lie algebras, and mainly following from Jacob Lurie's DAG X: Formal Moduli Problems. As such, this paper should not be viewed as a presentation of original work, but rather a concise introduction to the subject in the form of a set of organized notes. I hoped to make this paper feel welcoming and insightful for the non-expert enjoyer of derived algebraic geometry, lik…

How Warm-Glow Alters the Usability of Technology
As technology increasingly aligns with users' personal values, traditional models of usability, focused on functionality and specifically effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction, may not fully capture how people perceive and evaluate it. This study investigates how the warm-glow phenomenon, the positive feeling associated with doing good, shapes perceived usability. An experimental approach was taken in which participants evaluated a hypothetical technology under conditions designed to evok…

Impact of particle-size polydispersity on the quality of thin-film colloidal crystals

Impact of particle-size polydispersity on the quality of thin-film colloidal crystals
Size polydispersity in colloidal particles can disrupt order in their self-assembly, ultimately leading to a complete suppression of crystallization. In contrast to various computational studies, few experimental studies systematically address the effects of size polydispersity on the quality of colloidal crystals. We present an experimental study of structural order in thin films of crystals vertically dried from colloidal dispersions with a systematically varying polydispersity. As expected, …

From Flat to Feeling: A Feasibility and Impact Study on Dynamic Facial Emotions in AI-Generated Avatars

From Flat to Feeling: A Feasibility and Impact Study on Dynamic Facial Emotions in AI-Generated Avatars
Dynamic facial emotion is essential for believable AI-generated avatars; however, most systems remain visually inert, limiting their utility in high-stakes simulations such as virtual training for investigative interviews with abused children. We introduce and evaluate a real-time architecture fusing Unreal Engine 5 MetaHuman rendering with NVIDIA Omniverse Audio2Face to translate vocal prosody into high-fidelity facial expressions on photorealistic child avatars. We implemented a distributed t…
