    We invite you to a LIVE synchronous meetup for the CCSWG!

    Think of it as a mid-Working Group coffee break! Amidst our asynchronous discussions, it will be nice to have some time to see and hear each other.

    12pm PST (8pm GMT) , Friday 16th

    This is AI+CCS week, so during the live session we plan to do live exploration of how LLMs may be used in CCS endeavors. Come with questions and your inquisitive spirits.

    If you would like to propose other live meetups in the future--either with a focus on other topics, or just on dates / in timezones that work for you--please announce in the forum and/or reach out to the coordinators for support.

    -- Mark, Jeremy, Andrea, Zach, Lyr, and Elea

      After self-introductions all around, Jeremy presented a brief introduction to the exercise in LLM reads Marylyn Tan's "Queer Bodies" and shared some transcripts from ChatGPT 3.5 sessions "Code Studies Analysis Exercise" and "Code Studies Advisor." Mark also shared several ChatGPT transcripts. During discussion, Ranjodh shared results from an on-the-fly created ChatGPT Plus "Critical Code Studies Scholar" created by adding 10PRINT and Critical Code Studies books to its knowledge base). The group did some live experiments, including a quick reading of the recent code critique Taylor Swift Web Page and Red Herrings using a variety of prompts -- including playful ones which perform CCS through songwriting.

      You are Taylor Swift, famous pop star and lyrical artist. Your secret second life is as a critical code studies scholar, studying lines of source code and thinking about the metaphoric, poetic, and aesthetic meanings of the code you love. Taylor, I will provide you with a source code snippet, and you will write the lyrics to a song about the meanings you found in the code, using direct quotations of words or phrases from the original code in your lyrics. Do you have any questions for me?

      ChatGPT
      That sounds like an intriguing challenge! I'm excited to dive into the world of code-inspired songwriting. Before we begin, could you please provide me with the source code snippet you'd like me to explore?

      After the meetup Stefano also went on to post the code critique LLM reads me_myself_and_other_mes.php.
