Check out my new article, forthcoming in Critical AI, preprint available here
Also much generative art
Gamers would be surprised to find out that this is pretty much the backbone of modern games.
tiny rec for my fellow graphic design & branding people: NYPL's menu collection. the original 'What's on the menu?' site is gone, but the collection is still available here nypl.org/research/suppo… niche but genuinely precious source material
Stealing this to explain tasteslop
It's never been easier to create things and stuff but never been harder to construct a social or physical context for any of it.
Heraclitus, translated by Guy Davenport
@Bonecondor x.com/no_earthquake/…
kitsch tries to shortcut to the implied aesthetic value of an existing form, slop tries to shortcut to visual or narrative pleasure regardless of form
Similar hopes were pinned on radio, moving pictures, television, computers, animatronics, the internet, etc. The history of ed tech is litany of dashed hopes b/c such hopes are anchored to a doomed assumption: that education is fundamentally an information transfer problem.
It’s shocking to me that LLMs didn’t create an educational renaissance. Shouldn’t I be able to learn a language in a month? What did we get wrong?
Always thought it was cool that Spike Jonze did like a Busby Berkeley-on-skateboards thing edited to Bjork, in Hot Chocolate Still would love to see someone choreograph an even more complex/ambitious version though
They showed us this sequence in my first year of film school and it was one of the first things I remember truly blowing my mind back then
Anyway. I watched the third man. It was a good movie. I have worked 8 days at my new job and it is fun. Life is good!
More than beginner, even. But i also wouldnt be surprised by cynical sell out involvement. Shit happens hey
Do you think anyone with more than an intermediate understanding of aesthetic theory is involved in this kind of stuff? Like does anyone who's read sianne ngai and actually understood her points go, i need to use what i know to Align The Models
We’re excited to introduce Taste Labs. Our mission is to end AI slop. We’re building the data and infrastructure layer to give AI models and agents taste. And today we’re coming out of stealth, announcing our $18.5M seed funding, co-led by @CRV and @AmplifyPartners AI has
the city heaves and stutters like an animal troubled by dreams
A day in Manhattan, warped so that distance ≈ drive time. Drive times swell in the morning and evening rush hour, then contract in the night.
ai slop isn’t ai kitsch and vice versa. kitsch implies a poorly formed attempt at imitation. ghiblified selfies are kitsch. slop can be radically new. short-form-anthropomorphized-fruits cheating vids are slop.
I worry that Wembanyama will get caught up in the distractions of New York City, like the Rose Reading Room at the public library or the upcoming conference on participatory futures at The New School
AI confuses pattern recognition with understanding, statistical likelihood with meaning. It can simulate care but cannot care. It generates text without stakes, answers without consequences. It loves anaphora, where every rebellion becomes smoothed into content. That's what sucks
the em dash is no longer the clearest sign of ai-generated writing. honestly? it’s this.
don't even bother coming over for playtime if you don't know the five characteristics it must have bro
LLMs have convincingly demonstrated that coding is the easiest activity, maths is medium hard, and having taste is the hardest
This is a civilizational struggle between Wembanyama Enlightenment and the petrofascism of the American heartland
one of my feet has red scars (not really calluses) from when we were training shooting single legs months ago and i never picked up my trailing foot. i have a graze under my chin from all the choke defense last wk ... its really fun and i like it :) good sport
its been about a year of training bjj. last week we learned a bunch of cool and interesting chokes and ive forgotten most of it all. yesterday we did takedowns / throws and my favourite was seoi nage. we were meant to be doing it drop style but it was fun just doing it hip toss-y
