After some research and experiments I came to the conclusion that it was feasible to design a computational-robotic system, without AI, capable of automatic drawing. In my practice I started producing various experimental drawings with pen plotters and algorithms,... 1/5

I am so, so tired. And I know you are, too.

Here's “Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on the ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution, it became a hospital.
Plasterwork of a skeleton blowing bubbles set against a pale blue wall.

Erich Fromm once wrote a book called Fear Of Freedom.

Here David Graeber relates some of Fromm's ideas to the modern world of work.

this is a lot like glamorizing the kid with leukemia doing a lemonade stand fundraiser to pay for his treatment. when the dust settles let's pass a law criminalizing the romanticization of reactions people have in desperation to a broken society and an intentionally anti-human economy.

Uma das razões de passar cada vez menos tempo por aqui é a repetição, ter de repetir os mesmos argumentos, vezes sem conta, outra vez e outra vez... chega nem a ser conversa porque ninguém se ouve. Lê-se para argumentar, e não para compreender.

Grateful to The Verge for publishing my essay on why large-language models are not going to achieve general intelligence nor push the scientific frontier.

Is language the same as intelligence? The AI industry desperately needs it to be
The AI boom is based on a fundamental mistake.

If one model is transparently manipulated, you should assume the others are manipulated — just more skillfully.

Grok is sloppy about it.
Other companies are subtle about it.
The only difference is competence, not intent.

Don't you just love it when brands perpetuate outdated gender patterns in their products? And, obviously, we all cook our meals naked.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”
