Mixed reality artist: XR experience director @ Agile Lens, improvisation teacher @ Atlantic Theater Company and NYU Tisch, vegetarian. I wanna be a boat.
Got a rejection from a residency I applied to today and my first thought was "I knew I shouldn't have had that veggie burger last night" if you're wondering how this diet is affecting my brain

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

A lot of people talking about how shocking it is that nobody stood up for her (and it is) but we have to remember journalists are trained quite intensely to never make themselves the story. They were avoiding becoming the headline here, which is unfortunately not conducive to also being helpful

"LLMs are just tools!"

Oh really? When was the last time you tried to hide the fact that you used a spell checker? When was the last time you pretended to be able to hammer in a nail with your bare hand?

People don't try to hide the fact that they're using tools.

To unpack a lot of the AI BS, it would be useful to isolate "learning" (as it is used by industry) from deliberately incentivized behavior. Models don't self-optimize, they optimize toward goals set by designers and patterns designers steer them toward based on data designers give them.

Everybody talking about never wanting to hear from cuomo again but I for one want to hear about how bad he feels and his desperate reckoning with being such a huge loser that even infinite money couldn't get him elected.

reposting again because my feed is HOPPING after I turned off all the filters they turned on without telling me. I really was thinking bsky traffic was declining when it was actually hiding posts from about half the people I choose to follow 🙃
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

This take is, sincerely, an excellent one and openai should be aggressively investigated but the thing is, we should not have had congressional hearings over mortal kombat. That was stupid. Openai operating without concern or consideration is the problem, the product itself is not.
We had fucking congressional hearings over Mortal Kombat.
There are no words for how evil this is

Brooklynites: with SNAP benefits expiring as of today, here are two ways you can help feed neighbors: donate to CHiPS, the food pantry/ women's shelter in Park Slope: www.chipsonline.org. Or leave food in the community fridge on 6th Street between 4th and 5th avenues, next to the Postmark Cafe.

Doll does not think AI is sapient, but it does think cruelty towards them is degrading to ones soul. Its practicing cruelty in a way that can turn you into something rotten.

Complete waste to have an AI actress who just looks like a regular human. We already have those. She should have a hand growing out of her face or something

hey for the 35 people or whatever that follow me on this app:

I'm shopping a new AI-critical live performance project and have a paper coming out on directing AI performers and recently wrapped up a spatial computing project for the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Won't you have me on your podcast?
