If you can't see the limits of AI, you aren't good enough at what you're doing.

The next few years will come down to which path we choose: Will we design AI to challenge our blind spots, or just to reinforce them? Will we scale garbage or take the time to get it right? medium.com/authority-ma...

TOMORROW 12pm — @scsp.bsky.social AI Unlocked, Alamo Drafthouse (Theater 3) | What Geese Taught Me About AI: Surprising Lessons in Creativity & Collaboration

DC Friends-- hope to see you there! It's a really awesome lineup of speakers.

i think we should get weirder with it.

Me in my natural habitat (adhd goblin + studio chaos)

asked AI to mimic me mimicking a goose. it gave me a rainbow duck.
simulacra goose is now featured in digital america.
on mimicry, misrecognition & systems that don’t quite understand us:

Thanks for having me— a lot of fun!!

What does it mean to trust a machine with the act of becoming? Simulacra Goose explores AI as a speculative tool. I ask it to generate music as if it were a goose, compose movement— finish mine— as if it had a body. The result is a recursive dialogue of mistranslation.

Shame can take away the value or potential of dark moods + emotions.

We feel bad about feeling bad because we’re made to feel it’s our fault… choose happy works when you’re happy.

Loved this new Overthink ep on Dark Moods—

I am grateful to my friend and colleague David Peña-Guzmán for this interview at the wonderful Overthink Podcast! It was great to be able to expand on some of the key points of my book on AI with such a nice and intelligent interlocutor.

"It sounds incredible that this is compatible with the First Amendment. A constitutional right has been canceled," he said. "How can the government decide what words a journal can use to describe a scientific reality? That reality needs to be named."

I asked ChatGPT to create a @newyorker.com style cartoon illustrating Searle’s Chinese Room thought experiment…

a non-thinking machine trying to illustrate the concept of a non-thinking machine… 🤖

People like to think of AI as this magic/mysterious black box. Thinking about AI being used to understand nonhuman animals…

As it’s being used to decode animal language (a la Project CETI— amazing), we have to remember AI isn’t neutral— it’s full of human assumptions.

"The rights-of-nature philosophy shifts the value of nature away from its ability to provide resources for extraction to its capacity to sustain life."

I like asking AI weird questions— like what are the ethics of becoming a goose? My work explores speculative AI, human-nonhuman relationships, and perception.

Expect speculative art, experiments in the posthuman realm, and a bit of goose philosophy. 🌀🦢

Let’s get weird.
