Game of the year! In Öoo you play a cute little caterpillar trying to escape the labrynthine intestines of a monstrous bird using only the bombs in your butt. Trust me, play it. The design of this four-hour puzzle game is just flawless youtu.be/tSJyHEjyGuA?...

Leaving aside all the ethics of AI fashion models... did no-one look at this before printing??? Just try to work out where her knees are and how they're connected to her feet and hips. Bizarre to choose a zigzag dress that's just going to emphasise any weird contours too
I thought the worst thing about it was the ridiculous hyper-airbrushed texture we’ve come to expect from this nonsense technology and then I saw the actual full ad and apparently this fake woman made of environmental ruin and stolen art is about eight feet tall

I think I forgot to post this in the travel chaos, but I spoke to @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social for MIT Tech Review about AI, creativity and more, as part of a big feature on how AI is affecting our creativity. I think we have no idea, basically.

How AI can help supercharge creativity
Forget one-click creativity. These artists and musicians are finding new ways to make art using AI, by injecting friction, challenge, and serendipity into the process.

one of the highlights in the issue is this from @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social on how AI can be co-opted to help supercharge creativity in unusual ways. I want to go to an algorave! www.technologyreview.com/2025/04/10/1...

Yes yes yes! This is hands down one of the best things I've read about AGI, the techno-fetish that's once again grabbing mainstream attention
in this week's newsletter we explore why a small backlash is mounting against the larger a.i. backlash of the last year or so maxread.substack.com/p/the-ai-bac...
