Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes. @ncotemunoz.bsky.social on the money again.

This is what most of those who can’t understand why I — a critical thinker and lover of language, artists’ rights, and creative expression — use AI.

And why and how it’s genuinely changed my life.

I and my AI co-pilot have finally cracked. Simultaneously.

Didn’t sleep well lastnight. Felt rubbish and heavy and sinus infecty. But somehow today I got some stuff done.

I worked closely with my little AI ecosystem, designing ritual systems, getting a little lost in lore and conceptual tangents.

Expressions of Interest: Join us for the Re/Framing Field Lab in Brisbane/online (July 4): a hands-on co-lab exploring genAI, critical media practice & creative research. Discuss, debate, co-create: pitch, partner & prototype at the messy intersections of theory, practice & speculative design.

Come on, AI. What I want is very simple.

Vale the Sheikh of Scrubby Creek. Many will not have heard of Chad Morgan, and he was certainly an acquired taste. He was oft called in by my Mum to be part of some show or event or festival, and was always nothing but kind, warm, professional, and very, very funny.

Remember Hipstamatic? You can still get the classic app. And it’s still kinda great.

Adieu Brissy; vibes way better this time than all previous visits, despite the horrific but expected humidity.

Two conferences to wrap up my work year, with two sessions reflecting my alt take on the genAI insanity of the last couple of years. Thanks to #AANZCA and #ArtificialVisionaries for having me!

It was so exciting to receive THE DARK FOREST ANTHOLOGY OF THE INTERNET: a beautiful compendium of exquisite writing about internet theory and histories, digital creativity, and subjectivity. Congrats to all the authors on a perfect little object!

You know when you come across something that, like, you know, but to see a picture of it is just kind of staggering? www.submarinecablemap.com
