ChatGPT launched three years ago. Now the web is filling with slop.
We can rewild it, but we'll need to get creative...

Today I’m launching The Human-Made Project, a simple and decentralized way to label creative works as being made by a human, not by AI. thehumanmade.org

The new P.O.S album (with Dwynell Roland x YATA) is fantastic! P.O.S performing at his best, but with a very different sound palette. Some Danny Brown X Hyperpop vibes at times.

“Design is in the White House,” says Joe Gebbia, the billionaire Airbnb co-founder who helped decimate government services while working for DOGE.

Digital service agencies like 18F were already doing this important work until they were gutted by *checks notes* DOGE.

We need more honest language:

Theft Tech (AI)

Grift Tech (crypto)

Death Tech (automated weapons and military surveillance)
"theft tech" is a term my pal @astra.bsky.social thought of just today when we were working on our book about these End Times Fascists.

We were thinking about what should happen when this this bubble busts, as we all know it will.

Remember: they have bunkers. We don't. 2/3

Back from a weekend-long unconference at the Chabot Space Center. Slept on cots, met a ton of folks, & got some time in nature. I pitched a panel over dinner and led it an hour later in an unused classroom, and it ended up being more exciting than the one I’d spent a month preparing. #chasingwonder

Unknown graffiti tag on a metal sign. What really sticks out to me is how the paint pooled up on certain parts of the sign, but is extra dark and even in other parts. It almost looks glitchy or digital. #sfgraffiti #graffiti

Super excited for #chasingwonder this weekend and to see some of my favorite homies. It’s a tiny unconference where the best stuff is usually unplanned. I'll probably pitch a talk on the Human-Made License project. I'd love to meet new folks, so please say hi if you are there too.

This might be the most iconic #yoyo freestyles of all time.

Filmed yesterday, at the #WYYC in Prague, Hajime’s winning 3A performance stood out for its bold use of ambient music, with the crowd's reactions filling in the quiet spaces.
