I am frustrated by how all machine learning has been conflated into this heated AI discourse
There is good DH work that’s being dismissed as "AI slop" when it shouldn’t be
The ubiquity & (political, economic, social, technical) power of these tools mean scholars *must* understand & teach them+

@hfalcke I have just spent (too much of) a day sorting my cables out. I did.... cull some. It was hard, but necessary

5/ There's something potentially interesting here about this technology space, about new interface metaphors & maybe even new OS's & ways of interacting with computers.
For those saying that these headsets are isolating - yup its true. Now pause & take a moment to reflect on all the people with […]

4/ I can tell you that an #AI upscaled and 3D converted video of your child riding their bike without stabilisers for the 1st time, takes you back to that moment in a way the original video does not... Why Apple didn't lead with that I do not know.

2/ I'm particulaly struck by the way that #AI is part of the interface. Leaving aside the toxic and troublesome #enshitification aspects for a moment (hard I know) - there's some really interesting uses of the technology on display here.
