If in Cologne next week, come along to this at the Kölnischer Kunstverein studios on Wednesday. I'll be showing some works in progress with Alrun Aßmus, Christopher Gerberding, Olga Holzschuh, Aida Kidane, Lis Schröder and Laura Sundermann. There will be wine and it's next door to the Neu Cöln fair.

I went to the Louvre once and enjoyed it but honestly if I was there and a bunch of French investigators rushed in and said “Sacre bleu! there has been a heist!” I would have had a much better time and would have given it five stars on everything

I call this the reverse Turing Test. If an LLM is producing something passable, it doesn't mean the tool is intelligent, it means humans were being asked to write something meaningless
ChatGPT is spitting out mostly meaningless fluff that kind of sounds like polished copy to someone who’s not a skilled writer or editor. I admit that’s enough to get by in a lot of email jobs, but I don’t believe you when you say ChatGPT is good at writing.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:
Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Europe must move quickly to change facts on the ground. Release frozen Russia assets to rebuild Ukraine, send peacekeepers, implement a war tax. Russia is weak and the US is imploding. The EU is facing a COVID like break where it has the chance to transform and lead

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

You’re not going to get your creative project off the ground if you’re afraid of being seen as cringe by friends and strangers. Cringe is unavoidable, just do the thing you want to do
people over 30 quote this with some life advice for the rest of us?

The latest episode of my radio series Sonic Fictions, "As Night Draws In" was live today on 674.fm. This episode is inspired by the writing of Wendy Trevino and her collection "Cruel Fiction," which posits that sometimes you have to burn things down to rebuild.
