Hello there! For my first post on this here social network, here's a new thing I've been working on, a live sampler where you scrub through the sound by pulling a string. It has a filter!

Doing research into color spaces has been fun. I still haven't decided if I'm an HSL or HSV kind of guy.
That said, I'm really struck by this black & white diagram from a patent filed in 1983, showing how color maps to the HSL space (Hue, Saturation, Lightness).

Time to remind people about the Commercial Pattern Archive — it doesn’t have instructions and search is a bear but there’s two hundred years’ worth of clothing patterns in here including all the big names new and old:

When I taught undergrads, I encouraged them to make announcements at the start of class about things they wanted to promote, and I just remembered a kid who would always announce what the flavor of the day was at the ice cream shop where he worked.
I love a kid who enthusiastically participates.

"AI" is a mechanism for a vast deauthentication of work, an enabling pretense for employers to demand more involved performances of engagement and sincerity from workers — i.e. more uncompensated "emotional labor"

think this phenomenon is related to the suspension of disbelief required to enjoy vicarious experiences or parasociality — a way to make a media form into a magical transporter that gives license to fantasy
some interesting historical context re: stories of "chatGPT-induced psychosis" is that when the radio and telephone were invented, there were similar reactions — some people believed they could tune their radio to the frequencies of heaven or received instructions from the dead via the telephone

but it isn't that people are fooled or tricked by media/tech or tricked into subscribing to an ideology — rather media/tech/ideology/hoaxes allow one to believe something to be true and false at the same time, absolving one of responsibility for the belief

also relevant is people's willingness to indulge hoaxes (cf Kevin Young's book Bunk): it's often pleasurable to "want to believe" against reason, and have an occasion to indulge that impulse

What Moore says next in the interview is more important, to me. Nobody is coming to save us, we have to do it ourselves, in community with each other.

Fun fact: before pasteurization became widespread (1920s in the US), milk was a regular carrier of tuberculosis, diphtheria, and typhoid. Before FDA food inspection standards, inferior milk was regularly adulterated with chalk, lead, alum, plaster, and even arsenic to improve its color and texture.

Curtailing people’s ability to read widely and carefully, to locate, assess, and compare different sources for themselves, and to write in their own voice about what they find and what it means, is arguably more effective than censorship. It is also one of the most obvious effects of generative AI.

the most important design rule(s) driving my personal work right now are:
- if it is obvious, do not do it
- if it is hard or boring to do, do not do it
what remains, by definition, are only the easy and non-obvious things. it is hard to describe how fun and rewarding it is to design this way
