researching play, experience design, machine learning, cognition, making, and games. I hold hands with strangers. 💜🕹 Typos promised.🛼❤️
Related note I saw a group of film student ladies in my garden in classic form shooting on super 8 yesterday.
Leopard coats ✅
Red lipstick ✅
Laying on the ground half dressed in the sun looking impossibly beautiful ✅
This gave me more faith that the kids are ok than anything I’ve seen in years. ❤️

Finally getting around to playing with the open source models in ComfyUI and it’s making me feel really creative again. I have so many days of footage I can play with from my archive I’m excited to see what weirdness I can create with it.

I'm pro machine learning and against AI slop, closed models, and theft. Great stuff is happening but just not where you might happen to be looking, and like anything, sustainable pro-humanity solutions are not always incentivised. We have to work together to create a sustainable AI future.

Tonight I got this little momma, the sister of the first cat I recused. Both these little girls were pregnant and as adorable as they come. She is at the Celia Hammond trust. The security guard caught her for me finally right before the building are demolished.

Today I rescued the sweetest cat who is under a year old living in a site to be demolished in a week. We couldn’t take her but she’s at Celia Hammond Trust in Lewisham if anyone wants a Calico with a personality that is pure love. Her name is, at present, Phoenix. I’m 💔 but our house it full up.

AI is amazing - just not the AI that big tech is trying to convince you to surrender all your data to use. There are other ways to do this that rock. You can run and train models locally that are open source and ethical as an artist. Exhibit A - Wekinator www.wekinator.org

Novel interaction has never been more obvious. So many similar diy interfaces appear again and again on social but never seem to come to market or really change our locked in form factors. We need to ask for more from our technologies.

Something anyone who lived through being a gg target implicitly knows…
“This transaction represents something fundamentally different: the acquisition of cultural influence and soft power by sovereign wealth, marking gaming’s transition from a pure entertainment product to a strategic geopolitical asset.”
Electronic Arts' $55B buyout doesn't add up
Power and prestige over profits.

The best philosophers of the 21st century are the technologists. Technology is political and social vision made manifest. If you want a better reality, right now you need to be coding like life on this planet depends on it, because it does.

Note to self - when writing papers in computing, do not assume reviewers can understand using puns to collapse meaning and instead will accuse you of not being able to spell... I used the word reimaging and they thought I misspelled reimagine. 🫣 Gods save me with this field.
