As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back

You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

The challenge is people find deep thinking uncomfortable. AI doesn't just replace thinking, it soothes that discomfort. It's less a tool and more a cognitive sedative. A comfort blanket for the brain. Feels great to externalise all that thinking. Too great! That’ll be a hard habit to kick for many.
Boiling here at home in Cyprus but I put the finishing touches a couple of days ago on this preprint: What Does 'Human-Centred AI' Mean? doi.org/10.48550/arX...

Wherein I analyse HCAI & demonstrate through 3 triplets my new tripartite definition of AI (Table 1) that properly centres the human. 1/n

If someone says to you, "what are you doing about students' use of AI?" ask them, "do you think that this should be my problem? How good do you think my response can be? Should it not be up to legislators & administrators to defend against a commercial industry's attack on your child's education?"

Alerte rouge : mon copain a récupéré un sac rempli de cadeaux de Noël dans le TGV Paris Valence, qui appartient à sa voisine de siège qui l'a oublié en partant à la gare d'avant. Elle doit être bout de sa vie, merci de faire passer 🙏🏻

remember when blockchain was going to get integrated into every game whether you liked it or not?

how it was going to solve true ownership, pay you money to play, put swords from one game in another, make Mario jump higher?

some of the biggest companies were on board! They did NFTs!

how’d that go

easy to feel demoralised seeing all these game company CEOs talking about genAI but remember a bunch of rich people will lose a lot if we don’t suddenly develop an unquenchable appetite for slop so they’re actually the ones on the back foot and have every incentive to lie about everything

Reminder: resolutions can be fun! You can resolve to try a new cheese every week, eat all the weird fruits you’ve been curious about at the grocery store, or commit to watching 12 different classic films.

Why make crappy resolutions when you can make happy ones

This whole 🧵 though.
I think this is why fascists love AI art, not because it is good, but because it is bad. Not because it is original, but because it is stolen.

To make art as an expression of skill and craft and humanity reinforces humanity.

To push a button that steals art and call it your own is domination.

‘Sitting under the mistletoe
(Pale-green, fairy mistletoe),
One last candle burning low,
All the sleepy dancers gone,
Just one candle burning on,
Shadows lurking everywhere:
Some one came, and kissed me there.’ ~ Mistletoe, Walter De La Mare.

Abundance of Christmas 🧵
Over a decade ago I had an existential crisis over the meaning of Christmas. Buying, gifting, consuming… it all seemed not only meaningless but also stupid. I couldn’t reconcile it and just resigned myself to doing it anyways. But this year the meaning became clear.🧵

Think of AI instead of cigarettes here. Nothing is inevitable.
this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

What discourse is this referring to? My least favorite, I'm sure, but actually it applies to all of them!
I hate "it's not going anywhere" and "it's here to stay" inevitability language

It's not brave or bold to latch onto something you've been convinced is powerful, it's cowardly & pathetic

Things don't just happen to you. Surrendering your agency to avoid the fight at all is spineless, not wise
