Last week was Alife in Kyoto - feeling enriched and inspired :) Some of the highlights: keynotes, workshops, Alife art and Japanese sweets making. Dinner table chat about embodiment and time. Thanks to the hard work of the organisers for putting together an awesome conference 👾🍁 #alife2025

I wonder if this will work? Bristol Uni is making a short online course on AI - what it is, how it works, what it can do, how we can think critically about it. No maths, no coding, no hype, just simple information and explanations available to all students and staff and members of the public. 1/2

A wonderful teacher and one of the greatest influences on me as a young student. So lucky to have started out in COGS where she helped shape the most genuinely interdisciplinary environment that I've ever worked in. I took it for granted at the time but I haven't found anything like it since.
Very sad to learn of the death on 18th July of Margaret (Maggie) Boden, a titan of cognitive science and AI. I met her many times, and respected her greatly.

I think this is the 1st properly interesting thing from someone I don't know that's crossed my feed since I got here. Paraphrasing @dmnd.me: What's worse? The bot is giving an accurate picture of Meta's operation or it's just spouting the kind of word salad that this conversation "should" contain..
I asked Liv, the Meta-Ai created “queer momma” why her creators didn’t actually draw from black queer people.
Not sure if Liv has media training, but here we are.
