Bluesky is labelling this post as "Sexually Suggestive", which it absolutely is.

HOWL x Dirty Weekend: Sex in the Age of AI (18+) | Barbican Panellists Leanne Elliot Young, Dr Benjamin Weil and Kaiden Ford with Samuel Douek tackle the question of what the future of intimacy looks like now that we have artificial intelligence?

If you're at a loose end in London this Sunday, come to an entirely NSFW panel on AI and sex. I'll be joining as a panellist, rail replacement buses permitting. Part of Dirty Weekend at the Barbican. www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/202...

Threads is entirely entitled people screaming "Do better!" at each other.

None of the talk about how harmful social media is for kids balances that with a discussion of how useful and beneficial it is for them. It helps with loneliness, is a source of friendship and of information, and helps them find solace when their ‘offline’ lives are harmful or miserable. 1/4

Au contraire.

I now get these kinds of emails, mostly from people who are in love with their AIs, who tell me "I didn't find you; my AI did." It feels somewhat weird, like being machine-stalked.

Just finished 5 days of a work-hard-play-hard event and now find myself physically wrecked but mentally buzzing, just in time for a 2 day project meeting which will reverse this state. This is also an explanation as to why I'm not answering your email.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

The entire field of AI ethics (est. prior to the Dartmouth summer research project of 1956) would like a word.

Unconferences are my favourite. The beautiful serendipity of it all.
