Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, has a plan to overhaul college education — by embedding its artificial intelligence tools in every facet of campus life. If the company’s strategy succeeds, universities would give students A.I. assistants to help guide and tutor them from orientation day through graduation. Professors would provide customized A.I. study bots for each class. Career services would offer recruiter chatbots for students to practice job interviews. And undergrads could turn on a chatbot’s voice mode to be quizzed aloud ahead of a test. OpenAI dubs its sales pitch “A.I.-native universities.”

Every future imagined by a tech company is worse than the previous iteration.

Toller twist fuer wordl :D

haha yeah its a lot less interesting when it costs more than nothing

Part of what makes this art (an 'unreadymade' as I call it) is, unlike a screenshot of a chatgpt error, not just that it highlights LLMs being unfit for use, but what it reveals about the new forms of technical practice where people choose to engage in traditional work in an absurdly careless manner

Readymade | Tate Tate glossary definition for readymade: Term used by the French artist Marcel Duchamp to describe works of art he made from manufactured objects

These are ‘unreadymades’ (to play off of readymades). Accidental occurrences of functional artifacts that, through inherent flaws of modern technical practice, come into existence already cancelling out their own useful functions in a spectacular, ironic, etc. manner that turns it into art.

Thanks!

Where is that quote from? :)

Worth a watch:

Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

yeah; generally the ticket was a massive plus for everybody as well. so sad they ramped up the price.

this used to be 9 euros and was legendary because the punk community decided to „invade“ the fancy islands up north

As a software engineer, you must always (ALWAYS) design your software as if it'll be used by a dissident journalist working in an autocracy.

Had to redownload instagram for some public story announcements and its incredible how intoxicating this app is. This is not ironic nor meant as a compliment. Insane how it ruins screentime. Cant wait to uninstall again.

Red Dead Redemption 2, in its insistence to prominently display horse testicles, continues the tradition of the 11th century Bayeux Tapestry, in which all depicted horses are stallions with very visible genitals, emphasizing the capability, control and masculinity of the riders. In this essay I will

Y’all remember google glass? Y’all remember what killed it? And it looked way less goofy than holding your phone up to record like people do now. But it failed because the social contract at the time (and still) said you don’t semi-surreptitiously record people in public unless you’re a creep.

Technologies, even widespread ones, do not *necessarily* determine social norms and goods. If you can’t stop a social harm on the level of force/physical coercion (technology) you can often stop it on the level of consensus (custom, norms, law, governance).

I think there is another angle to this as well: I am always a bit saddened by the "ideas are not valuable and hard" part too bc in my experience, good ideas are seldom too! but in their goodness lies the urge to MAKE them, not just handoff them to a stochastic parrot.
