If you can't see the limits of AI, you aren't good enough at what you're doing.

What does it mean to trust a machine with the act of becoming? Simulacra Goose explores AI as a speculative tool. I ask it to generate music as if it were a goose, compose movement— finish mine— as if it had a body. The result is a recursive dialogue of mistranslation.

Dark Moods with Mariana Alessandri Overthink · Episode

Shame can take away the value or potential of dark moods + emotions.

We feel bad about feeling bad because we’re made to feel it’s our fault… choose happy works when you’re happy.

Loved this new Overthink ep on Dark Moods—
thanks @ellieanderphd.bsky.social!

I am grateful to my friend and colleague David Peña-Guzmán for this interview at the wonderful Overthink Podcast! It was great to be able to expand on some of the key points of my book on AI with such a nice and intelligent interlocutor.

US CDC orders pullback of new scientific papers involving its researchers, source says The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is seeking to withdraw all papers involving its researchers that are being considered for publication by external scientific journals to allow for a review by the Trump administration, a federal official told Reuters.

"It sounds incredible that this is compatible with the First Amendment. A constitutional right has been canceled," he said. "How can the government decide what words a journal can use to describe a scientific reality? That reality needs to be named."

People like to think of AI as this magic/mysterious black box. Thinking about AI being used to understand nonhuman animals…

As it’s being used to decode animal language (a la Project CETI— amazing), we have to remember AI isn’t neutral— it’s full of human assumptions.

I like asking AI weird questions— like what are the ethics of becoming a goose? My work explores speculative AI, human-nonhuman relationships, and perception.

Expect speculative art, experiments in the posthuman realm, and a bit of goose philosophy. 🌀🦢

Let’s get weird.
