Augmented Reality is transforming vision itself. Wearable hardware like AR-enhanced glasses will accelerate this transformation, enabling computers to model and interpret everything we encounter. After receiving early access to Snap’s AR Spectacles, Modem collaborated with creative studio oio to explore this new way of seeing — prototyping an interface that lets us interact with the world by simply looking at it.

Abstract. Algorithmic Modernity explores key moments in the historical emergence of algorithmic practices and in the constitution of their credibility and autho

Welcome to Butopia

How AI misrepresents culture through a facial expression. "For the diversity of human expression to survive algorithmic hegemony."

Her new organization, DAIR, will raise the alarm about how AI is being deployed today and use AI to speak truth to power.

The long read: Artificial intelligence in its current form is based on the wholesale appropriation of existing culture, and the notion that it is actually intelligent could be actively dangerous

The very first citation in this stupid letter is to our #StochasticParrots Paper, "AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity, as shown by extensive research[1]"EXCEPT— @timnitGebru@dair-community.social on Mastodon (@timnitGebru) March 30, 2023

Okay, so that AI letter signed by lots of AI researchers calling for a "Pause [on] Giant AI Experiments"? It's just dripping with #Aihype. Here's a quick rundown. — @emilymbender@dair-community.social on Mastodon (@emilymbender) March 29, 2023

Signatories including Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and Tristan Harris are asking AI labs to pause building AI more powerful than GPT-4.

The Hypermarket of Information Happy New Year… Sorry for being away for two months. I have been working hard and absorbing so much stuff that I’m excited to...

Workers’ fear of new artificial intelligence technology makes sense: that technology has the potential to eliminate their jobs. But if we didn’t live under capitalism, AI could be used to liberate us from drudgery rather than hurl us into poverty.

It has only been a little under four months since ChatGPT came out, and yet I already feel super behind in publishing this story. I guess…

Conversational AI agents for the advancement of new eroticisms.

On the occasion of For Your Eyes Only, curator Domenico Quaranta discusses machine vision, operational images, and the future of human visual culture with Antonio Somaini, professor in film, media, and visual culture theory at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle – Paris 3.

I’m teaching Machine Learning at Pratt Institute’s School of Information this semester (syllabus here). For the first day of class, I wanted to have a sort of physical or paper-based exercise that demonstrates the concept of machine learning to people totally new to the subject. I experienced this non-computer-based approach to introducing computation through Zach Lieberman’s coding class at the School for Poetic Computation, where we started off by playing the Human Fax Machine Experiment which revolves around the concepts of encoding and decoding. How does one apply this approach to machine learning? There are some very intuitive digital introductory material that illustrate neural networks or decision trees, but I wanted something more tangible.

Artist-in-residence programs are epic opportunities for artists to take their work to the next level. These programs provide artists with the opportunity to

Mawf is a DAW-compatible VST plugin developed by the Speech, Audio and Music Intelligence team at ByteDance for music producers and musicians. It uniquely combines a synth, creative effect and machine learning engine into an easy to use interface for synthesizing and exploring new sounds

Key Thoughts Designers tend to care about people as people. Instead of just as prospects or customers. Design as a field has evolved to speak more machine, more scale, and more $$$s. A lot of work …

Machine Bias explore the unconscious bias built into AI systems and map potential strategies for a more inclusive tech landscape.

Formstack Form - Processing Fellowship 2023

I am a cognitive scientist researching human behaviour, social systems, and responsible and ethical Artificial Intelligence (AI). I recently finished my PhD, where I explored the challenges and pitfalls of automating human behaviour through critical examination of existing computational models and audits of large scale datasets. You can read my thesis here.

C/Change invites interdisciplinary teams and individuals around the globe to submit concepts for interactive prototypes that articulate a vision for the future of online cross-cultural exchange.

With this write-up, I want to outline my current thinking around large language models like OpenAI's chatGPT.
