I don't think this is exactly right. My guess is that a lot of AI art will be similar to what has happened in the clothing industry: technology speeds up production, benefitting consumers. Only enthusiasts will care if something is made by hand or not. Will give examples. 🧵

i’m in a film studies class this semester on documentaries related to genocides and with every reading we read i feel like i’m getting closer to being able to fully articulate the thoughts i’ve been having about the Internet’s role at this current moment, and how it diffuses— yoona (@TabiOrNotTabi) February 9, 2024

So IDEO largely built its marketing around the idea that The Designer is a higher-level thinker who can sift through all of the mass-produced junk that was rising up as a result of automation and find quality. This was rooted in racism and was doomed to fail... (thread)

I keep seeing people talk about the Meta Glasses & “the next iPhone moment” THE NEXT IPHONE MOMENT IS NOT IN THIS WAVE OF HARDWAREWe are returning to hardware multiplicity.

Enjoyed this article about trippy Insta self-help graphics but seems odd that it doesn't mention the lineage of these motifs / their connection to wellness being rooted in the design of '70s works like the Whole Earth Catalog, Be Here Now, small self-published New Age texts etc.! https://t.co/HKGJ8fFdBh pic.twitter.com/7BcRZ5YAdV— Elizabeth Goodspeed (@domesticetch) February 11, 2021

“Why does it seem like the more inner work a person does the less likely they are to maintain a relationship”

this is a perfect example of a traumatized person using other-oriented framing as a shield/to mask pain, and a valuable lesson in strawman vs ironman readings of trauma responses + the toxicity of outrage algorithms📜 pic.twitter.com/VBD7BfEs7M— hegelian vs predator (satire) (@rachelisonline) May 29, 2023

people were still buying music and the mp3 ecosystem that apple’s ipod marketing was driving millions of people to embrace was an incredible promo platform for indie stuff. everyone was going for it because success meant something: you could do 33k first week on warp. not anymore https://t.co/rE1pS46TP3— jaime brooks ☭ (@elite_gz) May 23, 2023

“our entire system of expert authority is built on circular references where the strength of the network determines the strength of the argument this is the basis of citation numbers, impact factor, etc. it's also the basis of the original google pagerank algorithm”

the metric replaced the thing we wanted to measure, and instead of recognizing this fact and changing the metric to match what we *actually* wanted to measure,we ended up in an arms-race between those tweaking the metric and those gameing it— James Rosen-Birch @provisionalidea@bsky.social (@provisionalidea) November 5, 2021

The issue of respectability in dress, and what constitutes "proper" attire in public, has raged for as long as people have worn clothes. People who take this position fail to recognize that their own clothes were once the "yoga pants" of their day.

I'm really surprised that no one is actively talking about what an America run by the GOP looks like. We can see it in deep red states right now, and it's horrifying. 1/n— Brynn Tannehill (@BrynnTannehill) April 18, 2023

“A recent small medical issue has highlighted how much someone needs to disrupt Google Search. Google is no longer producing high quality search results in a significant number of important categories.”

LLMs are highly non-deterministic, which presents a huge design challenge: we've never built non-deterministic software, it's always been based off of branching logic and restricted options (hence: the GUI)— Neal Khosla (@nealkhosla) February 25, 2023

Libs of TikTok is a bad faith viral rage conduit. You know this. I know this. They know it. But she and her followers spin it like they have no idea what they're doing and how dangerous it is. They'll say things like "she's just reposting what other people say! How is that bad?"— Kat Tenbarge (@kattenbarge) November 28, 2022

(2/5) Today, I got to publish what I see as the big picture around that story. 🖼️ It's about an entire movement quietly taking off in tech & VC circles of people who believe it is their DUTY to fill the earth with their genius children... to save humanity.https://t.co/fty0lhW6f9— Julia Black (@mjnblack) November 17, 2022

In 🎞🎥movies, which unfold chiefly in time, you think in "edits"/"cuts"/"shots".In 🖱🖥UIs, which unfold chiefly in space, you think in "containers": content-filled boxes to rearrange.Thanks to tech & cultural advance, our units & their composition are getting way richer. pic.twitter.com/I7IbHWalgX— Eli Parra (@elzr) September 29, 2022
