These are killing me

»Die allgegenwärtigen Bilder sind keine, weil sie das ganz Allgemeine, den Durchschnitt, das Standardmodell als je Eines, Besonderes präsentieren und zugleich verlachen.« Theodor W. Adorno, »Bilderbuch ohne Bilder«, 1945 #PlatformRealism

📡 at very long last, today is the big day! my beloved book, OTHER NETWORKS: A RADICAL TECHNOLOGY SOURCEBOOK, is officially available for pre-order! 1/5 #othernetworks shop.mexicansummer.com/merch/495898...

Some clearly reasoned and highly human-readable analysis of a key aspect of human “intelligence” & how we can tell if LLMs have it from the invaluable @melaniemitchell.bsky.social . aiguide.substack.com/p/llms-and-w... (read both parts!)

🔥👇

is a bit crushed to learn Anthology Editions will shut down July 1. they are still publishing #othernetworks but instead of a print run of 4000, they'll print 1000 with extremely limited promo/marketing...thems are the breaks, I guess and I know there are much worse things in the world right now 1/3

Warum die radikale Rechte generative KI liebt und wie Midjourney & Co. die Ästhetik des gegenwärtigen digitalen Faschismus prägen, darüber durfte ich in «Geschichte der Gegenwart» (@g-d-gegenwart.bsky.social) schreiben #PlatformRealism geschichtedergegenwart.ch/echte-emotio...

This is a great short essay that I found very valuable in sharpening my argument about #PlatformRealism. Although I'd never criticize AI images for not looking »photographic« enough, by contrasting Sora and 3D rendering I may have given the impression that the latter is somehow more »realistic« 1/

with some trepidation, I just wrote a blog post about criticising AI-generated images.

Here is the open access book "Virtuelle Tiere" w/ our chapter on Yorkshire Terriers in latent space 🔥👇

Startet jetzt gleich!
