The US-led corporate flurry to get rid of language that suggests inclusivity leaves me wondering what will happen to tech industry art. The common ”Corporate Memphis” style is strongly anchored to the appearance of inclusivity and diversity. Is e.g. Facebook now busy with a new CorpFash look?

Going for a run in Tokyo at night is one of my favorite things to do. Keeping videos like this going in the background (think log-fire DVD) is a decent substitute: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB6K...

IMO this is true for all of science. It's one of the three ways we are doing science wrong: petterhol.me/2025/02/09/e...

I channeled my inner Marvin Minsky to give a different perspective on AI science. It ended up being about how our lazy attitude toward our language stops science from its (utopian-level) full potential … and stuff. petterhol.me/2025/02/09/e...

This is the same graph (e2) in Gephi (Yifan Hu) layout, which goes to show that Gephi should implement Picasso.

5-6 years ago, I coded Picasso's "constellation drawings" (1924) into adjacency lists for network fans out there. It's about time to share them publicly: github.com/pholme/const... Disclaimer: They are probably pretty buggy (see the Readme)

Six (!) times today, I've encountered people and AI talking about career moves as "embarking on a journey." Yes, it's a fitting allegory, but . .
