Spent the German election evening painting. Better than drinking I guess? Title: Election night - watercolor on paper

The AI craze in higher education has no bounds and knows no shame.
Today we received a message from our education working group (who are all regular academics, not EduTech hires). An invite to a workshop on genAI and its wonderful uses in teaching, personal tutoring, assessment, you name it. There's the token reference to risks and potential dangers, but the tenor is unbridled enthusiasm.
The invite comes with a picture of this very workshop, which (quick look at the calendar) is still in the future.
The future genAI workshop is being advertised by a genAI image of itself.
My colleagues collectively have lost the plot.

This platform has proved to be pretty quite for me outside of one math meme re-share that went a little viral :).
I'm still checking in now and then but I've set up shop pretty much on Bsky, Cara, and still have active Meta accounts but, that's up for review for sure now.
Links to follow if you find this and are over there.

For anyone using Firefox and wanting to use Google search whilst avoiding the "AI Overviews" I worked up a simple "OpenSearch" engine that can be quickly installed.
This *might* also work in other browsers if they support this OpenSearch definition.
Find it on my website: https://miggy.org/misc/firefox-google-search-no-ai.html

For those interested in my #mapmaking process, I have a Patreon! It comes with an extensive archive that includes #tutorials, #behindthescenes and my ongoing #Worldbuilding Chronicles! Come check it out on Patreon.com/wfgWorkshop

You really dont need any AI to get inspiration for music. Trust me.

I will share what works for me:
Play some songs at the lowest volume so that you can just baaaaaarely hear any sound at all.
Use your brain's amazing ability to interpret almost inaudible songs into a different sound/concept/composition. Your brain will start generating ideas.
works for me.
peace friends.

✨What organization, product, or service
do you know of that have publicly taken a stand against using AI technologies in their work/products?
If they have a Mastodon account,
please tag them! 👀
I dream of one day seeing this whole AI hype replaced with a genuine Privacy hype 💚
Keep fighting for privacy rights until we do.
Yes! This is the way Procreate ✊🎨✨

I've created & uploaded video previews of a few more #LinearMemory variations & recommend the download versions for best quality (HD720p @ 60fps)... The actual piece is a realtime (browser based), endless and non-repeating animation. The only things left now are further optimizations and making it dynamically adaptive to different screen/print sizes...

Healthy radium cigarettes
This one was inspired by a tweet I saw a few years ago, something along the lines of “machine learning is the radium salts of the twenty-first century”. This joke is more relevant than ever; corporations are trying to squeeze “AI” into every role imaginable, no matter that it’s mostly useless and often harmful.

Been slacking posting more art here, so time for a teensy selection of an old generative/evolutionary system from 2014 (then used for my HOLO 2 magazine guest design). Originally written in Clojure, meanwhile ported to TypeScript & Zig, I've kept working on & experimenting with it ever since... 1000s of screenshots and 100s of versions to sift through. Loosely based on research done by Barricelli[1] since the early 1950s, conceptually and aesthetically it sits nicely between my C-SCAPE and De/Frag and has a similarly huge design space to explore (in some versions coupled with genetic programming to evolve cell replication rules)... There's a 1500 word draft blog post from back then too, which goes into more detail and history of this approach. Maybe its time to publish that one too at last... :)

My son liked to post his pixelart on Pixel Studio's Pixel Network and apparently the dev just changed the terms and conditions so that the art you publish can become part of a training dataset for a new AI pixel-art generation app. You can’t even opt-out if you’re using the mobile app. They also started allowing AI art to be posted.
My son is so demotivated by this.
That's how you kill creativity. And I really hope your business too.

No AI. Art finds a way.
