Leaving aside all the ethics of AI fashion models... did no-one look at this before printing??? Just try to work out where her knees are and how they're connected to her feet and hips. Bizarre to choose a zigzag dress that's just going to emphasise any weird contours too

I thought the worst thing about it was the ridiculous hyper-airbrushed texture we’ve come to expect from this nonsense technology and then I saw the actual full ad and apparently this fake woman made of environmental ruin and stolen art is about eight feet tall

I think I forgot to post this in the travel chaos, but I spoke to @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social for MIT Tech Review about AI, creativity and more, as part of a big feature on how AI is affecting our creativity. I think we have no idea, basically. www.technologyreview.com/2025/04/10/1...

How AI can help supercharge creativity

Forget one-click creativity. These artists and musicians are finding new ways to make art using AI, by injecting friction, challenge, and serendipity into the process.

My *third* time on @scifri.bsky.social but first time recording in the NYC studio! Hear me and @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social bring AGI conversations to reality and talk about the issues that really matter, like who controls the power behind AI.

Science Friday@scifri.bsky.social · last yr.

Tech companies are racing to develop artificial general intelligence, or AGI, that could match or surpass human abilities. @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social and @ruchowdh.bsky.social join us to discuss AGI and its potential impacts on society.

The act of coding, like sketching or rubber ducking, is also an act of thinking through something. Prompting an LLM might also be a thinking process, but we have to reflect on what each approach helps us with. I think differently while taking notes than just turning it over in my head.

One reason why I'm not using AI tools for coding is that I already have a way to tell a computer what to do: by writing code. All the thinking that is part of coding can be spent by arguing with a language model or by expressing myself in a programming language.

“Waste is anything that the person who’s speaking thinks is not a good use of government money.” Really good explainer: @jamesodonnell.bsky.social talks to the people who wrote the spending guide that Musk is now misinterpreting. www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/07/1...

These documents are influencing the DOGE-sphere’s agenda

Past government reports on improper spending are having a moment with Musk’s followers. What do they show?

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

DOGE Teen Owns ‘Tesla.Sexy LLC’ and Worked at Startup That Has Hired Convicted Hackers

Experts question whether Edward Coristine, a DOGE staffer who has gone by “Big Balls” online, would pass the background check typically required for access to sensitive US government systems.
