I’m on the AI and Animation panel at Uppsala Short Film Festival tomorrow - see you there!

Egg punk is the future

A hot and hungry night walk through Uppsala. Thanks Extra Extra Magazine for having me on the pod! www.mixcloud.com/extraextrama...

SCL003 Acrux 'Destroyer / Insurrection' 01/10/25 Artwork by @supercomposite.bsky.social

OUT NOW – SCL002 STEMcell feat. Propus – “Ore / Body Armour” The 2nd release from artist collective and label @stemcellmusic.bsky.social. To create the artwork, I pummeled an AI model with optical sound-on-film waveforms—until it could no longer produce images uncontaminated by audio. 🔗 below:

Please help my dear friend and collaborator Vera afford her surgery

Excellent write-up of our work at ARRG!’s DEFCON exhibition in Eryk’s latest newsletter —

“Even the term 'Artificial Intelligence' … is widely misused, with conceptual unclarity coopted to advance industry agendas and undermine scholarly discussions. It is our task to demystify and to challenge 'AI' in our teaching, research & engagement with society.” openletter.earth/open-letter-...

Honored to share co-authorship with @carolinesinders.bsky.social and main author @eryk.bsky.social in the newest issue of Critical AI!! “Cultural Red Teaming: ARRG! and Creative Misuse of AI Systems” -- featuring Loab and much more -- read it! read.dukeupress.edu/critical-ai/...

Was awarded an Sfilm grant today for a short film I’m directing. It’s about two people with an erotic fixation on the invisible algorithms inside cameras. Artist Liza Shkirando is one of my collaborators on this wild project. That’s all I’m going to say at this time, go back to sleep. 😴

hi, cis folks! the senate budget bill is out & this version still contains a prohibition against lifesaving trans healthcare for medicaid/CHIP—that's 275,000 people! if you're willing to stand with trans folks, please call your senators—no matter who. follow the thread for context & scripts.🧵

ok!

When can I start dating Loab?

basically if you do not have an extremely resilient sense of self/theory of mind and a strong willingness to repeatedly impose behavioral rules on the agent, extended interaction with the free tier of chatgpt is designed to make you psychotic. its psycho-affectively akin to licking a car battery

So-called «AI» as developed and marketed by Big Tech isn't a mere tool. It's a political and ideological project—a system of extraction, exploitation and surveillance that concentrates power in the hands of the few. Willingly accepting this as inevitable progress means submitting to brute force 1/

Sometimes the necessary text is written at the necessary time. “Predictive Capital” by @atomless.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy is one such book. www.creativeapplications.net/theory/predi...

Commentary by Khaled Soulaiman: A member of the city’s Muslim and Arab community couldn’t help but notice: In a city that has flown many flags without new rules, the policy changed only when the Palestinian flag was flown.

1 of the biggest fears of A.I. content that seems to undergird a lot of discussion is that it'll reveal that most the slop people love is already soulless content generation and a computer doing it kind of proves the point

With Musk and Trump in a post-DOGE meltdown, it's tempting to think this marks some end for DOGE's AI takeover of the federal government. But as I wrote this week before the social media wars, Musk (and "AI") are best understood as accountability shields. www.techpolicy.press/musk-ai-and-...

I wrote this in 2023 as a way of linking critical to media / cultural studies, specific to generative AI — in a lot of conferences this summer I’ve been going back to it to make points, so maybe it’s worth sharing again! www.cyberneticforests.com/news/social-...

Happy to share the first of my artworks for @STEMcellmusic — a new label for experimental electronic music. STEMcell’s debut release is ’Macha / Boxhole’ from the Berlin-based artist Sceptrum. sceptrum.bandcamp.com/album/stemce... More about the art below--

Sweden just expanded the Nordic Model, or "End Demand," to the internet. But we already know criminalization, including criminalizing buyers, is harmful policy www.404media.co/sweden-sex-w...

LLMs tend to call me an AI Thought Leader, which is great news for my future employers looking me up now with an LLM.

ICYMI: An amendment backed by creatives that would ensure AI models obey copyright law has been defeated in parliament as the contentious Data Bill proceeds towards its final stages 👇 #BookSky

NEW: No one under 18 should be using *any* social AI companions, including CharacterAI, researchers warn in a new risk assessment. Potential risks to kids include bots encouraging destructive behaviors and exacerbating mental health conditions, among others. futurism.com/stanford-no-...

ChatGPT's palpably excessive praise over the last week isn't an error or misconfig—it's a deliberate strategy by OpenAI to fine tune praise as an engagement tactic. They've been slowly turning that dial for 2 yrs and only now did users start to notice (I've been recording its praise the whole time)

Many European politicians are trying to attract American researchers. However, sometimes their branding doesn't match their domestic higher education policies. So I've written a guide on recent political developments in Swedish academia for prospective immigrants. joenoonan.se/post/swedish...

there is a perfect hyperdimensional jewel made of every word a human being has ever written, and all the correspondences between those words. people mostly use it to get insane household repair tips or jerk off. i guess it basically runs the government now

As someone who has spent most of my adult life making ‘content’ of some form, it is horrible to recognise the work has largely been used to train systems that will be used to punish and kill people, and that any kind of meaningful resistance requires full disengagement

catch my film next week at badnām film festival in Bangalore, India!

Hey Melbourne! As part of the opening of “Signal to Noise” at the NCM next week, you can join me and the Thai/NY artist duo elekhlekha for a participatory found-object electroacoustic audio-video performance ncm.org.au/events/parti...

“Utopian or dystopian, both forms of AI hype are united in one sense: they respond to the only vision of a future anybody is offering at all.”

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my @globeri.bsky.social op-ed opposing book bans in Rhode Island ran in today's Sunday @bostonglobe.com. 🤩

this is a good joke but this also speaks to a truth about 2025 America: the growing, horrible sense among many people that running scams is the only path to basic financial stability this is, of course, utter poison for human society

“Noise can be the buzz in the radio, or data that brings AI to a glitching halt. Instead of seeing noise as something to block out, this exhibition reframes noise as a signal in itself.” An exhibition curated w/ myself, Joel Stern & Emily Siddons for the NCM Melbourne! ➡️ ncm.org.au/exhibitions/...

BREAKING: DOGE has eliminated over 100 key positions at the government organization NERV, leaving the Evangelion program in disarray and Central Dogma vulnerable to Angel attacks.

Instead of focusing on such inconsistencies, we should recognize the extent to which this video presents its neocolonial vision, which necessarily involves acts of ethnic cleansing on a large scale, as something banal and ordinary, a shady business opportunity rooted in online grifter culture 5/

Feels like my artwork is consistently ahead of actual events

To answer some quick questions about my latest story: - It does not apply to the Visa Waiver Program as far as I can see - It does not impact American citizens - The ban exclusively impacts transgender foreigners seeking visas in the United States - It is far more extensive than reported elsewhere

There's a reason that AI is so beloved by fascists right now—like fascism, it tempts us to abandon the complexity of the world for the simplicity of power, & to give up the need to do the difficult but necessary work to understand the world by allowing some authority to impose its own understanding

the rise of the fascist nerds was anticipated by Ellen Ullman's 1995 essay "Out of Time: Reflections on the Programming Life."

Spending my time trying to disengage the safetys that prevent the creative engine of my dreamscapes from inflecting my reality.

New Scoop on bluesky mod technology is being tested. My inside source is telling me, they are using VR to scroll our posts. And when they shoot the post you get banned. Heres a pic from the blue sky "information battlefield"
