Eat the Camera A Conversation with Zach Nader

This week's conversation on the Substack is with Zach Nader. We discuss what it means to throw sand in the gears of image automation, how to locate the self in a hyperimaged world, and machines with no need for human input. @znader.bsky.social

Why neural foundation models work, and what they might—and might not—teach us about the brain These models can partly generalize across species, brain regions and tasks, suggesting that a set of machine-learnable rules govern neural population activity. But will we be able to understand them?

I'm on the front page of The Transmitter today.

Finding Photography’s Pulse In an age after truth, nothing captures cultural anxiety like post-photography, argues Danielle Ezzo

photographies Volume 19, Issue 1 of photographies

I'm thrilled to share that my first peer-reviewed academic paper has been published in the latest issue of photographies (Vol. 19, No. 1).

It is paywalled, but I have a couple of links if you want to read and the paywall is prohibitive.

FWIW, the jury is still out on Gen AI being good at text summaries. Because it shortens & emphasizes text based on distribution, not meaning, it’s less of a summary (ie, salient points highlighted) than a compression (ie, the most frequently asserted terms in the distribution). Not the same thing!
