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/...

Artist Liza Shkirando is one of my collaborators on this wild project.
