I had a good chat with Guardian Australia but I fear the piece they've just published reads as if I'm in the pro-AI camp. I'm actually strongly against the push for AI to be adopted, especially in the creative industries. medium.com/@olliebown/s...
For those not following the drama earlier, it's for sharing this piece advocating for nonviolence (but not being judgy about how targeted people respond either). And saying some things about governmental/ institutional violence.

Just got an email from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States
Aix-Marseille University in France will provide 15 million Euros over 3 years to 15 American scientists who feel threatened or hindered in their research by the orange manbaby.
So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
Khaled Sabsabi's Thank You Very Much is very familiar to me, given my cut-up Reagan Speaks for Himself having gone "viral" during Reagan's candidacy and reign. In the Senate hearing there was a banal assumption that it was "shocking," etc., when it was very straightforward in the context of 2006.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
Can Australian arts orgs just stop with all this bullshit, everyone is over it.
Grow the fuck up. Quit it with the censorship. Let artist art, or we'll just turn around and art harder to spite you.
Hard to believe that some Australians take this guy seriously. #peterdutton

Check out the chapter on Matter and Radiation in Bachelard's The New Scientific Spirit. CVR is prominently featured.
Have you checked out C. V. Raman, Raman scattering and spectroscopy? Energetic basis for materials science, but Raman resonance also brought into play for live subcellular imaging. For me, he's the sweet spot between energy and matter.
Techbros quick in with the new circuitry of coordination/Gleichschaltung.

In 2005 I was bumped up to business on a flight from Chicago to Sacramento. I sat next to a major software firm CTO who was also a born-again Christian. We talked for the entire trip. He told me about using his wealth to fund The Creation Museum. Here's Adam in Garden of Eden with a penguin.
My new podcast with Lucy Lippard is out and I am delighted to share it. Have a listen (and watch, because the video is great too)
