This is brilliant!

If someone had told us when we were working on The Lego Movie that a decade later we would have… this… 😮‍💨

This is nuts:

Mapping Google's Unmappable City How filmmaker Chris Parr put North Oaks, Minnesota on the map.

North Oaks, Minnesota is home to united healthcare executives and various CEOs. It's also the only city in the US that is not on Google Street View. A documentary filmmaker set out to change that. pretty interesting look at who gets privacy in America and how

Haunting blogpost points out the collapse of public coding forums leads to asking chatbots *directly* for answers in private chats, which also leads to debugging sessions with answers that only closed LLM service models have access to, locking out open solutions michiel.buddingh.eu/enclosure-fe...

Very, very grateful to find some of my work featured inside the ILM 50th anniversary book. Extremely proud of what our team in Sydney has contributed in the last 5 years of that monumental history

learning to program in the late 90s and early 00s, you’d inevitably run across classic works like Goto Considered Harmful and No Silver Bullet, even if you weren’t particularly bookish, and there was tons of discourse about HCI as well, all grounded in decades of research

i’m afraid that’s all gone

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Congratulations Francesco and Ton- a well deserved break a long time coming! Maybe the next decades be even more successful

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Hackers Threaten to Submit Artists' Data to AI Models If Art Site Doesn't Pay Up Artists&Clients, a website for connecting artists with gigs, is down after a group called LunaLock threatened to feed their data to AI datasets.

An old school ransomware attack has a new twist: threatening to feed data to AI companies so it’ll be added to LLM datasets.

I really hope we’re not dropping the "content" from "content creator".

It’s a valuable label. Content is a very specific type of culture, one formatted according to the algorithms that determine its success.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

At the Sydney Film Festival many years ago I was walking behind Hugo Weaving to go to the bathroom. He wasn’t paying attention and went into the Women’s room - only to swiftly come back out and give me an awkward look.

See you tomorrow!

Brian Eno Calls On Microsoft To Cease Partnership With Israel, Will Donate Windows ‘95 Chime Fee To Victims In Gaza Art-music master Brian Eno is the composer of what might be one of the most-heard pieces of music in history, even if much of the world doesn’t necessarily process it as a piece of music. Eno made the...

Brian Eno calls on Microsoft to cease its partnership with Israel and pledges to donate the original fee for his Windows '95 chime to victims of Israel's genocide in Gaza

Novel color via stimulation of individual photoreceptors at population scale Image display by cell-by-cell retina stimulation, enabling colors impossible to see under natural viewing.

Gaza will be entirely destroyed, Israeli minister says Bezalel Smotrich says Palestinians will ‘leave in great numbers to third countries’, raising fears of ethnic cleansing

May these words stick to Israel's already blood-soaked history for generations into the far, far future. May our children, and their children, know the term "never again" to include this evil. May those who allowed this to happen feel eternal shame.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

Love how after all the arguments of this stuff being transformative, intelligent, creative, Sam Altman just comes out with “haha ripoff machine go brrrrrr”
