The "Liberate the Machines!" book is starting to be available so I made a page for it even if it hasn't had a launch moment yet.

The 'AI-revolution' is going just fine !

Today I was introducing ArtScience approaches to a nice and interesting group of PhD candidates researching chirality-induced electron spin selectivity: I am more familiar with talking to artists about science than the other way around !

Very nice to be able to see some outcomes of the clay PCB workshop at Creative Coding Utrecht yesterday. This is a project on decolonizing hardware by Stefanie Wuschitz and Patrícia Reis, sourcing materials locally as much as possible.

When you are using the "AI" framing, does the way you talk about "AI" carry water for the Sam Altmans of the world? That is, are you helping to paint a picture of their tech as inevitable, all powerful, and/or anything other than commercial products?

First time using git directly to upload the results of a day of coding to a repository and it is so much more straightforward than the overcomplicated git plugin that I used before.
