Sounds about right wing yep

Omg I get nauseous thinking of how many people are using iCloud unknowingly.

I am constantly seeing, reading, watching and doing too many things at the same time, and also not nearly doing enough and aware of so many more things I could and should and want to be doing all the time

I saved this ages ago and can't remember where it came from, but silly jokes like this make my day.

Human vs Machine Logic ohistudio.substack.com/p/human-vs-m...

I finally had some time to vibe code something! Travel through all of human history, and see human civilization emerge by simply scrolling. Nice little collab between Claude and myself, with data from the Hammond Graphic History of Mankind. Try it yourself here: studioanrk.com/work/empires/

If you are semi tech-literate remember that it is your responsibility to tell elderly family members about how phishing and hacking is quickly evolving and how they can protect themselves.

Not that it bothers me all that much but I generally get zero engagement on here. Some posts get a like or two from the same friendly folks. Most go empty. I post because I feel I need to get stuff out of my head but I do miss the old twitter, which felt so much more alive to me.

It makes sense that if god(s) are real to you, you'd think that your inner thoughts might not be your own, which is downstream from the idea that god knows all. Fascinating to think about how much our sense of self, the autonomy of our mind, has become something we take for granted.

We live in the time of everything companies. Companies that try to do everything. Google. Amazon. OpenAI.

Leaps and bounds

I think an interesting point about the Meta VR Glasses vs Snap Specs is that having no puck is a huge win and incredibly impressive. But was a very risky move by Snap. People will judge the device by the formfactor and how it looks on your face, until they own it and the puck is like a deadweight.

What do agents build when given a 3D world and no directive? emergentic.ai/case-studies...

Stickerssss... still need to do some clean up and improve on how the object is described.

Yes and if you look deeper into ancient Greek or Roman myths, these deities were much closer to us and not so distant as the jewish-christian one. They mingled with mortals and produced demigod offspring. Christianity had Nephilim but that was I believe suppressed later or at least not talked about.

"13) Shipping it and call it done. Lack of discipline to go beyond the demo and ensure sustained adoption that meaningfully empowers teams." I see this tons, peope hopping from idea to idea without any depth, chasing likes but not working out what they're making and why. x.com/businessbari...

EVERYTHING IS INTERESTING

So many new headsets, and so few actual owners of said headsets.

I personally like this because it gives me the chance to reconsider if I need each individual app/service or if I can do without. I tend to delete a few each time.

What if you can translate any object around you wherever you are? Lisso is a way to either get help while travelling or learn a language before you go.

One of the many things about new tech launches that makes me uncomfortable is that probably the vast majority of enthusiastic posts about that tech's abilities or comfort or how impressive it is, comes from paid influencers who were flown out to fawn over said tech.

A past time of mine used to be to take photos of ordinary hanging lights, with the camera pointing upwards. Haven’t done this in years but this plain plastic sixties style lamp caught my eye.

All I had to do was look up and there was magic. Literally just now.

Lately ...

Really interesting perspective on how popular media emulated larger themes in society

The SPECS browser also supports WebXR! So my website now loads a dancing 3D scan of myself, tracked to my hand: maxvanleeuwen.com Thanks to Adrien Tasic for showing this is possible on his site: tasticad.com/imaginary-cr... #augmentedreality #AR #spectacles #lensstudio #snapAR

honestly, the kindness you gave away is still growing, even in the dark

Some older work. Made with Nexus Studios and The Egyptian Museum. This statue depicts the god Amun and his wife, the goddess Mut. The original sculpture is heavily damaged, an incredible privilege to work with the museum experts, and fab work by our team. More here nexusstudios.com/work/egyptia...

Much of modern day life consists of hunting for covert features on your devices that you didn't ask for, and don't need, nor want, but which harvest your location, voice, health and all kinds of other data and suck everything up to the cloud or to be used for training data.

We will be launching our new book, "The Hard Question of Art: Cognitive Futures" at @sanserriffe.bsky.social in Amsterdam, on Friday September 11, 7–9 PM, with Hend Samir, Antonio Vega Macotela, and Emilia Tapprest. Please be invited! (cc @versobooks.bsky.social)

Thinking about this quote by architect Christopher Alexander, on standards. When we can make anything, try anything, start something new anytime we like, how do we engage deeply with our work, and the purpose of that work? How do we remain focused on a longer term goal?
