Year: 2018

Last year I briefly talked about how #AI is impacting the #art world with @itsnicethat (https://t.co/PgcA06Obza). This is a milestone (and in part why I am building an AI artwork myself) > @ChristiesInc will sell an artwork created by AI for the first time https://t.co/Csiu2uw5iX

“There’s the kind that no one can possibly like. The popups, popunders, high-pressure, track-your-private-data, scammy, spammy, interruptive, overpriced, overhyped, under-designed selfish nonsense that some people engage in.” > Two kinds of marketing https://t.co/yfYqLFtsZn

@peterl Come on. Not even in a secondary role in The Silence of the Lambs? Just for the fascination of seeing yourself immersed in those situations?

Forget this specific scenario. Is it possible that the future of home entertainment is blockbuster movies “customized” by #AI with the faces of the viewers? > A porn company promises to insert customers into scenes using deepfakes https://t.co/A0lElztNW8

You probably read this news via email > Slack confirms it has raised $427M at a post-money valuation of over $7.1B https://t.co/RzKOpwYyK6

@jamesurquhart @jeffsussna Or maybe, beyond a certain complexity threshold, functions are not a good idea anymore. When IKEA designs new furniture, they have to balance between atomization, complexity, and cost. How many pieces to assemble a sofa are too many?

Very close to one of the biggest “I told you so” of my career, sadly. 5 years in the making.

We have come to this… It looks more like a vending machine to sell crushed souls to me > To fight the scourge of open offices, ROOM sells rooms https://t.co/otk5XZklg8 https://t.co/zETAnWRvfK

The hardware design is supplied by Apple. The software is supplied by Google. The value added by most smartphone manufacturers is: cheaper components (lower quality) and sloppy customizations (more instability / constrained features / less privacy). And it’s all yours for free. https://t.co/ol6jMHHaSk

My partner in crime and I are making great progress with our #AI artwork. After much testing, we are leaning towards @Azure Machine Learning Studio as part of our toolset. The visual experiment designer is great.
