Generative AI and the new style

I'm starting to send out individual issues of my Newsletter (Opens in a new window), albeit the editing of content on this platform is a pain. 

Over the summer, I was completely focussed on Artificial Intelligence and GenerativeAI. I plan to read even more about the topic and put my focus there, because it hits home many of my soft spots: philosophical discussions of consciousness and neuroscience, creativity and generative art, technology including legal and ethical thinking, and ofcourse futurism and science fiction shenanigans. 

I published some thoughts on my newsletter over the summer that present some innovative thinking on these topics, below a list with what you might have missed. I'll follow up this post with the latest issue of GOOD INTERNET and keep crossposting all issues here regulary from now on.

Also new, I created a new spreadshirt shop for some of my image synths (Opens in a new window) created with Stable Diffusion. You can find the prompts to create the image at the very bottom of each product-page. Here's A gentleman navigator in a steampunk airship observing giant flying robots harvesting language relations from the vast ocean of a very large language model (Opens in a new window) and here's Walter Benjamin is a Robot made from wet paint (Opens in a new window). I hope you dig it.

Thanks for your subscription, it makes life a lot easier for sure. You're awesome.
