The repeated blind spot I see with people about AI is that their main reply is "it's not good enough" and "not passable as human" etc. But that all implies millions of people aren't working to improve it every day If you wait until it's good enough you're too late

I was awoken in the middle of the night to conceptualize this project. Stable Diffusion in VR + touchdesigner = realtime immersive latent space. Tests continue today! #aiart #vr #stablediffusion #touchdesigner #deforum

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas. I am approaching this with anthropological precision. Here are a few observations.

Perhaps the greatest anti-slavery speech ever uttered is “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July,” by Frederick Douglass, in 1852. I wanted to make the speech more accessible. Here’s a thread with an abridged version of the speech we should reread every #FourthofJuly. 1/

A taser is not a deadly weapon. A gun is. Adrenaline and irritation are not the same as mortal fear. Running away should not be punishable by death. Public safety must mean the public is safe. All of us. #BlackLivesMatter #AtlantaShooting #RayshardBrooks

In this time of extreme hurt "there is always good in the world" is put to the test. But as hard as it is to see, the good is always there. And it always will be when people stand with each other, listen to each other, learn from each other so we can make change with each other.

I usually watch TikTok for the comedy but this moved me and I wanted to share this for anyone who still doesn’t understand privilege. This is the sorta stuff I think about daily living in America. #BlackLivesMatter
