The entire scientific establishment should be critically challenged by overwhelming it with a flood of spam from flawed AI systems. It's time to dismantle the so-called 'mandate from heaven' that these institutions claim over global knowledge.

Thoughts on CreativeAI, 8 years later
In light of an upcoming experiment, I've been revisiting a piece I wrote in March 2016 titled "Creative AI: On the Democratisation & Escalation of Creativity" (https://medium.com/@creativeai/creativeai-9d4b2346faf3). This expansive manifesto, which outlined much of the Generative AI landscape years before its mainstream emergence, hinged on a fundamental assumption: The central point of Generative AI Systems is to make more people more creative and to enable "a future where CreativeAI helps us raise the human potential."
Reflecting on this vision from today's vantage point, I now perceive it as rather naive and recognize it as just one of many competing viewpoints. The current landscape has revealed far more compelling scenarios that have yet to capture widespread attention—reminiscent of the nascent state of Generative AI in 2016. More on these ideas soon.

Wrapping my head around TikTok is a ride: A "oddly satisfying" video split-screened with an angry stunt, all while ASMR plays in the background—it does weird things to the brain. It's a sneak peek at interaction design crafted by multimodal AI, trained on biosignals.

The amount/depth entertainment/value/meaning we get from media does not scale linearly with the computation or energy needed to create it.

Hyper-personalized media, generated just-in-time based on real-time data about one's current context & state, is the holy grail of generative AI. The key challenges lie in preventing society from splintering into filter bubbles and avoiding the nasty side effects of wireheading

Grok is great for Computational Comedy. Here is it generating "images of my wife" - I only asked for one, but thanks - and of me. It regularly will generate semi-pornographic images as well.

AI music generators Udio, Suno issue forceful fair use defense v. music labels
AI music generators Suno and Udio file Answers. They came to fight. Both represented by Latham & Watkins, they raise a forceful fair use defense. But even further: a copyright misuse defense alleging the music labels are engaged in anticompetitive uses of their copyright.
#Comment: Limited hang-out from the octopus which owns all sides, testing the market reactions to their ancient technologies being rolled-out. The game is rigged, the acoustic warfare will continue.

Math puzzle: What fraction of the image is black?
Ignore the straight lines and express your answer as a fraction, not as a "series" extending to some asymptote. Answer from here: "If we ignore the lines, 1/3. Focus only on top left, bottom left and bottom right. 1 of them is black, 2 white. Top right is just a copy of it."

Things that have a high probability of being true for media & entertainment over the short term (~24 months)
- The average income of professionals in many creative Industries will significantly decline.
- The amount of content on most online channels will exponentially increase (incl. Lot's of "generative spam"). It will put lots of pressure on discovery algorithms, further hurting artists.
- The generative AI tool provider space will consolidate, with most startups disappearing and giant orgs grabbing even more media industry market share.
- Giant media platforms will significantly cut their costs by replacing human content Pipelines with AI (think music license cost that YouTube and TikTok pay)
- Lots of Lawsuit's will happen (training data copyright, etc), which only the giant orgs able to navigate.
- A new industry wide copyright regime and business model will start to emerge, but Major divides remain.
- A totally new media form will appear, than combines AI generated media with real time bio-signal feedback (BCI, etc.). This "proto-wireheading" media will become more addictive than crack.
Reflections prompted by this, rather techno-utopian tweet on the same topic
Opinions in this space that deviate from the US mainstream narrative - "AI inevitably makes us all exponentially more beautiful, creative, intelligent and rich" - hardly get any airtime. It's intellectually dishonest & lazy, leading to bad business/social outcomes. The brutal logic of late capitalism is at work, this we should not forget. An alternative system is possible for genAI, but it is mostly a grand socio-economic system question. Maybe after the house of cards falls.

Today, our 4-year-old made this painting for me. It brought more joy to my heart than any of the billions of AI-generated images. It reminded me that the act of creation and the role of the creator are far more important than the artifacts themselves.
