At work, they are warning us about Microsoft's new data limit and deleting emails before it's "too late" so we don't run out of space. Does this mean we don't get emails? Because if so, don't be threatening a good time unless you plan on delivering. 🤣🤣🤣

Thread: 🧵 This is my first time working with Claude on a piece of art. Lesson 1. I hand coded the entire architecture while having it teach me swift. I wrote in c# and had it translate for me then I typed in all the first round of architecture. Man oh man am I glad I did. It made hilarious calls.

If you want to see my talk about Crip Design for musical interfaces from NIME2026, it's living here: www.youtube.com/live/vKWWuKH...
The start slide from this talk, Crip Design for Collaborative Musical Interfaces. There is an illustration of 3 boxes with faces on them, the bots, in three 3 hands with encircled arms of 3 players. In the center is the game's name and logo, "Bot Party."

I'm at #nime2026 this week and I am very thankful for their hybrid approach. Streaming still remains the most accessible way to attend a conference for me. Oscillating between being there vs in my own house has been brilliant.

squeezlabs.github.io/handcrank/ When people tell you ML needs huge compute, massive data collection, and wrecks the planet, explain that is not ML. That’s bad engineering, late stage capitalism, and VCs who only care about scale and selling their consumers as products.

Wild idea. What if AI didn’t have to suck? How would you imagine a different way? What practical steps can you take to build that world? Feminism doesn’t always need to be critique. It can be construction.

These last few weeks I’ve been thinking about big tech AI and I keep coming back to the same thing. AI isn’t the problem. It’s the lack of social cohesiveness in society - that’s the issue. Blaming everything on the companies to fix while failing to regulate capital and tax the rich will not work.

I find it intriguing that I have been publishing about Machine Learning since 2011 and back then no one understood what I was doing and now no one STILL understands what I am doing but they have all got an opinion about it. I have been overshadowed by people who shout loudest. Hilarious.

I am always left wondering about the colonized mindset of white dudes writing game coding tutorials who have to frame every single example as an enemy, weapon, collection, or damage point. What world are you wanting to create? What does this say about you, the culture?

I'm pro machine learning and against AI slop, closed models, and theft. Great stuff is happening but just not where you might happen to be looking, and like anything, sustainable pro-humanity solutions are not always incentivised. We have to work together to create a sustainable AI future.
