Marry an American is an act of charity to rescue those poor people. I’m not aware of European or global versions yet, but we can probably sign up for the Canadian pledge if we want, and offer our own country’s clemency instead.

Synthetic media is a current popular term for AI-generated videos, texts and images. I think the first use was only a few years ago in 2018, but I couldn’t find an overview of its use so thought I’d cobble one together here, mostly because I like Elena Pilipets and her […]
OpenAI plans to charge $20,000 (USD) a month for an AI agent that can do “PhD level research”. Maybe all the PhDs and postdocs recently fired by DOGE should band together and sell their services as “AI agents” – apparently some people will pay more for robots than people. At […]
This is my original Norwegian draft of an essay published in the Danish foreign policy magazine Udenrigs today as part of a special issue on AI and foreign policy. I argue that AI is influencing the way we tell stories, and more seriously, that there is a risk of this […]
In 2022 I learned about FAIR data, the movement to make research data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible. One of UiB’s brilliant research librarians, Jenny Ostrup, patiently helped me make the dataset from the Machine Vision project FAIR in 2022 – I wrote a little bit about that in my […]
Thanks to everyone who came to the triple book talk of three recent books on machine vision by James Dobson, Jussi Parikka and me, and thanks for excellent questions. Several people have emailed to asked if we recorded it, and yes we did! Here you go! James and Jussi’s books […]
Finally I can share what I’ve been working on! I absolutely loved writing this book, taking the time to dig deep into histories, ideas and theories that I think really help understand how machine vision technologies like facial recognition and image generation are impacting us today. I wanted the book […]

I love it! Where do you find all these jewels?? With friends in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, it is especially hilarious read for me. I will pass it on to them! But marry an American? NO WAY!!

I’ll just point out that Canadians are Americans too. I guess most of them will continue to marry other americans.

Last time I checked, Venezuelans and Mexicans were Americans as well. Oh, and let’s not forget the Argentinians!

Good heavens. Are you in earnest?

As a fellow American, Frank, I’d like you to know: I am far stronger than your hatred and your ignorance, the 82% of Manhattan and 80% of Philadelphia that fought with me are far stronger than your weakness and fear, and we will utterly defeat your unfounded anger and the lies that you vomit. This is a country that overcame slavery, worked for decades to give women the right to vote, and fought a protracted battle for civil rights and the equality of all Americans. Your fearmongering, your slanders, and your caps locks key are trivial, sick jokes by comparison, and we will demolish them easily.

I think “Good heavens, are you in earnest?” is my favourite response ever, Jill. That’s freaking hilarious.

Yes, Toril, stay away from marrying any Americans because 51% of them are actually trolls. Uff. If that commenter is really American and is really in earnest, then I want to apologize, as another American (of the 49%), for his trollish outbreak. It has become a curse to live here. The site you linked to was touching.
