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.

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 […]

Hi, this is Michael, the creator of TurtlePox. Thanks for the link! I just wanted to mention that the project is actually running off of a server in my apartment, and, in an effort to demonstrate that Murphy’s law is alive and well, my ISP is having a planned maintenance outage from midnight to 3:00AM EST tonight (Wed Dec 8 – Thu Dec 9) just as the project is starting to get off the ground. So if you can’t connect to the site for the next few hours, rest assured that it is still alive and well, and please come back and check it out when the sun rises again on the east coast. Thanks!
