In Adelaide for the day for the electricdreams immersive storytelling festival (as punter, not speaker) -- HMU if you are around and want to catch up Tactical Space Lab

Good exposé on plastic recycling general BS

We've just added the 4th work to the #VRStudioCollection, and very chuffed to show it off! #TarikAhlip 's studio explored the figurative potential of sculpture and architectural space in VR.   #gamedev #wip #unity3d #vrart #digitalart

Reddit user ibreakphotos discovers that Samsung's 'Space Zoom' simply replaces user's moon photos with higher-res images of the moon through a clever testing process. reddit.com/r/Android/comm… This isn't computational photography — it's inserting imagery that simply isn't there.

#GraceKingston's is the 5th VR studio work added to the #vrstudiocollection. It took a while to figure out a good way to communicate this work well, since it's so site specific! Hopefully this approaches it, but we'd love to hear your feedback! #gamedev #wip #unity3d #vrart

HustleGPT is fraud. Human's who do what GPT suggests are miraculously both total idiots and committing wire fraud. Feels like the start of a trend of humans doing things that are both dumb and unethical because of AI. Mashable India in.mashable.com/tech/49146/hus…

"A single person can essentially create a game that cost $140,000 to produce in 2010" ChatGPT knows how to code Angry Birds because it's been explained by generous humans through countless tutorials and forum discussions. They could have made this by reading them, & learnt coding

Comments are just mud. It doesn't make sense to say "accuracy should be the only objective, diversity/representation has no place in AI." 1) training data is biased so can't just be neutral about using it, 2) speculative representation is most of what people use genAI for

LLMs are pretty useless, and can't be trusted (e.g. had some horrors with software help dialogues driven by AI hallucinating non existing features). Feels like the AI bubble will burst when people realise hallucination is a feature of this approach that can't be overcome.
