Under the Black Moon we wonder: what now? Can we stop pretending everything is fine? Is it time to root and ground in place? This time we allow ourselves to get real, raw, and personal with you as we reflect on what feels worth nurturing going forward.
This new moon, we wonder how AI agents will deal with cookie consent banners, explore both human and AI conversational powers – and responsibilities –, and invite you to visit a library.
This new moon, we try to reason with strawberries, look for human and AI companions for our fellowship, and try out tools that might just help us find paths that lead to preferable futures.
While Big Tech refuses to embrace the demure and mindful trend, we sing to a burning planet, explore some recent research on LLMs, and wonder whether AI chatbots could help us get our sh*t together.
We coddiwomple towards a harmonious future in which AIs & humans form a mutually beneficial creative alliance by exploring the context in which we all live, and wondering who to place our faith in.
We try to escape the AI rat race by slowing down & playing with time. We listen for storms brewing in the distance while harvesting corn that might reveal diverse rainbow visions of our tech futures.
While uncle Sam, Mark & co. need you to feed their AI golem armies, we share recipes for home-made software, look for plurality & weirdness online, challenge AI companies to think different, and more.
This new moon, we counter the AI-assisted dematerialisation of the workforce and disembodiment of knowledge by delving into weirdness, grandmotherly wisdom, communal gardens, a new podcast, and more.
We play responsibility hot potato with Big Tech as we try to understand how AI is supposed to benefit humanity when being raised under poor parental guidance and a nutritionally deficient data diet.
We look for playfulness as AI golems track mud everywhere, white people get upset for the wrong reasons, and companies attempt to further abdicate responsibility by blaming it on the AI chatbot.
As the new moon rises, we ponder AI, AGI, and NGI by taking notes from Swifties, deal with cognitive dissonance, take a sneak peek at ETHOS, and glance up into the sky and future for inspiration.
Welcome to the first new moon of 2024, during which we wish billionaires realized they’re Saruman rather than Legolas, wonder about AI, embodied ethics, lab-grown brains, Polish train hackers & more.
