I started a small project I've been thinking about for a while!
It's called @MachineBedtime Stories, and it's tiny scifi and horror stories with illustrations powered by @midjourney ...(1/4)

I believe that the relationship between the director and production should be antagonistic because their goals are inherently antagonistic.

This is reductive, but ultimately directors want things that cost money and producers want to minimize costs.

Mosques are filled with complex geometry, kaleidoscopic colour, and intricate ornamentation.

Why do they look like that?

[William Besnard @BillSansky]

@culturaltutor Psychedelics. The answer is psychedelics, right?

A simulation of a hurricane is not a real hurricane, but a simulation of a chess game *is* a real chess game.

Similarly, a sufficiently good simulation of a mind is a mind itself.

Just published my first track! It's a huge step for me to make my music public, was too shy to do so so far :)

Tired: artists getting abused by AI

Wired: artists getting AHEAD with AI

jk I do have thoughts on AI art that are still taking form. But in the meantime, please allow me to offer some more optimistic takes on how AI can improve an artist's creative process:

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

"Form follows function" is a famous idea that makes us think of buildings with little or no ornamentation.

But Louis Sullivan, the man who came up with the phrase in 1896, designed buildings like the one below.

So what does "form follows function" actually mean?
