@samueldiamond Surely that book already exists, The Snows of Venice.

@bat020 We've had 50 years of Heideggerian critiques of AI—Dreyfus, Haugeland, Cantwell Smith—what exactly would be new in this round? If anything the critique from Dasein has been weakened by LLMs.

Algorithmic composition will seem quaint, artisanal and definitively retro in ~2 years time (if it doesn't already).

Many thanks to Peter Bauman and @lerandomart for this conversation on topology, synthetic media, and Turing trauma.

@bat020 Haskell and scala peaked in 2010, so it doesn't quite match up, but it's close enough to put it down as functional programming related... category theory on the other hand is a growth stock.

@bat020 I would just teach my child the correct answer... NaN

The issue is on the theme of Computational Creativity, edited by Anna Longo, with a number of contributions still to come. Thanks to the reviewers and editors for thoughtful feedback on my article.

[AA Cavia @cavvia]

My piece 'Art & Language After AI' is published open access in the latest issue of Technophany Journal.

It tracks the shift from algorithmic to neural composition as a watershed moment in computational aesthetics.

A draft of my paper 'Turing Trauma', which relates Sellarsian, Marxian and Fanonian modes of alienation to a specific humiliation of the human brought about by AI, is now available.

I'm presenting a paper entitled 'Turing Trauma: Blind Spots in the Synoptic Vision of Intelligence' at this conference on Marxism and the Pittsburgh School next week at UCL in London.

Hope to see some of you there.

@samueldiamond You're missing out on the NOVEL OF DIASPORIC ALIENATION and the CYNICAL MILLENNIAL ARTIST AUTO-FICTION

[AA Cavia @cavvia]

@samueldiamond Unsurprising given Cristobal Balenciaga was a personal friend of General Franco and made clothes for his entire family. Made his name in Vichy France.

[AA Cavia @cavvia]

@rheaplex @CaoLinSan @briandroitcour @calsbot Boycotting the publication is good, actually.

@M_PF Wishing you a speedy recovery
