How can a machine understand what a story is, and steer it into promising directions? In my book I explore how #Narratology can be modeled with computers, and what the benefits are for both: the humanities and the study of creative machines.

@Wissing Selbst Autobauer wie Daimler und Audi sagen offen das sie nicht auf E Fuels sondern auf Elektromobilität setzen. Traurig, dass eine angebliche Fortschrittspartei für politische Profilierung so herumbremst. Auf besten Wege unter die 5% Marke, FDP. Wie letztes mal...

Raised by Wolves is a superb show, full of symbolism, mystery and boldly tackling questions about humanity, technology and their potential interrelation. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend, and sincerely hope we find a studio to pick it up! #SaveRaisedByWolves

Not that it's a big deal, tbh, but taking into account that I'm on a 1184 day streak and hence have been with you for a quite while that feels like a disappointing move.

Hi @hellodaylio, I got you premium offer during black week, which at the time was advertised for 3€. Now the 7 days trial period is done, and it seems I have payed 12€ instead, since black week is already over. That seems a little scammy to me, don't you agree?

Today I am defending my thesis, but yesterday I was allowed a bit of a pre celebration when it was awarded the Lower Saxonia price for the best AI dissertation 2021. I'm very honoured!

@CDU Dann fangt doch mal bei den CDU/CSU Abgeordneten an, und schaut ganz genau bei den Nebenverdiensten nach #Maskenaffäre #Aserbaidschanaffäre #Vetternwirtschaft

Aber ne, die CDU will natürlich keine Transparenz, sondern nur bei anderen spannen.

@SebastianKubon @BMBF_Bund @AmreiBahr @DrKEichhorn Ich bin übrigens prieviligiert, mit KI fällt der Wechsel in die Wirtschaft wohl eher leicht. Das heißt aber das meine Arbeitskraft, die an der Uni der Gemeinschaft zu Gute käme, statt dessen "nur" Unternehmensgewinne schafft. Guter Plan? @BMBF_Bund #IchBinHanna

[Leonid Berov @le_berov]

@SebastianKubon @BMBF_Bund @AmreiBahr @DrKEichhorn Ich bin Leonid, promoviere in KI und habe in 4.5 Jahren 3 Verträge gehabt, alle befristet und in Teilzeit (2 Jahre auch ohne Sozialabgaben oder KV) . In der Forschung würde ich gerne bleiben um Dt. in dem Thema voran zu bringen, aber nicht unter diesen Bedingungen. #IchBinHanna

@saarisarah @Theaterdigital Getting The City and The City into this mix is simply brilliant!

Our theatre project ANA, on empathy in collaborative storytelling with AI, has made one of the planing grants. Excited to get this thing chatting! More details on ANA and the others can be found here: https://t.co/rLDvfs4POH

Thanks for your support @KulturNds and @VolkswagenSt !

[VolkswagenStiftung @VolkswagenSt]

Jeweils 10.000 Euro erhalten 10 Kooperationen zwischen Kunstschaffenden und Forschenden, um ihre Projektideen zum Thema "KI in der Kultur" in den nächsten sechs Monaten konkreter auszuarbeiten. @KulturNds https://t.co/sxQ2EaI7xy

@amintos I think the comparison is misleading, since the number of tests is significantly higher now than during the first wave period. It would be more enlightening to compare hospitalizations/ICU saturation.
...but of course your conclusion is still right, opening now is a bad idea.

@bob_tona @tnicholsmd And you are a bot.

You might have heard that Conway's Game of Life is Turing complete.

But what most people who are familiar with the game don't know, is what that *truly* entails.

That it is possible to create Life ...within Life itself. ⠠⠵

@PINguAR @alexjc @fhuszar @robinmschreiber Just as we were talking about fashion and AI I stumble over this gem! :)
Looks like GANs start getting too good to be creative.

[Leonid Berov @le_berov]

@dr_tago I would love to see is an approach where #gpt3 is prompted with a plot skeleton, and it fills in the details/story world. Then, abstract reasoning could be handled on the plot level by an own module, and prose generation could be done by gpt. Still waiting for my Beta access...

[Leonid Berov @le_berov]

@dr_tago The coherence and skillfullness of #gpt3 stories is incredible. But I think it lacks some qualities we would expect from an creative agent: the ability to evaluate its own output, and the ability to change parts of the story to improve this evaluation.
