Thanks to the @p5xjs team, this #criticalAI project is ready to explore, and I couldn't be happier to share its tips and tricks for care-ful, easy AI tinkering

[Processing @ProcessingOrg]

Tired of generic AI hype? Check out tutorials for using #criticalAI with @p5xjs by @sarahciston for @Google Season of Docs 🌸 Learn AI to write #code, explore #datasets, and make your own AI tools using #p5js! Mentor @queerai, advisor @minneatairu 🔗 https://t.co/wY7Are4Z8w

[p5xjs @p5xjs]

We are excited to announce the new p5.js technical writer @sarahciston, mentor @queermachines, and advisor @minneatairu, as our participation in 2024 Google Season of Docs @GoogleOSS! This project aims to create p5.js critical AI tutorials. More info ➡️

Two weeks ago at @lorentzcenter guided by @SarahCiston we created zines! Here is a fragment by @informusiccs about #ResponsibleAI as #HealthyFood. A recipe for the grandma’s traditional Dutch apple pie is included :)

Thank you, Vladan—it’s so cool and I’m honored

[Vladan Joler @TheCreaturesLab]

Im happy to share with you our latest conceptual design experiment :) https://t.co/KZ2mExGLqM
This fantastic guide written by @SarahCiston is entirely created in google sheets.

A Critical Field Guide to Machine Learning Datasets has been such a joy to create as part of the Knowing Machines research project with @ananny & @katecrawford. I’m very proud to see it welcomed to the world today: https://t.co/9ke5fC0wlk

[Kate Crawford @katecrawford]

NEW: Today we release a 'Critical Field Guide for Working With Machine Learning Datasets' by @SarahCiston. It's a practical guide to navigating datasets. If you're an engineer, designer, journalist artist, or a student who uses datasets, it's here for you. https://t.co/o4lKcsn569

[Center for Critical Race and Digital Studies @centerforcrds]

"A People's Guide to Finding Algorithmic Discrimination" features four critical lessons: What is a machine learning algorithm?; Algorithmic Bias? What types of Bias?; and How do these emerge in real-world contexts? https://t.co/OA7C5RuyNL

[Weizenbaum-Institut @JWI_Berlin]

With around 100 enthusiastic guests, the film screening and talk was a great success, which we are very happy about along with @San_amd, @bherlo, @h_mihaljevic & @SarahCiston!

How did @HOLO_mg know a GIF is the way to my 💜💚💜?! (Maybe because GIFs are also often swift and joyful, like zines!) It was such a delight to make swift work of the joyful week at @AdK_Berlin #aianarchies with @mayameme & Nora Khan

[HOLO @HOLO_mg]

@AdK_Berlin @j_kloiber @quincccc @superrrnetwork @SarahCiston “A zine page is a small space and that’s kind of the point: the constraint is part of the magic, as it forces you to be short and sweet and express yourself swiftly and joyfully. General rule of thumb: first thought, best thought!” —@sarahciston, on the joys of zine-making

@AdK_Berlin @mayameme “We want to create a space to consider AI as a prompt to abandon positive and positivist visions of the future, for necessary disregard, for meaningful resistance in a time of an overdetermined computational life,” write @mayameme & Nora N. Khan

Aesthetic Programming is the book I wish existed when I was trying to start learning code. Thank you for offering such a joyful way to engage with your text, with code, with community @siusoon @ThesisAnti @markcmarino

[Winnie Soon 孫詠怡 @[email protected] @siusoon]

Thanks for reviewing+forking the book. Such a wonderful new chapter that @markcmarino+@SarahCiston ve made. Great to see this way of navigating the how to (technical)+ extending to cultural dimension is useful for the community to engage #code critically.
