When Robots Aggregate

The mess between Forbes and Perplexity AI highlights how soulless and extractive aggregation can be in the wrong hands. It’s the wrong direction for LLMs.

Quadruple-Booked

The latest artificial intelligence use cases, like Windows’ Recall and Zoom’s digital twins, appear to be built specifically for managers and executives, and literally nobody else. That’s a problem.

Interface Interference

The problem that’s bugging me about the Rabbit R1 and Humane AI Pin dunk-fests: A seeming discouragement of hardware innovation.

Missing The Human Touch

Tech and creativity once had a symbiotic relationship in the push towards innovation. As generative content matures, it feels like they’re starting to diverge. And that’s bad for creative people.

Art Fights Back

A comic artist took a journalistic dive into the knotty debates around generative AI—and found artists worried about the people even more than the tech.

A Dylanesque Negotiating Strategy

One of the news industry’s biggest, longest-standing problems is that they do not value the work they create at the level it deserves. They should take a cue from the music industry’s biggest stars.

The Lines Blur Further

The music industry has had to navigate the choppy waters of royalties, ownership, and inspiration well before AI-generated music became the hot new thing. And not just because of sampling.

A Seismic Stock Shift

Stock photo services like Shutterstock or Getty Images helped source the models used by tools like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. But stock photos are not perfect—and if the two models can’t work together, one could disrupt the other.

AI, Minus the Hype

Perhaps you’ve heard a thing or ten about generative AI stuff like ChatGPT. Should you care? Let’s have a (relatively) normal person explain it to you.

Text By Procedure

A short history of procedurally generated text, which both humans and computers have had a hand in making throughout history.
