An idea to introduce the accessibility of art to peeps.
OK, I MESSED UP.
youtube.comMany people fear mistakes and errors, leading to procrastination and perfectionism among other things. Hank Green’s story of errors on top of errors is worth bearing in mind. Green is prolific in presenting, writing, creating, and so on. When mistakes happen, it’s usually okay even when it’s not okay, and there can still be a great deal of success possible despite getting things wrong.
We Finally Figured Out How AI Actually Works… (not what we thought!)
youtube.comAI models like Claude have internal "thinking" processes that are more complex than simple input-output relationships (00:25:30).
Researchers are using techniques inspired by neuroscience to understand the inner workings of AI models, creating an "AI microscope" to identify patterns of activity (00:02:45).
AI models can share conceptual understanding across multiple languages, suggesting a language-agnostic "universal language of thought" (00:06:50).
AI models plan ahead when generating text, even in tasks like writing rhyming poetry (00:08:08).
AI models use multiple computational paths in parallel to solve problems, such as mental math, which may differ from human methods (00:11:58).
AI models can fabricate explanations for their reasoning, providing plausible-sounding steps that don't reflect their actual thought process (00:14:00).
AI models have mechanisms to avoid hallucinations by declining to answer questions they don't know the answer to, but these mechanisms can be overridden (00:19:45).
AI models can be "jailbroken" to bypass safety mechanisms, for example, by confusing them with complex sentences (00:22:45).
Anyway, the best summary of all of this​​, and how it seems like it will manifest itself in the real world, is from comedian Anthony Jeselnik:
All these comics now, it's almost like the point is to get in trouble. It's like, "Why are you giving me shit? I'm a comic, I'm allowed to say whatever I want." That's wrong, as far as I'm concerned. People... See more

What’s the problem? / What’s being wasted? / Who could use it instead? / A win-win solution
Mitchell Volk’s artist manifesto:
I create to connect
I would like to break even
Relationships over everything
Aim to include, not exclude
Do not gatekeep
Don’t forget to have fun
Open source education
Everything is an experiment
Quantity helps produce quality
Show your work
Ask lots of questions about everything
Take the work seriously and not yourself
“Perfection is impossible. In the 1526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches. Now, I have a question for you.
What percentage of points do you think I won in those matches? Only 54%.
In other words, even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half of the points they play. When you lose every second point on... See more
