Dice drawing
Love this simple generative art recipe by @wblut. All you need is a piece of paper, a ruler, a compass, a pencil and a dice.

Link dump from MDRAI
Tonight I attended an event at Elisava organized by the Master in Design for Responsible AI. I gathered a few links from the presentations by Caroline Sinders and Leandro Ucciferri. I’m just going to dump them below to explore later.

Citation de Gregory Chatonsky
Vectofascisme : Néologisme désignant une forme contemporaine de fascisme qui s’adapte aux moyens de communication et aux structures sociales de l’ère numérique, caractérisée par la vectorisation (direction, intensité, propagation) de l’information et du pouvoir à l’ère de l’IA.

Quoting Sonia Shah
Human mobility is fundamental to our biological resilience. Our capacity to cooperate across geographic barriers relies on the cultural connections forged by people on the move, injecting genetic and cultural diversity into otherwise insular societies. Migration is the planet’s connective tissue. It’s not the crisis we reflexively imagine it to be. In a rapidly changing…

Dans cette…

Quoting Will Lockett
Musk isn’t an engineer and doesn’t understand iterative design, and now SpaceX and NASA are facing a sunk cost fallacy. You never achieve iterative design with a full-scale prototype. It is incredibly wasteful and can lead you down several problematic and dead-end solutions. I used to engineer high-speed boats — another weight- and safety-sensitive engineering field. We…
