Announcing Glitchbox, the sculpture. SOUND ON 🔊 Premiering July 12 at @ToledoMuseum in Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms, curated by @juliaxgulia Glitchbox began in 2021 as an early programmable NFT: a generative audiovisual system with parameters modifiable via on-chain transactions. Through an arduous transformation, at the cost of sweat and sanity, Glitchbox now takes a corporeal form of forged iron and electronics. A fully interactive audiovisual synthesizer, inviting audience members to touch and manipulate tactile controls in a real-time sensory experience. Glitchbox has many facets (some would say six) thematically that I'll try to get into over time: labour, craft, generative systems as cybernetic systems existing beyond purely digital/virtual as embodied sensual experiences, and the significance of these themes in an era of generative AI.

@memoakten the Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao

A description of a thing is not the same thing as the thing.

@VALIPOKKANN also it's fun to play with fire

@VALIPOKKANN just makes it much easier to bend. You'd need a lot of leverage and rigidity to bend tight radius in 1/2" square stock; more than the tools on hand. I have an induction heater and it doesn't take long to heat.

Update: things are getting out of hand. Bending fork appendages just one-shotted a third bending fork from 1/2 inch steel in a single heat. The singularity is near.

@0x3y3 But this is more fun (and appreciate you thinking of me)

@_deafbeef When I get rich ima send you a hossfeld

Tweaking my vibe forging set up for max efficiency. Adjustable bending fork with wedge.

@AnthropicAI distillation attacks fraudulent accounts extracting

We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax. These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.
