@eecanning @lincsproject @OxfordeResearch @V_and_A Excited for you!

@kcimc @aman_gif The bigger concern is when we humans are trained to prefer AI output…😉

@aman_gif i’m also skeptical that the scale will ever be so large as for this to be a real concern, but who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

want steel to build a particle detector? you have to source low-background steel—manufactured before contamination from mid-20th century nuclear testing. want to build a text or image generator AI? you’ll have to source low-background training data—collected before 2022.

@rjstein @ngadc Congrats!

I am happy to share the news that I have accepted an offer to join @ngadc as their new Chief Information Officer! Read more about it: nga.gov/press/2022/rob…

@madelinegannon @knightfdn @1null1 @p5xjs @Blender @openframeworks @unitygames Congrats! That’s fabulous!

I am ✨beyond thrilled✨ to be a Knight New Work awardee — thank you to @knightfdn for your support to make creative #robotics more open to artists and designers. What tools do you want to see connected to robots? I’ll start: @1null1 @p5xjs @blender @openframeworks @unitygames

@kcimc @MeetTheMonks Yup, they did the production and bios, collaborating with our in-house creative team. Don’t know if they have a write up, but could put you in touch with someone there if you like.

@workergnome this is wild and exactly what i was looking for. i'm amazed it also works on mobile, even adding a few features. was it basically all built by @meetthemonks? do you know if they have a writeup/teardown?

what are your favorite examples of interactive in-browser explainers that are neither scrollytelling nor outright video games but maybe have elements of both? less bret victor, more like three.js demo. bonus points if it’s a science or cultural heritage thing.
