  1. "In more than one way, #generativeAI, with its promise to save and even abolish labor while consuming enormous resources, including often precarious and badly paid #humanlabor, might represent the ultimate form of #capitalistgimmick. By turning this gimmick into a tangible gadget [Paragraphica], Karmann has created a #philosophicaltoy in the truest sense: a physical model that allows us to grasp some of the underlying mechanisms of AI’s impact on our current #digitalvisualculture."

I refer to this as #CyberneticUnderstanding of AI—which is meant as an oppositional concept to #SimulativeAI.

    A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
    A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist. -Louis Nizer, lawyer (6 Feb 1902-1994)
