"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."

Finally online: My essay on #PlatformRealism for #Transbordeur. There couldn't be a more appropriate week to publish it, even though when I wrote it last year I couldn't have imagined the extent to which AI slop would become the aesthetic of a new fascism. This essay is a kind of summary of the ideas about #PlatformRealism that I've been mainly developing on various online platforms over the past few years. Reading it now feels a little weird: I think most of the ideas are still valid, but only now are their political implications becoming clear. 1/ https://journals.openedition.org/transbordeur/2299?lang=en

A clever art project? Yes. A great way to illustrate new ways of thinking about and using #AI? Also, yes!

#Paragraphica is a "camera" that geneates a text description of what the "photographer" is capturing, and renders a representation of what it actually looks like

»Thats a legitimately jaw-dropping use of a technology that I'm already feeling pretty jaded and unimpressed by.
Whats the use-case? Who cares, you're photographing alternate dimensions!«

The #Paragraphica: The ultimate “what is a photo?” gadget

The ultimate “what is a photo?” gadget. - The Verge

The Paragraphica camera makes photos, but not in the way you’re used to. Designer Bjørn Karmann rigged the experimental device so that when you hit the shutter, it collects information about where you are, the current conditions, and what you’re looking at — and then feeds that to an AI image generator, which creates a picture for you. He also made a generator for building your own images. Is it a photo? Is it something else? Who knows! I want one.
