#kagi, one of the very few internet services that is completely worth the money, has added “LinkedIn Speak” to its translator as a destination language.

Here’s what it did about my sock.

In two weeks, I will be playing in a new theater project: DOLOS!

We'll be doing live visuals, live music, live performance, and live emotions! Looking forward to playing.

We've made a little trailer with some sneak peeks:

The worst thing about online learning is that everything has become a video. Every code tutorial. Every design tutorial. Nobody actually writes out a guide anymore. It's just "hey guys welcome to my tutorial" and watching 10 minutes of content that isn't remotely relevant...

"In 1999, I interviewed Prince for TIME and he told me to leave my tape recorder off because he didn’t trust what future technology might do with unauthorized recordings of his voice.

At the time, I thought Prince was being paranoid ... I realize now that Prince wasn’t paranoid, he was prescient."

It's Time to Rage Against the AI Music Machine

If AI music takes over "humans will begin to echo the machines, and there will be a downward spiral into slop."

This Sunday 8 February I will be hanging around at Viernulvier as part of the Jong Panel (Young Panel). Feel free to stop by and have a chat, it's free!

With the Jong Panel, we question and advise this institution by providing a young and fresh viewing point.

What can Viernulvier do to improve? What would you like to see? What do you think a Jong Panel should do? Join us in the housewarming and let's talk! 🔥

With the Cookie Collective we worked on a playful exhibition for an immersive experience. We used @godotengine to create games, received input from controllers with serial port, send events to an audio server through OSC and upload a 7286x380 video signal through NDI to 11 video projectors.

I wrote a three-month review of my new baby. https://joshcollinsworth.com/blog/baby-review

My review of the Nüborn Baby at 3 months

My Nüborn Baby arrived in October, and now that I've had a few months to get used to it, I thought I'd write up a review, in case you were thinking of getting one for yourself.
