AI won’t kill literature, it’ll just colonise the middle ground where most writing lives. From calligraphy to photography to synthesisers, every “threat” to the arts created more art. The monasteries will remain.

I’m truly grateful my article "Too Cute to Be a Crime? AI-Generated Lolita Aesthetics and the Legal Limits of Synthetic Girlhood on TikTok" has been published in the International Journal for Crime, Law and AI.
I hope that this will be a small step towards understanding how technology reshapes law and culture.

As usual, @eryk.bsky.social explains this paper perfectly: The so-called “reasoning models” are not reasoning at all – not even by their own industry definitions.

What looks like “structured thinking” is just a longer, more confident hallucination.

I thoroughly enjoyed Antonio Somaini’s lecture tonight on the Politics of Latent Spaces. His reflections on compression as a cultural and epistemic process were truly inspiring — and the sources cited were excellent, too ;) #LatentSpaces #DigitalCulture #NeuralNetworks #MachineVision #AIAesthetics
I thoroughly enjoyed Antonio Somaini’s lecture tonight on the Politics of Latent Spaces at the conference Art in the Age of Average. The new AI-thoritarians.

What a marvel!
Let’s hope no semiologist gets hurt reading this piece :)
Art is becoming increasingly essential in asserting our cultural autonomy against a technological determinism that, more often than not, exists solely in the minds of those who take the Gartner Hype Cycle as gospel and the marketing of major consulting firms as sacred writ.
The space of critique is our salvation.
The future is a space for self-determination.
