AI and the American Smile. How AI misrepresents culture through a facial expression
A fascinating article about the assumed universality of American concepts like "smiling", "emotion", and where feelings exist, as experienced through AI models. (As someone dealing with AI's inability to render a British accent, this is of interest, and reveals AI as yet another imperial project.)

Right Woos Left | Political Research Associates
When I was a young'un I used to listen to a lot of late night left politics on KPFA. That's how I discovered Noam Chomsky. But it turned out a lot of the more out-there guys were actually rightwing loonies, but insinuating themselves into the left because they spoke out against the Gulf War. A good dive into this pre-Internet moment.

The Impotent Decoration: An Interview with P. Adams Sitney
Currently reading Visionary Film, an essential text on 20th century experimental film, and I began to wonder who author P. Adams Sitney is/was. This 2015 interview with him at the end of his tenure (and tether) is a wonderful, bridge-burning farewell to academia.

Making Flippy Floppy | The Ethan Hein Blog
David Byrne has a distinctive singing style, but then, so (potentially) does everyone. it’s just that few people explore the contours of their own voice to find out what they might be capable of. You might never be able to sing “well” by some conventional standard of “well”, but you can certainly learn to sing like you. The main thing you need is confidence, and apparently you don’t even need much of that, because Byrne himself is clearly a shy and socially awkward person. The question is, how do we structure a musical society that gives more people the emotional permission they need to try themselves out?
