The potential of offline, private LLMs and AI

Cultural

Choreographer collaborated with researchers to create a human-AI system based on traditional Thai dance principles. This system replicates the “No. 60” principles’ effects through computational procedures. This allows practitioners to interact with representations of ancestral choreographic knowledge, acknowledging non-Western knowledge systems often overlooked in colonial artificial intelligence understandings.

Systemic

Activists trained computer vision classifiers to detect Safariland tear gas canisters among the millions of images shared online. Warren Kanders, vice-chairman of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s board of directors, resigned after months of mounting tear gas protests over his company Safariland’s manufacture and distribution of military products.

Material

Architects use computer vision in Ukraine's reconstruction effort in a project called Circularity on the Edge, which analyses drone footage of bombed-out buildings to identify reusable materials, demonstrating how artificial intelligence can make it faster and easier to identify salvageable materials within damaged buildings for sustainable reconstruction.

AI poisoning

2025-12-11 11:01:08 UTC

A super interesting video about a process of silently disrupting music in order to throw off illegal scrapers that download copyrighted music to train generative music AI models -- has lots of insight into the training of models, issues around copyright and AI training and lots more

Anthropics ‘AI constitution'

2025-12-11 11:04:10 UTC

The 'constitution' behind Anthropic's Claude LLM -- instead of having humans train the morals of their LLM, Anthropic trains Claude's morals using this extensive constitution document that establishes rights and wrongs. How does an AI company establish ethics, and who are they to draw moral lines? With a quick skim through their constitution you'll quickly find some questionable and confusing clauses.

A - Z Conversations about resistance and generative AI

2025-12-11 11:07:59 UTC

A very nice zine exploring ways to resist generative AI, with some great counterarguments, AI alternatives, and generally interesting perspectives. You can read through the zine if you scroll down a bit on this website.

LALAL.Ai - Vocal and Instrumental Splitter

2025-12-11 19:58:01 UTC

Great free website I use with my work to easily split vocals from instruments to create music samples.

Teachable Machine

2025-12-11 19:59:42 UTC

Teachable Machine is a web-based tool that makes creating machine learning models fast, easy, and accessible to everyone. You are able to train a computer to recognize your own images, sounds, & poses.

Dreams and Data Sept 2025 Exhibition at C Ø P P E R F I E L

2025-12-11 20:05:44 UTC

From the earliest myths to modern algorithms, humanity has sought to understand itself through the tools it creates. Dreams and Data brings together six artists whose practices delve into the entwined evolution of artificial intelligence and the human psyche, exploring how technology mirrors, manipulates, and magnifies our inner worlds.

In the architecture of artificial intelligence, we continue to borrow from biology. Neural networks, genetic algorithms, hallucinations — terms that suggest proximity between cognitive processes and machine logic. But what these borrowed metaphors betray is a deeper entanglement: our persistent tendency to model machines after the mind, and in doing so, to test the contours (and limits) of both.
