Sex toys and sexy post-structuralist theorists? Yes. My nearly two hour lecture on accelerationism is available at this link.
Many have heard about accelerationism as a radical idea, but less are familiar with what accelerationist philosophers actually say. I think their work is more important than ever in a time of intense crisis. From fe...

This is, in spirit, "part 2" to the AI Wars video, but I've decided to refashion it to act as a stand alone video. Partly because the first AI Wars video didn't really perform well, so something advertised as "part 2" would just be worse. Also because this video covers ground ...

We all know about AI slop, but what about "human slop"? Is it a thing? I've eaten at Taco Bell before, so I can definitively say Yes. What differentiates "human slop" from "AI slop"? What makes something "sloppy" in the first place? In this Patreon exclusive, I go over some of these questions and explore different types of "human slop."

Regarding the video, I keep wondering to myself: if I had the choice, would I do i...

It turned out that the IRS finally cashed in my tax check and charged my account before I could transfer money into it. But it was my fault for not planning. I take responsibility.

Well, here's Act 1. It will be going live tomorrow, so enjoy it one day early at full quality. Let me know if there are any technical issues with it.
There's a glitch where the frame will freeze at random points. I'm going to re-render the video and upload later. But the only fix right now I think is just skipping back five seconds...
2025-05-01 16:01:21 +0000 UTC View PostHello,
Before I release the rest of Part 1 of AI Wars, even in a semi public platform like Patreon, I’m looking to get initial reactions from artists and creators who are skeptical, or especially self identified haters, of AI. Perhaps some of you have been open to change given my Patreon activity in the past several months, but I’m sur...

I've been sitting on the first hour of AI Wars to share with you all. This is only the first hour of the first part of what is overall estimated to be 4 hours worth of content. Keep that in mind. This is also only in 1080p due to space constraints so some of the spotlight parts look off. The substance is what matters, though.

Just wanted to give a process update. I am Working on the new video about AI. This is the most ambitious project I've ever done, but I am trying to get it released in a timeframe that is not unlike my previous timelines (basically, trying to upload at least every 4 months). This is both due to creative necessity and financial constraints. I feel...

Hey all! Just a reminder we will be having our Identity Politics Town Hall this sunday, Feb 16th at 4pm EST.
There will be some recommended readings:
If you're in the academic AI space, you're probably familiar with Emily Bender and Alex Hanna. They're some of the tech industry's most staunch and eloquent critics, and I had the pleasure of talking with them yesterday for my upcoming video. Clips from this convo will make it into my final video, but the full conversation will only be available...

In light of Trump's executive order on trans kids, I felt the need to write a video in response. At the same time, what can I really say? I hope that offering part of my story is enough for now.
Every time trans kids are in the news, it's always for a bad reason. It's usually a reason that fills me with fear. It's a strange fear. I imagin...

Sorry I've been slacking a bit in terms of Town Halls. This AI video is taking over my life and I expect it to be this way for a bit. But it will be well worth it.
