Super stoked that Wild Imaginarium is featured in @architectsjournal! @uah and I recently wrote about how we used AI in the co-creation process, the impact of AI on architecture/design and why it’s useful to think of AI as a cultural infrastructure. architectsjournal.co.uk/news…

... as an immersive interactive fiction at Festa do Outono, using AI/LLM to create a conversational interface for some of the non-human inhabitants of the park, so we can see what it's like to deliberate and make collective multi-species decisions about the future.

This time next month, I'll be free for new client work after a pretty full on summer with @superflux I tend to thrive at the intersection of design, climate change and tech ethics. I can freelance or work in-house. DMs open. #opentowork linkedin.com/in/designswarm/

this is key to understanding Cybersyn - it was never just about data or efficiency, it was about distributed governance, collective decision-making, bi-directional control/feedback/goals, etc. something never attempted before at such scale.
"Socialist AI" in this context doesn't mean capitalist AI carried out by socialists. Rather, it sees intelligence as social and distributed between humans and machines. And it wants to boost the human side (via free education, public instituitons, etc) and not only the tech one.
