Happy Holidays from Neowin!


Recommended Posts

Dear all,

 

Another year is coming to an end. I just wanted to say on behalf of everyone here at Neowin that we wish you all the best during these holidays, and we hope you eat and drink too much (well, in moderation ;)) and have a wonderful time with friends, family, or whatever you like to do during this time.

 

For myself, I have flown back to see the family for a few days. It's nice to have a holiday for once during this time! How are you spending, or how have you spent your time?

Me? I'm just chilling with my BIL,niece, and nephew, enjoying the warm Florida weather!

My Mom and Dad will be down there, in the Keys in 3 weeks....

 

Yes, Merry Christmas to everyone!!

 

Had the main family dinner and stuff last week but having son, BIL and SIL over for dinner today. Enjoying the unseasonably warm weather here in Michigan and a green Christmas. Hate snow, so totally glad none around. It's Michigan though so will probably be shoveling and snow blowing by next week! :(

 

Will be mainly just kicking back all day.

In a way I consider this community my online family. We may have our disagreements, squabbles and whatnot but I wouldn't change things. I just wanted to spread the holiday cheer to everyone. (Y)🥳:blush:

I’m trying to act like I didn’t eat twice my body weight in turkey and stuffing.  By the smell leaking from my butt, I don’t think it’s all that successful.

I'm prepping for round two. Everyone will be over in a few hours, I'm drinking a load of coffee in an attempt to free up some space. :whistle:

    • So its a museum of AI prompts? Boring
    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.
    • As long as i get to play GTA 6 before it ends 😂😂
    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
