#Fabricademy bootcamp 2025
May 19→25
Don't miss this year's bootcamp in Brussels to encounter international fellows in the field of #textile, #engineering and #biology.
I am co-organizing it through the #fablab @GreenFabric and the #fabricademy team (@fabtextiles ).
A great opportunity to test Fabricademy themes and way of working through intense hands-on workshops. It will cover #biomaterials with #mycelium #fungi, #modulardesign, #machineknitting with the #kniterate machine, using the #opensourcehardware machines that we built, #etextile with thermochromic inks.
Don't miss also the #MakerFaire on the following week-end (May 26-27) with the Fabricademy exhibition of final projects and a workshop on #softrobotics.

Boosts are more than welcome!

If this is you, you should definitely prompt the machine to generate a comedic roast of you, the user, based what it knows about your long history of prompts.
Then, ask it for an even spicer take. If you’re feeling particularly self-confident after that, prompt it for a nuclear take.
Godspeed, and remember, vulnerability is the path to #innovation.
Can art help scientists better understand the quantum universe?
"Rich predators still too lazy to develop anything anybody wants to buy, continue poaching other people's heartfelt work to siphon dry and discard later."
There, fixed it for you.

ESSAY: In his essay John R. Gallagher argues that AI-generated texts inherently lack uniqueness and creativity. By selecting from the statistical mean, AI tends to produce content that, while accurate, often feels mundane. Does this reliance on mediocrity stifle innovation in writing?

#Wasserstoff wird immer wieder als eine Antriebsalternative zu Vollstromern ins Feld geführt. Dafür benötigt man jedoch auch #Wasserstofftankstellen für #Brennstoffzellen-Fahrzeuge. 
Obwohl Wasserstoff schon für Busse und Züge genutzt wird, fehlen für den Massenmarkt der Autos noch die Infrastruktur und günstige Preise. Auch die Tankstellen sind sauteuer.

For any anyone that played with LLM tools regularly since Fall 2022, I learned of a strike gold use case.
Leveraging own history, written text, original material, prompt the chatbot to roast yourself.
ChatGPT or Claude followed with a “spicy” roast.
Then, the “nuclear” option.
I can’t think of a better use case to demonstrate eminence, infirmity and #KnowThyself.
Self-deprecation is superpower for those with actual power.
Vulnerability is the path to #innovation.
Are we humans allocating our collective “genius” effectively, @Daojoan wonders? “Because when I look around at our vaunted technological progress, I can't help but notice that we're drowning in slightly better stuff while the rudiments of human flourishing remain stagnant or deteriorate and decay. There's progress here, but it's not science fiction. It's barely even science,” she writes in this essay that also covers how and why we’re trapped in a cycle of over-consumption.

The lifecycle of Rome was: Republic, Empire, then a millennia of Theocratic State, before capitalist #institutions tolerated #governance, economic #innovation, and #culture exchange by the #subaltern #counterpublic in their midst.
If that pattern of #history is applied to the #American Republic, the Creepy Weirdos intend to speed-run…all of it.
