The Alms Race: A Brief History of Web2
The Alms Race: The escalating development of product features providing direct financial plumbing (and community) tools to users occurring across the legacy Web2 ecosystem.

How to Watch Youtube Faster Than 2x Playback Speed
It has been a deep ongoing frustration of mine that Youtube’s video player caps out at 2x playback speed. Here’s how to go faster
AI Good Content Week
It’s been a good week for sensible AI content, here’s some things that I think are worth checking out on the subject.
Future Music
I am fixated on the vocal static. I hear at the edges the AI-anna Grande model unspooling into pure material waveform. This is future music.
Stars
I came across a new (to me) performance of Eriks Esenvalds’ Stars. It’s one of my favourite choral pieces.
Mickey in the Metaverse | 2235
As a symbol of the copyright regime of the 20thC. A permissive Mickey in the metaverse seems like an interesting experiment to try.

New Cultural Technologies | 2231
The invention of ML tools is as significant as the printing press. These technologies will derive the creative practice & economy of the 21stC

The cactus house is laid out like a body, a womb, a heart and stepping stones representing the cardinal directions and the elements.
The Prompt in Interactive Fiction and AI Art | 2132
Sketching out some ideas around the relation between the shared indistinguishable surface of interactive fiction games and using GAN’s to create art. What comes out when I put this thing in?
This is All Happening Right Now | Interdependence.fm
I was a guest on Holly Hendon and Mat Dryhurst’s excellent podcast Interdependence.fm this week.
Sources of Value vs Organising Value
How we organise value is of fundamental concern to the Dweb and coming Metaverse.
My Media Ecology | 2027
Art x Advanced Technologies, Growing Up a Punk, Trauma Talks and Interdependence
Do Everything
I decided that this year is the year of ‘DO EVERYTHING’. I’m interested in making, doing, being and belonging. Filling my life up full of stuff I want to do.
The Last Post??
*If* providing everything goes well next week. This should be the last post on this blog from me.
