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. https://t.co/49Qv8ZB0Kn

I made a series of short films as part of my residency @CompassFestLDS, where I worked with 4 local Leeds residents to explore how different age, background, heritage, and life experience affects the way people cook food at home and in tackling the climate crisis. See link in bio

... 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 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.
