Looping generative animation of floating 3D cubes in red, yellow, and pink, arranged on a white grid with blue lines, dynamically shifting in position and size to create an evolving geometric display.

A camera pans around a cube made of small, multicolored LED lights arranged in a 3D volumetric grid. The lights change colors in patterns as the cube is shown from different angles. Background music by DESTROY WITH SCIENCE plays.

New semester means new AI policy for the syllabus. This is drawn from my past policy, a very concise post by Mel Hogan on BlueSky, and from reading "Empire of AI" this summer. For context, this is for a creative coding class in an art department:

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE STATEMENT
While the use of AI tools (including ChatGPT and other AI powered writing or image technologies) may be tempting, it is important to understand the following:

Ethical Problems: All publicly available high profile LLMs are built using stolen data, exploitative labor practices, and require vast amounts of natural resources which worsens our climate crisis.

Negative Impacts on Learning: Multiple studies have shown the AI use can erode creative and critical thinking skills, the very things you are here to cultivate.

The Essence of Art: At its core, art is about cultivating one's own personal point of view and process. It is about making thousands of small choices that culminate in works that reflect who you are and what you care about. AI flattens and streamlines this process, ironing out all the wrinkles that make art interesting and robbing you of the opportunity to cultivate yourself through your practice.

So, in this course we will not be using AI tools. If you are caught using AI for any class work, it will result in a zero on the associated assignment and perhaps referral to the Office of Undergraduate Academic Integrity depending on severity. The one exception to this rule is that if you desire to make work that critically engages with AI, you should consult with me before using any such tools. If approved, the use of AI tools must be properly cited and acknowledged in all submissions.

This is your friendly reminder that you could be making #PaperObjects with #Python and #py5, you know?

(Mind you that GitHub images are mostly failing to load here today for some unknown reason)

Woohoo, 3D-native LED animations! 🙆

Made with unreleased version of https://blinksy.dev, a Rust LED library for embedded micros. 🟥 🟩 🟦

A glowing LED cube displays colors flowing over its faces. The cube is sitting in a stand made from grid beam. A person turns the stand around and around, showing the cube from all sides, while the colors continue to flow around seamlessly. Ambient music plays in the background.
