"The media has largely let [tech companies] set the terms of the debate, right down to the terminology used in any discussion of these systems."

From Nanna Inie and me in Tech Policy Press on how to spot and resist anthropomorphizing language in the discourse about so-called "AI".

We share a responsibility to create and use empowering metaphors rather than misleading language, write Emily M. Bender and Nanna Inie.

I've been sharing this to relatives and presented it as "the AI-error".
(or maybe AI-errand ?)
It is that of the media but also that of managers!

The other day the graphic-card maker talked about physAI that understands... it's really the same error and realizing this is so important to turn back tools to... #instruments (in the sense of the instrumental-approach at least).

@Lee_Holmes - Oh neat! I'll look into it, thank you!

On the topic of making fipple flutes yourself, I've seen several 3D printed ones used online. I might try my hand at that in the future as well:

So in practicing with the tin whistle, seeing folks suggest getting a metronome (and even a tuner later on when I buy one that can be tuned)...

...and I found out they make apps for that now. Tuners and metronomes...

What a time to be alive.

@tinker BTW, if you're enjoying that - another really fun one is a native american flute. You can make one out of PVC for basically nothing. Because of the built-in scale, it's great for noodling on and just doing what sounds nice (ignoring sheet music and songs etc.) https://www.instructables.com/PVC-Native-American-Flute-in-A/

Have you heard of the carnyx? How about Delia Derbyshire? Joropo? How many instruments have you seen made from PVC and played well?

I published a piece with 14 videos and narratives on music for the curious. Cultural and indigenous instruments, do-it-yourself innovators, and creative use of traditional instruments.

Curious? Read, learn, and watch:

I hope you love it! 🎧

Recently I've been working with analog magnetic sensors for reading keyboard position, velocity and aftertouch.

Wrote a quick FM-synthesis engine for some sweet 1980s synth bells. Then took the prototype keyboard for a test drive on one of them free jam-tracks. : }

This might be a slightly odd request but this is the fediverse after all…

Does anyone have a sextant I can borrow?

I want to have some navigation-related activities for a workshop later in the month and this would be fun.

@rachel maybe some tags will connect your request to the right audience. 😊
