Google Bard is a bit too creative. In another chat, where I asked who “Jan-Lukas Else” is, it also said that I developed the “Quarkus programming language”. But this clearly shows the limitations of language models and the current state of AI. Just because the answers sound clever, they are not always right. ⌘ Read more

I think boredom is a real force that pushes ourselves to the edge, to hopefully make a change in life, like going out to see real people. Social media creates this cozy, safe place to keep your mind occupied, letting life pass without realizing it. Social media may prevent users from reaping creative rewards of profound boredom | Hacker News

I haven’t been very “productive” in my spare time lately, in the sense that my creative output has been quite low. It feels quite liberating that I don’t really care.

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking, just as the man who spends too much time in the theater is tempted to be content with living vicariously instead of living his own life.

a microblogging creative coding platform like dwitter, but for sound. users would be encouraged to remix, the output of one persons code would become the input of the new code. only text would be stored on the server, with audio rendered client-side. to save on time, there could be caches of frozen audio for remixes. #halfbakedideas

Babies love putting things in their mouths: dirt, insects, bits of grass, their own poo. They have no sense of fear or self-preservation, and come up with endlessly creative ways to place themselves in mortal peril. Once they learn to talk, their constant experimentation with the world transcends the physical to the philosophical. They want to know everything. They are bottomless pits of curiosity, with very little in the way of attention span or self-discipline. Your typical two-year-old can only concentrate on a task for six minutes at a time.

A good user interface is a lot like a standup routine: you take the deep knowledge of an audience and twist it in creative ways so that they now understand something they couldn’t have imagined on their own.

Media mix is interesting. You can optimize a work for adaptation but that keeps you from taking advantage of features of your medium. The best adaptations are sometimes difficult-to-adapt medium-specific forms that forced creativity (ex. Bakemonogatari)

Interface usability in a nutshell: minimize how often the simplest way to do a thing the user wants to do is 1) hard to imagine before you see it, or 2) hard to understand once observed. Assume the user is more creative than you & less well-informed.

Hot take: the big problem in generative art is not that computers aren’t creative but that computers don’t have taste. We’ve solved that problem by building taste into the mechanisms of generation instead of building filters.

Watch it for a while and it’ll seep into your mind. Tiny doses help creativity, but any larger and it leaves only a frothing mass of ideas.

Those spooky howling noises are only the tower humming to itself. This is a lonely place. It gets really creative when it knows I’m here!
