If you know boxing you know how insane it is that Usyk has gone in and backed up/ beaten up Fury, who is clearly a very good boxer, 40lbs heavier and 6 inches taller than him twice.
Usyk isn’t getting enough credit - far more significant than Roy Jones beating Ruiz for example.

Art should do more than simply create or critique, it should reorient us to the profound ethical, philosophical, and aesthetic possibilities inherent in our entanglement with the world.
The more I think about it, talking about possible futures without considering multitudes of pasts doesn't make much sense. Attributing linearity in one direction and ignoring it in the other.
A project was flashed up during a presentation today at MIT Media Lab which could be collected on Ethereum (for 0.42 Eth)
When someone pointed this out in the audience, everyone laughed.
Is crypto still a laughing stock?

Was talking with a physics professor at MIT today about inflation (space-time not the boring kind) and curiously his theory was that space-time inflation started before (and even led to) the Big Bang
This of course sounds strange. For many non-creationist folks the Big Bang is the genesis of everything.
So it begs the question; how much time and what was there prior to the Big Bang? Billions of years? Eternity? Femtoseconds? Was there simply time but nothing else?
Fascinating to think about. He also invited me to take his course on Black holes and time travel 🤓

We were promised a revolution.
Instead, we got memes, mid AI, and XRP.

Been building a lot of stuff with my hands and machines in the last month or so.
Here's my first attempt at crafting with a CNC: it's for an upcoming installation that I'm also working on.
Took a lot of measuring, CAD work, and cutting 2 sheets of 4x8 plywood stock on a large shopbot.
I learned so much making this. From how to make slot mechanisms, to the joys of tolerance. I did not enjoy working in inches or as a new friend calls them "freedom units".

Make abstracts poetic again.
probably nothing 🍄
Been operating on weekly research/ build sprints recently across a variety of domains.
From crafting furniture to PCBs and even expressions of Interspecies communication between celestial and terrestrial beings.
The next series of sprints will be far more ambitious.

As I get more experienced I’ve learned it’s better to let things organically come to you than swim against the current. Seeds planted long ago that were hibernating are now starting to sprout. Energy that could have been lost inbetween is stored and ready for action.
Just downloaded the figma app on iOS and all I can do is view and comment existing files, what a missed opportunity!
What’s your go to app for on-the-go design work?

I’m sure devcon is great and all, but I’m pretty sure I’m having more fun slicing trees with machines
John Maeda and Hiroshi Ishii at MIT Media Lab yesterday
Two legends of design that you should be aware of. Grateful to be able to share space with these creators of the future we know inhabit.

What happens when we reduce life to information and everything to computing?
For example, if biological materiality, like a body, is reimagined through an info-computational based lens, it becomes a form of technology itself.
Are we comfortable with the implications of this?

Moving to a place where you can terminally build IRL will really knock the terminally online out of you
AI is not a panacea.
It is just a local anesthetic.

After a lot of time consumed in the digital ether, these days I'm enjoying being more present in the physical world, building tangible things with bits and atoms.
Our bodies aren’t just human—they’re living archives of the world around us. From plants to animals to the inorganic, all of that continues to live within us, shaping who we are in ways we don’t even realize
