Rewrite the original text in the style of Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash. Maintain all key points and original meaning, but transform the tone and style to match the novel’s fast-paced, high-tech, and slightly satirical voice. Use punchy, k

Having a break from making and writing for a few days, so I've had the Python bot running in the background to generate images for me. 

This is another image generated with LoRA_bot.py

Really enjoyed giving a talk and workshop today on Large Language Models to the Critical Studies staff at CSM. We covered the history, how we prompt them, their cultural and sociopolitical significance, and how I use them in my practice and research.
Extracts of my PhD writing filtered through a GPT model fine-tuned on Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. 

The model was prompted to maintain all of the key points and original meaning of my writing, but transform the tone and style to match the novel&rsq
More images generated with LoRA_bot.py 

A python script that continually splices together cut-up texts from a dataset of alt-text POV descriptions of images rendered in 3D digital space. 

The texts are then used to prompt a Stable Diffusion LoRA mo

Wrote a Python bot that continually generates new images with a Stable Diffusion LoRA model fine-tuned on a dataset of images made through my research. 

The script generates prompts as cut-ups from the alt-text metadata that the model
Got the Python browser bot navigating through and rotating around the New art City space now, so it's all ready to go and drive itself in exhibitions. 

These are 2 screen recordings using a new GLB file to populate the space, each using different HD

2 more excerpts from the video essay made for my talk at the @royalacademyschools last month. 

The video, narrated through an AI voice cloned on that of the media theorist Katherine Hayles', lays the ground for the research and speaks about the meth
I'm selling prints of images made with a Stable Diffusion LoRA model I fine-tuned through here for Christmas!
