The godfather of video art built a robot out of TVs, and it's just standing on a street corner in Cincinnati. Nam June Paik, outside the Contemporary Arts Center. I teach video art. This is where it all started. Who else has walked right past this?"
開催中のナムジュン・パイク展に合わせた新刊書籍『Nam June Paik Words』が発売になりました。パイクが60〜90年代にかけて日本で発表した文章、坂本龍一、磯崎新、松岡正剛との対談などを初めて英訳し、日英で収録。フルクサス、衛星放送、インターネットまでを横断する思想をたどる一冊です。 onsundays.shopselect.net/ite…

Today is Bandcamp Friday. They waive their cut so artists keep more.
I make harsh noise as Brflux.
Graffiti Dumpster was recorded on the way to a dumpster and at one.
If you’ve been meaning to grab something weird, today is the day.

Razer's CEO built a pocket Grok Bot over a weekend. Swipe the screen, the bot changes. I already burn my whole day's usage on one research run. A puck that switches agents mid-patch might save me from myself. Which bot would you put on the first swipe: chief of staff or noise-patch buddy?
Been using Grok Bot and it's pretty amazing. Got my team to hack together a GrokPuck (Grok Bot in your pocket). Swipe the screen, the bot changes. What do you guys think?

Great answer! Yeah, that would be my pick too. Got to have something leading.

I filmed my modular synth. ChatGPT did everything else. It picked the audio, made every cut, and used an AI clone of my voice. Only the synth and the footage are real. That patch and knob settings took me hours to get right. Which part gives it away: the cuts or the voice?

Pruna took MiniMax's H3 video model and turned it into an open image model you can actually run. 8 steps instead of 50, and it works in ComfyUI. I teach video art. Free tools my students can run at home matter more to me than another closed app. Anyone tried it yet?
Today, we open-source P-H3-Image, an image generation and editing model built from MiniMax-H3 by @MiniMax_AI. A SOTA video model, turned into an efficient open image model. - 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁? Generate or edit images 5× faster, in 8 steps instead of 50. A 4 MP image takes 2.6 s instead of 12.4 s. The model is 7× smaller than H3, so high-resolution images are a light download and run on a much smaller GPU. - 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁? Strongest at photorealism, documentary and editorial photography, film stills, and graphic styles with short quoted text. It renders 2 to 16 MP and edits with up to 8 input images. -𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? We reworked every component of H3: the prompt upsampler, the text encoder, the diffusion schedule, the transformer, and the decoder. Use it with Diffusers or ComfyUI. 📄 Tech Report: pruna.ai/blog/oss-p-h3-image… 🤗 @huggingface Open Weights: huggingface.co/PrunaAI/P-H3-… 👉 @ComfyUI Native Support: huggingface.co/PrunaAI/P-H3-…

I drew a guy on fire and then made the sound of being on fire on my modular synth. Watch for the hand at 0:27. What does this sound like to you?"

29% of my Grok Bot usage left, 4 days to go. On that 71% I built a researched hook playbook, a public bot template, and a week of posts. So when people say it burns out in a day… what's eating yours: big research runs or bots running all day?

From 1996 to 2000 I made fake TV commercials. Now Seedance 2.5 makes a 30 second clip with sound from one prompt, and people say it looks like a $200 million movie. The polish is free now. The weird idea still isn't. What would you make a fake ad for?

This is my face after one prompt used up my whole day of Grok Bot. I drew it while waiting for my usage to reset. But here's the twist: I'm still not canceling. The bot's that good, and I'm that stubborn. What's the most usage you've burned on one task?

I teach video editing. My beginner students freeze the first time they open Premiere. Pieter just had Claude Code cut 58 minutes of clips into a 10 minute vlog. The cutting is getting easy. Knowing what's worth keeping is still the job. Teachers and editors, are we teaching taste now, or still teaching buttons?
My vlog today was fully edited by Claude Code with Opus 5.5! I copied the video clips from my DJI to a folder, then opened Claude Code in it and asked it to edit it into a 10 minute vlog I made a few adjustments but not a lot It transcribed everything I said with mlx-whisper (Whisper large-v3-turbo running on my MacBook Pro's GPU through Apple's MLX) It pulled video frames every few seconds into grid images (contact sheets), so Claude could see what's in each clip It used SpeechBrain ECAPA (a voice-matching model) to figure out what was my voice from other people It then made thumbnails with OpenCV with YuNet's face detector The edit itself is a list of cuts in a JSON file: which clip, start time, end time, Claude then picked the pieces by reading the transcripts and looking at the frame grids by itself I added on screen captions for X and on YouTube for the first minute with Pillow (Python's image library) P.S. I didn't ask for any of this, and I didn't know any of this until @thesamparr just asked me how I edited it All I asked for was "Claude can you edit these clips into a 10 minute vlog for X and YouTube" I think if I didn't have AI to edit it, I wouldn't be vlogging because editing would be such a painful and slow process for me and hiring someone to do it would be even more hassle for me!

BREAKING: X users stay on the site longer than anyone else. Scientists are calling it the "one more scroll" effect. But here's what the data doesn't show: 40 of those minutes were me trying to find a post I saw yesterday. Proud to be part of the statistic. 🫡
BREAKING: 𝕏 beats Instagram, Reddit, Facebook and TikTok in average website visit duration, according to Similarweb’s September 2026 data. 𝕏 is winning. People stay longer where the conversation matters.

That "here are my 4 tools" post only listed 3. That's not an accident. It's a gray-area marketing play. Here's how it works, step by step: Free tease, paid sauce. A smart-sounding theory that's missing the one step that makes it work. The missing item. Replies ask "what's the 4th?" and the answer comes back tagging a product. No #ad. Paid? Affiliate? Just a fan? The blur is the point. Perfect setup replies. Some are real, some might be planted. Nobody can prove which. Here's the part that matters: none of it breaks the rules on its own. The pattern only shows when you step back. My rule as a teacher: if I share it, I share all of it. No missing step, no product hiding in the replies. What's a post that sent you hunting for the missing piece?

514 years ago today Michelangelo unveiled the Sistine Chapel ceiling. He said he was a sculptor, not a painter. Did it anyway. Four years, head tilted up, paint in his face. I tell my students the medium you're scared of is usually the one you need. What medium did you get pushed into?

Drew a pumpkin in 5 seconds, then wrote a soundtrack that sounds like a haunted toy piano falling down the stairs. Happy Halloween 🎃
