We're running a workshop at ACM UMAP on parametric modeling and design for complex interactive domains (game PCG, data/AI interfaces, interactive installations, etc.). June 8 in Gothenburg (in-person). If you're interested, send in a 1-2 page blurb outlining a position, demo/tool, or case study!
We are demanding that EU co-legislators reject attempts in the AI Omnibus to remove a key transparency safeguard from the AI Act.
We cannot open a loophole that would let providers exempt themselves from the AI Act’s high risk requirements with no transparency www.accessnow.org/press-releas...
Video up now of the great AIIDE '25 presentation given by our student Jonathan Morse!
I get a 404 API error from my end, though I am also not using US coords :)

COMIC: What Artists Do
I like the bit about not annoying them :) For some people, just seeing somebody else is annoying
This looks really interesting. Seems primarily targeted at cog-sci and/or linguistics research, with Portal 2 just the example problem-solving domain, but probably also of interest to game-studies and game-AI people.
You are right with the whole toc but in their proceedings systems you can filter by topic and then it feels similar in scale to aiide. So yes, the entire catalogue would kill me and I also do not care about a lot of topics and still get interesting variety after the filter.
Measuring daily progress :)
I had not thought about this, for me it is right now DIS,CHIPlay,CHI,TEI as I find lots of inspirational papers on the fringes.
For some models this could be the shared user profile though, so the extra information the user does not enter into the prompt to create the soft prompt.
Yes that is true but the point is that for a project I am looking into, the outputs and the activations are available. I am also not entirely sure how well it works because I did not dig in sufficiently but if you get activations you should be able to reconstruct the input, not the training data.
I only skimmed the abstract but if it is true this will open up lots of interesting work.
New York pals! Don't miss this one: @fredschroeder.bsky.social and I saw the traveling exhibition at Angoulême, and hooo nelly it was great!!
"Amazon strategised about ways to keep the public in the dark over the true extent of its #datacentres’ water use…
#Amazon executives warned that #transparency was “a one-way door”…
“Amazon hides its #water consumption,” was one hypothetical headline"

It might have or need 4 of those ;) but what else does it entail?
The key issue for me would be what you define as intelligent? If you mean perceived behaviour from a human observer, I think that is possible. Additionally, we attribute a lot to embodiment so we would need a cat-ish robot body as well.
Thanks to everyone who has submitted to VINCI 2025! Looking forward to great program! Registration is now live at: vinci2025.games.cg.jku.at/registration/ #infoviz
Not necessarily, I have heard that also from musicians and performers, for music I think your argument holds especially considering the high degree of Automation in Mainstream music for performance it feels different as genAI can't easily replace a performance.
On my way to an Eutopia network meeting in the city linked closest to the image from within the plane ;)
Last week we ran the 2nd in person meeting of the gametable.network cost action, the working group on procedural content generation for games met at the University of Gothenburg for exploring next directions and future work.
The only coffee worth getting :)
Hi Joris, I hope you had a good vacation. I can't dm you somehow, would be great if you had some time to chat.
Short post by @rost.me arguing that calling LLMs "generative AI" is misleading nowadays, since generating plausible text is really only one of many things they do (he proposes the term "interpretive AI"). rost.me/2025/05/27/i...
Don’t forget to apply by Saturday!

@jorisdormans.bsky.social Hi Joris,just saw you are in bluesky what is the best way of contacting you in a less open letter way?

Yesterdays painting. With everything happening right now, the best thing I can do to regulate myself and keep from going into overwhelmed shutdown is just paint. If something cool comes out of it awesome, but the act of painting to get out of this shitty brain space is what’s important. #artsky 🎨

How to think about games as a way of approaching AGI,... maybe?
