Making by Hand, AI in the Room & The Death of the Bird
10 links · 2 min. read
10 Things is a rare blend of the ten best things online that inspired us, caught our attention or made us smile. Over a decade of human curation, 365 issues in, zero filler.
Something physical keeps asserting itself this fortnight: a Czech studio builds a game world from cardboard; a Mexican artist fills a former temple with living text; and OpenAI researchers take to the streets over AI's creep toward weapons contracts. Design leaders are asking the same thing from a different angle — what does it mean to lead a creative team when the machine is already in the room? Meanwhile, The Verge has filed the definitive archive of Twitter's collapse, using the tweets that watched it die.
