An interesting story in The Conversation, at first glance it looks like a story about language, large language models and tech speak, but this story is more about how some online language is purposely being disguised to avoid monitors and other algorithm. No surprise, and as long as there are watching eyes, there will be codes, deceptions and dog whistles.

It’s complicated and as more artificial language is created it will only get more complicated. Free speech or moderation the spectrum is vast and the debate will continue to be endless. The best way to determine where a conversation is going, what the facts are and the motivations behind the people communicating, is to be open to listening and asking questions.

Moss and Fog bring us a fascinating look at tables. How a designer looks at the world and then turns that vision into stuff will always interest us. A typical end table that you might put the books you are reading on top, gets a slot in the middle of it for more books. Now it’s part table, part book shelf and part art. The work is created by Deniz Aktay and is featured on Moss And Fogg.

R.E.M. put Murmur out 40 years ago, stories from the boys in the band will take you back to the 80s and remind you of the scrappy band known as R.E.M. A [re] listen to this album will take you back to more than that, and it holds up today.
