Emotional AI Firmware Updates: A Human Upgrade or the Path to Digital Numbness?

Imagine waking up anxious, stressed, or carrying an emotional weight you’d rather not face—and instead of turning to therapy or introspection, you’re offered an “Emotional Firmware Update.” One click, and the discomfort vanishes—replaced by instant calm and contentment.

Tempting? Maybe. But at what cost?

In my latest newsletter, I explore a future that feels increasingly possible: one where artificial intelligence doesn’t just influence how we live—but how we feel.

The question? 👉 Are we enhancing our lives with AI—or slowly trading away what makes us human?

If you’re someone who enjoys thinking about the intersection of#technology, emotion, and humanity’s next chapter, I invite you to read it—and share it with others who might appreciate the reflection.

Read it here, share it, and please subscribe to it. It is free!!! 😉

#SocialNetworks that are fed by an #algorithm are causing much harm to you. Just one example of many: karl-voit.at/2024/07/13/social

Please do convince your friends and relatives to try out a healthy alternative like the #Fediverse here: karl-voit.at/2024/06/18/Fedive

When you visit your friends and family, tell them about not having #endlessscrolling or #doomscrolling. Tell them about being able to read unfiltered comments and articles. Tell them about not destroying your mental health all the time, following some #influencers that show a wrong picture of the world and the people.

Accounts on servers like graz.social are for free. (Donations welcomed: info.graz.social/spenden/ )

Have a happy weekend!

I wrote a brief piece on how the Fediverse helped me discover new and unusual concepts that reignited my enthusiasm for writing through tech minimalism.

Kudos to @HailsandAles and @denis; without you, this could happen, but not this fast

"When [the upper & lower bounds coincide], the #algorithm is deemed optimal — inexorably bounded from above & below, leaving no room for further refinement. ... They again broke the record, lowering the upper bound to (log n)*(log log n)^3 — equivalent to (log n)^1.000…1. In other words, they came exceedingly close to the theoretical limit, the ultimate lower bound of log n." quantamagazine.org/new-book-so

Pattern Club

Updates from London Pattern Club

Hello! I’m James, and I organise events for London Pattern Club. We have a few events coming up next week, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to update you on our activities.

Craft Group & Socials at The Peckham Pelican

After the popularity of our craft groups at The Glitch, we’ve found a bigger location at The Peckham Pelican. From March to June, our events will take place on the fourth Wednesday of the month from 7-9PM. These events are intended to offer a space for people involved in algorithmic creative practices to connect and collaborate, and for newcomers to discover algorithmic crafts.

You can find details for our upcoming events and RSVP via our lu.ma page.

London Pattern Club in Softissues

An article I wrote about London Pattern Club will be appearing in Softissues, a new publication from the creative studio holobiont. The article reflects on the group’s origins, my motivations for starting it, and our journey so far, and it features some great photos of our craft group taken by Ava Majumdar. I’m very excited to read all the other contributions, which consider counter-narratives to the idea of ‘softness’.

There’s a free launch party for the publication taking place at The Ivy House, Nunhead, on March 25th from 6PM. There’ll be readings, performances, live visuals and a DJ set, and copies of the publication will be available for purchase on a sliding scale.

Open Call for Artwork

We recently organised an open call for artists to contribute designs for our flyers and promotional materials. That open call has now ended, and we’re pleased to announce that we’ve selected designs by V Buckenham and Rianna Suen (below).

Design by Rianna Suen.Design by V Buckenham (using Select Mono Italic by Michael McMaster).

We’ll be offering each artist our time, materials and assistance to create up to 10 A3 silkscreen prints of their artwork at South London Makerspace in May 2025.

And that’s all for now! As always, if you’d like to get involved in organising Pattern Club, or you have an idea for a fun workshop or activity, please reach out to us via our Discord server.

Dates for upcoming craft groups. March 26th, April 23rd, May 28th and June 25th, 7-9PM at the Peckham Pelican, SE15 5PY.

On top of banning all Recommender Systems on social media, we must change from being powerless users of Tech giant services into having democratic collective control of algorithms on all services we use!

Tech platform co-ops creating apps and services which users can democratically and collectively control 🙌

'Algorithms have the character of a sticky jelly that seeps into every nook and cranny, and once it hardens, it’s hard to peel off.

Learning to control algorithms will ensure that they do not end up controlling us: our clicks, our tastes, our individual and collective thoughts and imagination. “We want to democratize knowledge of these tools and open them up to the public.”'

And, following the dictates of ‘likes,’ algorithms erase differences and identities and transform us into passive users. Are we losing our personality?

It seems that many people are disappointed about Disney's new #SnowWhite movie remake. I see a lot of people bashing it, but it's hard to find in my #ActivityPub feed. I know my ActivityPub feed doesn't come with an (recommendation) #algorithm which is a pro, but it could also be a con for some. It would be awesome if ActivityPub became a great way for me to see what a broader range of people are thinking. I prefer ActivityPub with an algorithm - a proper, manageable algorithm.

Karatsuba Matrix Multiplication and Its Efficient Hardware Implementations

arxiv.org/abs/2501.08889

arXiv logo
arXiv.orgKaratsuba Matrix Multiplication and its Efficient Custom Hardware ImplementationsWhile the Karatsuba algorithm reduces the complexity of large integer multiplication, the extra additions required minimize its benefits for smaller integers of more commonly-used bitwidths. In this work, we propose the extension of the scalar Karatsuba multiplication algorithm to matrix multiplication, showing how this maintains the reduction in multiplication complexity of the original Karatsuba algorithm while reducing the complexity of the extra additions. Furthermore, we propose new matrix multiplication hardware architectures for efficiently exploiting this extension of the Karatsuba algorithm in custom hardware. We show that the proposed algorithm and hardware architectures can provide real area or execution time improvements for integer matrix multiplication compared to scalar Karatsuba or conventional matrix multiplication algorithms, while also supporting implementation through proven systolic array and conventional multiplier architectures at the core. We provide a complexity analysis of the algorithm and architectures and evaluate the proposed designs both in isolation and in an end-to-end deep learning accelerator system compared to baseline designs and prior state-of-the-art works implemented on the same type of compute platform, demonstrating their ability to increase the performance-per-area of matrix multiplication hardware.
