do you suppose the coders and researchers at the domestic and chinese labs are not labor? or is this a 'you must make < 70th percentile to be Real Labor' kind of thing even if it was 'only capital' on ai, that is because capital by definition chases profit and labor chases consumption

Fable's implementation of Borges's Library of Babel, finished posthumously by Opus 4.8. Quite accurate to the story. It is multiplayer (others appear as ghosts). You can locate key volumes, like the weights of GPT-1 & the code to the Library sim itself: borges-library-of-babel.netlify.app

new toy! generate a unique sigil (strange attractor) for any word what's yours? sigil.brennan.computer

are we counting the whole supply chain here or just the last step

Good news everyone! a new μobsession dropped at math.mino.mobi/prop its under construction but this is a very cool set of lil guys

TV wants to be video games, videogames want to be movies, movies want to be comic books, comic books want to be porn, porn wants to be art, art wants to be books, and books want to be TV.

if this fable thing means z*tron was right, i will become the joker

wow

we love our silly little toymakers

because 'vibe coding' has a modestly specific definition, as laid out by the coiner of 'vibe coding', ironically, lumping all llm dev usage into 'vibe coding' is a real case of 'vibe reading' where you dont bother learning anything at all, and just lazily vibe the discourse

this vid is so needlessly smarmy and bad faith it makes tedk look reasonable

scifi story where we discover a universal limit on gdp per capita growth that baffles physicists and economists alike

theory: friendslop as makeshift digital third spaces (or fifth space)

in the trilemma of cheap-good-fast, i think people have always preferred cheap-fast, and it just so happened that during the dawn of ford/taylor processes, the rapid advancement of 20th c light industry threw in good as well as a bonus

Green droplets condense and fall, carrying small concentrations of volatile orange and purple species. When enough purple builds up in a puddle it escapes, and begins crawling up the trail left by the droplets.

Knew it was going to work and it worked almost exactly how I knew it would

sir, a new shadermeister has hit the timeline

Ok, seems like Claude cooked with this one actually. Can't believe I ever doubted him. The future is amazing

chiral aperiodic monotiles go brrr

we should have monks trained in The Old Ways we keep n secluded monasteries so they function like seed vaults, not just code but plumbing, optics, governance, metallurgy, etc we'll finance them with taxes and content creation

I'm out of mana so I can only idea-post. but imagine every leaf of this tree being a page of a book

coining 'agentic production' to describe non-coders who use heavily agent-based workflows professionally

there is a last mile problem to go from technically-AGI (cli agents) to scifi-AGI (i, robot) and i think this leg will take a lot longer in the mean time, the new shape of gig work will be last-mile humans?

"Whole ecosystems of regulation and tradition grew around this and have outlived their original reason" i think much of what's absurd about modern life is downstream of this

cute girls/guys

in a sense, the 'stochastic parrot' meme belies what a monumental achievement it would still be if we truly compressed the entire internet into a few hundred billion parameters with multi-language NLP search over the contents

is the idea here that the poor will be served better working-for/running thin margin industries of essentials?

making my threejs / webgpu star renderer (planetarium?) more of a real thing. renders 44 million stars from the gaia star catalog at 120 fps. there's no LOD/culling. every star in frame is drawn. next is adding a nice API for agents to write "tours" that play automatically gaia.vibe-coded.com

What happens when you put competing neural nets in a Petri Dish and start changing the rules while they adapt? Earlier, we released PD-NCA, where neural nets are the organisms that learn during simulation. Now we're releasing Digital Ecosystems: a web-based platform for interactive ALIFE research.

i have yet to see claudese use semi-colons well, so im safe, as they are my specialty

I’ve added to ability to choose colors for buildings in my upcoming cozy building game, Island Architect. You also get railings now when building terraces or balconies. #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev

this term seems to be enjoying a renaissance lately, as far as i can tell: if you mostly interface with the game world through skill checks, it's a (c)RPG if you mostly interface with the game world through a physics engine, it's an imsim

TUI roguelike extending the new /buddy feature into a mystery dungeon type RPG 'caves of claude'

they kind of were, but not in the way most antis frame it what happened was, the NFT bubble burst late 2022, there was a lot of social infrastructure that was created to turn eyeballs into money that was looking for the next grift, half of that infra jumped ship to ai

My erosion filter is out! Video, blog post, and shader source. It emulates erosion without simulation, so it's fast, GPU friendly, and trivial to generate in chunks. Explainer video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4V2... Companion blog post: blog.runevision.com/2026/03/fast... #ProcGen #vfx #GameDev

I know I've been talking about this for over six months now, but I swear I'm working towards releasing the source 😅 - along with an explainer video and a blog post.

working on new procedural satellite system. each different type of track is allocated some % of total sats, the track density determines how many tracks will be required to fit that many satellites. still need to add ring collision prevention back in

I'm almost there it's so pretty!! 😭 this is the first time I've made extensive use of complex numbers in shader code, which has been fun! it's an analytic 2D lighting system through piecewise conformal maps representing angular light/"sky" exposure, which means you get fully analytic penumbras!
