🪧 Last week we presented a poster at #SSCI2025: "Embodied Autoencoding Through Neural Cellular Automata". We show that NCAs can learn to compress, transport, and reconstruct complex patterns through extreme spatial bottlenecks using only local interactions.

Ten years ago I woke up in the middle of the night from an uncanny dream. Unable to sleep, I decided to try an experiment that had been on my mind for days. In half an hour, the strange phenomenon that would flood the internet that summer was born. Happy DeepDream day!

Alex Mordvintsev Happy DeepDream day!

When I first came across DeepDream 10 years ago, it had such an impact on me that I left my job and life in Chile and moved overseas just to go deeper into understanding what it meant for art and why the heck this was now possible. It led me down a rabbit hole where I also found

I'm sick of all the software slop. Millions of lines, and 90% of them do not express any ideas. They simply exist to support the other millions of lines. Dead weight abstraction layers that are too costly to refactor away. Plumbing linking old systems to newer systems to the new

I've written a blog post about my recent WebGPU particle life simulation adventures! It presents the formulas used for the model & explains how it works under the hood: lisyarus.github.io/blog/posts/par… Below is a gallery of random systems I've found (links to them are in the article) 👇

New Paper! Darwin Godel Machine: Open-Ended Evolution of Self-Improving Agents A longstanding goal of AI research has been the creation of AI that can learn indefinitely. One path toward that goal is an AI that improves itself by rewriting its own code, including any code

Time to get serious about SwissGPU /SwissGL2

Synthetic ecosystems that autonomously and continuously evolve in silico 👾 An Alifer dream we pursue with Flow-Lenia ! If you are interested in complex systems with (1) emergent creatures and (2) intrinsic evolutionary dynamics, go check our new paper ! A 🧵

I'm almost 40 and I only learned about geometric algebra now. OMG, what I've missed! 🤯

Wow, this file has more SwissGL spirit then SwissGL itself. I think SwissGPU will be based on JS code translator (rather then TSL-like) approach github.com/enkimute/ganja…
