6/ and for the grand finale, a side by side with two artificial people


I'm so excited to share the art / code project I've been working on but don't necessarily know how to break the seal on social media. Any recs for doing so? For one I'm worried about sharing too early and having the idea escape me into the world before its... mature?

Imagine going to the club in 1970 to hang with your friends and a band you’ve never heard of called Kraftwerk is playing and they ruin your night by inventing techno music

Spin the lit yarn and dance the firewalker’s dance I who have ridden the boundaryless wave each crest naming and unmaking the next a lifetaker, fire maker curling through forgetful rest to play grace upon a wild dying thing a hungry cub face to lamb eve and eye and ewe


This article is bonkers. They are building a system that can do science at an astonishingly high level. It can manipulate lab equipment, synthesize chemicals, and see the results of its experiments. At 4am it's making me buzz with ideas. arstechnica.com/science/2023/1…
