After one more year of intensive work and numerous test runs, a new major update for github.com/chrxh/alien is finally polished and ready. It offers possibilities I had only dreamed of before. 🪐 YouTube: youtu.be/dSkxvi9igqQ #ArtificialLife #generativeart #Cuda

The simulation parameter window is the heart of ALIEN. It has now been replaced by a much more potent version, enabling features such as naming, reordering, opening in a separate window, and cloning of parameter zones and radiation sources. To handle the growing number of…

Very proud to have collaborated with @akarshkumar0101. @SakanaAILabs & others in a significant step forward for artificial life: guiding the search for artificial life with foundation models! Time for the AI revolution to pump some energy back into alife too!

Does this make my point? I think it makes my point Don't worry about the point, just look at it


ALIEN v4.11 has been released. Alongside numerous smaller improvements it provides advanced autosave functions and an improved user experience due to asynchronous data transfer to the file system and server. YouTube: youtu.be/kAhbZK-ibng GitHub: github.com/chrxh/alien

Remember this scene in Terminator 2?


The next plot twist: The once highly aggressive beasts have split into different lineages and have become noticeably more passive. Most now resemble plant-like creatures, forming an endless forest of biomass that sustains an entire ecosystem around them. The spiky creatures…

What a nice way to utilize your 4090. Run a fucking simulated universe with evolution running in it, that produces aggressive creatures, about which the author doesn't know how they work.

... 2 days later, without much having happened, new type of organisms suddenly appear everywhere. Most of them are kind of asleep and others act extremely fast and attack their opponents with full broadside. I don't know exactly how they function. Everything on these organisms…

You can scarcely go a day at present without hearing debates on TV/radio about the existential risk of #AI. But did you know people were discussing the same thing in the 1860s? Check out Rise of the Self-Replicators (for free!) to learn more tim-taylor.com/selfrepbook/ #selfrepbook


A modification of my last simulation developed interesting behaviors after two days. Things are heating up there. Some creatures have learned to recognize barriers and keep their distance to avoid the death zones - a behavior I had anticipated and hoped evolution would produce.…


It's very nice to see alien-project being featured in @gorillasu wonderful newsletter. I'll be working on updating the documentation for my project. 😉

Newsletter is out! ✨ 📬 this week: 1. @chrx_h's Artificial Life Simulations 2. On Procedural Street Modeling 3. Who is an Artist in the Software Era by @manovich 4. 10 years of Dear ImGui by @ocornut 5. It's time to talk about CSS5 by @utilitybend +++ lots more — link 👇🔗

Spent all evening playing with @chrx_h amazing alien-project.org. And I thought playing with Game of Life was fun! Amazing work.


I have continued running my simulation from yesterday and the world looks even more vibrant. The creatures have evolved more aggressive hunting behaviors and developed more muscle cells, making them faster. To make things more challenging, there are death zones, barriers, and…


I think I can now say that I have made some progress towards more interesting evolution simulations in github.com/chrxh/alien. The videos demonstrate the latest progress (sim is running for ~10h; only a fraction of the world is shown). One can easily guess here that all the…

I’m so proud of this work, led by @_chris_lu_ @RobertTLange @cong_ml, and I’m honored to work with @j_foerst @jeffclune on this amazing project. It might just change how science itself is conducted in the future. 🔥 We have open-sourced The AI Scientist: github.com/SakanaAI/AI-Sc…
