Is procedural generation "AI" ("slop")
a break from the doom. #generative #vcvrack patch. #eurorack potato video but decent sound, so as not to abuse the mastodon instance #notsoSilentSunday

Infinite Music Machine is a project by Michael Forrest, a generative composition which arranges human-played loops algorithmically. Originally an iOS app, its output is now available online as a kind of endless radio station.

"Physarum 1.0"
This is especially cool, since it integrates with all other forces, here I use for instance a custom turbulence with symmetry and the angular force for a more geometrical look

"Physarum 1.0"
After another day in the HLSL code for my Physarum Force for the particle system in Tooll3, I achieved a first version of agents that follow their own pheromones.
I also added several parameters for a wider range of control.

"Spring"
The problem with synthoids was that they simply thought too much, overly fixated on optimization. The organics played the long game, dancing patiently since the dawn of time.

@neauoire @chrisamaphone Have you ever played around with L-Systems (I bet you did :)? It seems there's a lot of conceptual overlap here, even though they don't offer much in terms of control flow or Turing completeness. I just think they generally still remain somewhat under exposed/explored (beyond the traditional Turtle graphics applications). If you attach different kinds of interpreters, they can be pushed pretty far... In the past I have used them for genetic programming, text & code generation, music composition, and even basic stack machines (where the L-System acts as an iterative macro expansion stage)...
