Humanity has two universal true adversaries: death and disease. All the rest are manmade. I’m betting on ASI to help us collectively come to this realization; that, or the aliens.

One of the very worst myths in western civilization is the desire for retirement. It would be much healthier (for the individual and society) to consider lifespan as a state of continuous engagements and growth.

Once more people begin thinking natively-AI, I predict anxiety of machine takeover will reduce. The real threat will remain human nature.

In the last few months boundaries between creative practice, engineering and entrepreneurship have all but disappeared for me. If coding originally presented me with a multidimensional paintbrush, AI is unlocking an ultra-dimensional wand.

New work in a new show - a 14 minute AI and generative video @iragreenberg.bsky.social is in this show, too.

Building software now (w AI) feels like playing old text adventure games (e.g., Zork). Sitting at a coffee shop, people watching me from a distance probably think I'm gaming, as I'm so completley caught up in the drama of this emergent, unfolding adventure.

Creative coding is now fully realized!

Throughout 2025, I plan to drop longer form, narrated demonstrations on new ProtoByte features.

Gearing up for an an insanely ambitious project developing an open source, modular agentic platform, combining tons of frameworks. The goal is both to learn the complete stack and hopefully create something useful.
There is no bigger dopamine spike for me than complex learning curves.

It's important to regularly question your assumptions:

'Will my ProtoByte.ts native TypeScript library be a valuable contribution to the available web-based graphics libraries?'

I'm going to burn down www.fxhash.xyz/generative/3... end of day (MST), so if interested in collecting the genesis ProtoByte.ts token for 1 tz, please do so today.
ProtoByte: Scyphozoa.01
Scyphozoa.01 is the alpha release built with my new ProtoByte.ts library. ProtoByte is a Verlet Integration-based creative coding framework designed to simulate and render organic, aesthetic structur

ProtoByte.ts notes:
Interactive squareSphere implementation. The form is based on a cube that may be subdivided to approximate a sphere. Internal structural supports help the form return to its original state after deformation.

Happy Holidays!
A small token of my enormous appreciation !

Before AI went mainstream, I championed the idea of 'Artificial Stupidity' (AS) as a far more intriguing concept. In recent years, I’ve gotten swept up in the AI hype and continue to embrace it with passion, but I find myself musing again about AS.

ProtoByte.ts notes:

Working with an AI IDE, I don't need to manually implement things like Quaternions, Euler rotations , world/local transforms, collision detection, advanced 3D mouse picking, etc, but I DO need to help the AI know when and how to best utilize these things.

I may have a need for an instructor to teach a Processing + Design course remotely for this upcoming spring semester. Please reach out with interest. DM or [email protected]

Release.001

As I begin to release #genart projects and soon enough the ProtoByte library itself, I thought it would be useful to share my thoughts and hopes for the project.

so all working, run, build and build:fxhash
Thanks for all the help. Now I will get on my bike and ride!!!!!
You should do something fun as well

Today, I asked the new ChatGPT o1 about where I could purchase a newer L1 coin (one getting a fair amount of buzz). It's answer was perhaps the most honest, complete and succinct I've ever received from an AI:

'I don't know'

For AI, I use a few platforms:
EmProps.ai
ComfyUI
Midjourney
Photoshop

I've often felt that software/software libraries could use a greater sense of humor or at least more of a whimsical sensibility. (I am a big fan of Kai Krause)
