My latest music AI programming project, Corrosiphone. Alien looking music instrument, controlled with touch, gestures, light and sound to generate music through degenerative decomposition and procedural AI algorithms.

Made this review of Befaco Oneiroi, a brand new drone #synth and effects module for #eurorack Works as a synth unit and/or effects unit.

My new Befaco module Oneiroi. Interesting drone synth. Now my Frankenstein Modular Voltage Lab is complete and first tests alive! Thanks @Befaco for extremely fast shipping #oneiroi #synth #modularsynth #electronicmusic #turku #finland #experimentalmusic #ambient #nordic #arctic

Using Math and Physics I programmed this tool to fractalise environments, creating mesh and textures for weird exoplanet landscapes. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #UnrealEngine5 My analysis on how to create vast procedural universe with 1000 planets

@Thunder_Owl Leaving X, continuing in Bluesky, Mastodon and WT-Social, and trying to keep as low profile as possible. I try to avoid this modern Me-Myself-and-I attitude. It was easier before influencers and growth hackers hijacked every platform with their hollow talks.

[Mike Laaksonen @AnalyticMike]

Moving to Bluesky. You can follow my procedural universe generation and #UnrealEngine5 #gamedev there if you are interested https://t.co/TbOOu0dASr continuing #AI and #ML projects #procedural #worldbuilding #programming #Mathematics #Fractal I use X rarely, if ever.

@Thunder_Owl Storm was much weaker here. Some damage, but not that much as there, or in Sweden. I also thought about birds here, how tough their life is practically every day, then this storm comes up, and there is the bird flu spreading.

@Thunder_Owl Ok, I am interested. I usually try out these platforms, so far most of them have been major disappointment. It is like going into a casino where every game is rigged, and card dealers favor certain customers, so you lose your money and time regardless what you do.

[Mike Laaksonen @AnalyticMike]

I just sold last acre of #finnish #landscapes I owned. I am now free of landowner obligation, I can leave #Finland since here my #programmer and #AI skills are not needed. Open world awaits! Will code for food! #Scandinavia #nature #arctic #environment #gamedeveloper #gamedev

[Mike Laaksonen @AnalyticMike]

@Thunder_Owl No, isn't it one of those "invitation only" clubs, and I am not invited.

[Mike Laaksonen @AnalyticMike]

@Thunder_Owl Emotionally I can understand land owning, but in Finland our government has made it an expensive burden with ever increasing taxes and new regulations, which force you to install all kinds of very expensive systems (which you do not need). Everything is tightly controlled here.

[Mike Laaksonen @AnalyticMike]

@Thunder_Owl I am very happy, this land owning (property) has been a major burden for me too long. Your Green Man wig is marvelous! Reminds me of Mythago Wood.

[Mike Laaksonen @AnalyticMike]

@flatfingers0 I don't think LLMs solve it yet. This is like playing Infocom games in 80's, except they were better as games. ChatGPT makes grave errors in game logic, and it cannot invent anything it has not learned, so it cannot replace human DM totally. It is also inconsistent on facts.

[Mike Laaksonen @AnalyticMike]

I think my 20y experience in #programming is not needed anymore. I coded short rules which ChatGPT use to create Lovecraftian conspiracy RPG narrative and acts as gamemaster. Dream sequences, alternate realities, even save the game. #RPG #ChatGPT #BingAI #AI #gamedev #GPT4
